Property Description

Built in 1910 and elevated above Lake Merritt, this distinctive Craftsman pairs rich architectural character with an exceptional and iconic Oakland location. A generous front porch welcomes you inside, where beautifully preserved woodwork, hardwood floors, and a Heath tile fireplace and built-in bookcases lend warmth and character to the spacious living room. The remarkable dining room features a beamed ceiling, substantial wood wainscoting, illuminated built-ins, and original-style wall sconces. An expansive kitchen with a commercial-style Wolf Stove and recently refinished Sipo mahogany countertops overlooks the lush rear garden. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer inviting retreats. The primary bedroom enjoys views of Lake Merritt and a private balcony, while two additional bedrooms open to an enclosed sunporch with walls of windows overlooking the garden. Outside, mature greenery and ferns galore surround a secluded patio. A basement provides flexible space for projects, exercise, laundry, and storage.* Just blocks from Lake Merritt, the home is ideally situated for enjoying the Oakland Museum of California, Grand Lake Theatre, Grand Lake Farmers Market, and an abundance of beloved neighborhood cafés and restaurants. A wonderful combination of timeless craftsmanship, inviting outdoor spaces, and the best of Oakland living. *Buyer to verify use of space.
