It doesn’t get more Oakland than this immaculate lovingly restored, structurally updated, Craftsman bungalow! Peacefully and privately nestled behind trees and foliage yet only one block from all the action on Lake Merritt, the recently remodeled charmer makes the most of its 1,257 square feet of living space PLUS 479 square feet of basement/garage space. Teeming with character details, modern touches and refinished hardwood floors throughout, the interiors fit any design style. Easy flow from the front door takes you into the living room, where a fireplace and built-in cabinets give the space a charming authentic feel. The living room opens to the dining room with a built-in buffet — ideal for entertaining friends and family. The sun-drenched kitchen has been upgraded to today’s standards with a convenient pass-through to the dining room, newer stainless steel appliances, new plumbing fixtures and a large workstation sink. Two bedrooms are balanced with a classic full bath that has been thoughtfully remodeled to match the style of the house — complete with a clawfoot tub. An attached laundry space with stacked washer/dryer and storage, a bonus basement storage space that can double as an art studio or workshop space. Off the primary bedroom is a bonus office / nursery / sitting room space (possible en-suite bath?) with access to the yard add to the timeless appeal of this home. The private backyard is an entertainer’s haven with multiple seating and hangout areas set on multiple levels. A dining area, pergola, grass and mature landscaping all create an oasis-like setting that will inspire outdoor entertaining all year long. There is so much potential with this house, giving you lots of flexibility to grow with life’s changes. The front yard has room for a courtyard or a bonus second parking space, and the oversized garage has plenty of storage for exercise, art, or workshop space . Permit Ready Drawings are even available for a second bath, and are ready for permit submittal. The owners have cared for this home and added numerous upgrades through the years, including a newer forced air furnace, newer foundation throughout and upgraded electrical service. And the location cannot be beat! You’re just steps to Lake Merritt, BART, downtown, or Grand Lake / Lakeshore neighborhoods for restaurants, shops and Saturday Farmers Market.
Special thanks to local muralist Thea Becker for her talents and gifts she lent to this project. She lives in the neighborhood and took special pride in creating the hummingbird art for all to enjoy.

Oakland’s lovely hillside neighborhoods and lively shopping districts draw residents to the East Bay’s largest city - an exciting, vibrant, urban community. In the Sequoyah-Chabot neighborhood, many homeowners enjoy large lots that border the East Bay Regional Park and the Lake Chabot Golf Course. Montclair’s homes are situated on forested lots that offer a quiet retreat from the city. Temescal is an up-and-coming neighborhood along bustling Telegraph Avenue, with the feel of an urban village. In Jack London Square near the waterfront, old warehouses and former factories have been converted to loft living. Lakeshore-Upper Grand, with its mix of shopping, restaurants, antique stores, and a farmers market, is one of Oakland’s most eclectic neighborhoods. For those who live in Claremont, the Elmwood Shopping District offers a variety of old-fashioned shops and mixture of merchants. It’s easy to enjoy a wide variety of year-round outdoor activities in Oakland. Lake Merritt, located in the heart of the city, offers a 3.4-mile walking path, picnicking, sailing, and kayaking. Redwood and Joaquin Regional Parks encompass stately forests of 150-foot coast redwoods and provide miles of hiking, jogging, and horseback-riding trails. Anthony Chabot Regional Park offers golfing, an equestrian center, hiking, bicycling, and fishing. For sports fans, Oakland is home to the Oakland Raiders, Oakland Athletics, Golden State Warriors, and the Golden Gate Fields racetrack Oakland residents have plenty of public transportation options, including Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), buses, ferries, and casual carpools. Oakland International Airport is serviced by more than 10 major airlines.
