About This Home
Fall in love with this eye-catching Spanish Revival tucked into one of Oakland’s most coveted locations between Grand Lake & Piedmont Ave. Passing through the arched doorway, you are immediately wrapped in warmth and character. Rich hardwood floors, graceful finishes of the tradition, and sunlight pouring through abundant windows create a home that feels timeless and inviting. The spacious living room centers around the fireplace and flows into the dining room, where the doors open to a wrap around balcony with beautiful Rose Garden views. The updated kitchen is bright and welcoming, featuring stainless steel appliances, clean tile finishes, and charming original built-ins. A flexible main level bedroom with a Murphy bed offers space for guests, a home office, or a creative retreat. The lower level includes a laundry area and a two-car garage. Upstairs, two bright bedrooms provide generous closets and peaceful natural light. Step outside and discover a backyard designed for life. The backyard is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or dining al fresco while enjoying the outdoors. All of this is just moments from Piedmont Avenue, Grand Avenue, cafes, restaurants, and the lovely Morcom Rose Garden. Seller has made several considerable updates during their stewardship.
