About This Home

As of April 2025

Incomparable opportunity for an owner-occupant or investor in this gorgeously renovated Craftsman duplex with 2 beautiful VACANT homes in Oakland’s lively Lake Merritt neighborhood. Totalling 4548 SQFT, the upper unit is 3BD/2BA and the lower is 2BD/2.5BA with a bonus alcove. Both units offer incredible architectural details including fine woodwork, wainscoting, leaded glass built-in cabinetry, pocket doors, stained glass windows, and vintage fireplaces in BOTH the living and dining rooms. Yet the homes also have great modern upgrades: chic, spa-like bathrooms; huge, stylish eat-in kitchens with top-of-the line appliances; convenient laundry; and gorgeous light fixtures. The upper unit boasts a wonderful balcony spanning the living room, a large deck off the kitchen offering indoor/outdoor living, and internal stairs down to the backyard oasis. The lower unit has a welcoming front porch, a small deck off the kitchen, and immediate steps to the tremendous backyard. The large flagstone patio, mature flowering landscaping, and meandering paths provide a place to relax, entertain, or play. Plus a large basement for massive storage. Enjoy all that the Grand Lake area has to offer - dining, shopping, yoga, gyms, Whole Foods/Trader Joe’s, nearby BART and Transbay buses, & Lake Merritt.
