As of October 2021At the nexus of cottage charm & Craftsman-era architectural detail, beautifully updated with exquisite quartz countertops, new hardwood flooring, & designer lighting throughout, this serene 2+ BD/1 BA in North Oakland’s Bushrod neighborhood beckons you home! A handsome brick-faced fireplace graces the living room, as does the natural light streaming in through a multitude of windows. The open-plan kitchen & dining room space creates the perfect setting for large gatherings of friends & family, flowing out through French doors to the 2-level deck, verdant lawn, & garden beyond. Both bedrooms – as well as the full bathroom -- are upstairs & each contains generous closet space. The rear bedroom has an adjacent glass-enclosed sunroom overlooking the backyard & detached home office. Bushrod Park & sports fields are at the end of the block where neighbors gather to romp & play with kids and dogs. Highly-rated Peralta Elementary School is nearby, as are Rockridge shops, eateries, & BART!
