2980 Jordan Rd, Oakland, CA 94602

Property Description

Just where you think Jordan Road ends, a driveway leads to a two-car garage with ample recessed storage. Up the front stairs, a private, level front yard with lush grass surrounded by perennials welcomes you to a breathtaking bespoke haven. The welcoming front porch opens to all-level living with sublime flow. The living room, with a door to the backyard, is sizable yet cozy, anchored by a stacked flagstone fireplace with a gas insert. Off the living room is a sleeping wing with three bedrooms and a large bathroom featuring a dual sink vanity, a large linen closet, and a separate water closet with built-in cabinetry. On the other wing of the living room is a magical, oversized kitchen and dining great room with three skylights and an enormous eat-at island. Above the sink, an oversized bank of windows overlooks lush fruit trees. From there, you reach the primary suite, with a bathroom featuring a vintage vanity, tub, and skylight, a space that recalls a past stay in Big Sur. This 1951 home has been updated with Douglas fir doors, dual-paned wood-clad windows, a walk-in pantry, laundry, a half bathroom, and storage off the backyard. You can gather and spill out to play around the main house level, or meander up one of two staircases to the upper deck, built around a majestic oak tree with a hot tub. The 29,480-square-foot lot also boasts an outdoor fireplace, a vintage playhouse, a play structure, a chicken coop, and a modern detached office. This property is one of one. Lush shades of emerald, pine, and forest calm your spirit as you look out through a plethora of windows. Just a few blocks off Redwood Road, yet this place feels substantial, like a mid-century farmhouse in the woods.
