About This Home
Charming & Restored 4BR/3BA Home | The Heart of North Oakland
A Private Oasis Nestled Between Piedmont Ave, Rockridge & Temescal
The Ultimate East Bay Lifestyle
Experience the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort in this lovingly restored family home. Situated in the most sought-after "Golden Triangle" pocket of Oakland, you are walking distance to the best dining and shopping on Piedmont Ave, Rockridge, and Temescal. Whether you’re commuting or working from home, this location offers unparalleled convenience and the very best of East Bay living.
The Home: Meticulously Cared For
This isn't just a rental; it’s a home that has been upgraded and cherished by the owner for over 20 years.
Space to Breathe: 4 spacious, sun-drenched bedrooms and 3 full, updated bathrooms.
Chef’s Delight: A large, open-concept kitchen with premium finishes—specifically designed for those who love to cook and entertain.
Comfortable Living: An expansive living room with plenty of natural light and original architectural character.
Work & Dine: Includes a dedicated home office for deep work and a formal dining room for intentional family gatherings.
An Inclusive, Family & Pet-Friendly Environment
We are looking for tenants who share our community values and will care for this home as much as we have.
Family-Centered: Quiet, safe, child-friendly—located near top-tier schools and local parks.
Pet-Friendly: We know pets are family! Well-behaved companions are welcome (please inquire for details).
Community Values: We maintain a strictly inclusive and progressive environment. We are looking for neighbors who value diversity, kindness, and equity. This home is a space for those who align with these inclusive East Bay values; it is not a fit for those who support the Trump platform or similar ideologies.
Utilities & Flexibility
We want to make your move as seamless as possible:
All-Inclusive: All utilities (Water, PG&E, Trash) and high-speed Fiber Internet are included in the monthly rent.
EV Ready: Private EV charging is available on-site for a flat $100/month fee.
Furnishing Options: Available fully furnished, partially furnished, or unfurnished—we are happy to negotiate to fit your needs.
Move-In Ready: The house is ready for you now, or we can discuss a timeline that allows you to put your own finishing touches on the space.
Commuter’s Dream
BART: A pleasant 20-minute walk to two different stations (MacArthur and Rockridge).
Freeways: Just 5 minutes away from four major freeway on-ramps (580, 13, 24, and 880).
Walk Score: A "Walker’s Paradise"—everything you need is within a 10–15 minute stroll.
See it for yourself!
