Property Description

Welcome home to this North Oakland beauty, filled with light and classic period architecture that feels just like a single-family home. Step onto your private first-floor porch, then head up to your light-filled, west-facing living quarters where afternoon sunshine pours through room after room. Beautiful wood dual-pane windows, designer light fixtures, and warm oak floors set an elegant tone throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a true standout: Viking gas range and hood, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and warming oven, wine refrigerator, stone counters, generous wood cabinetry, recessed task and accent lighting, and a wall of windows framing the expanded eat-in countertop with custom seating. It is perfect for dinner parties. The living room is rich with original details: tall coved ceilings, built-ins, picture rail, wainscoting, and pocket doors. The main bedroom fits a king-size bed and includes a sitting or desk nook, with an updated bath just steps away featuring refreshed grout, paint, lighting, and a tiled shower surround. The second bedroom is flexible and light-filled with two window sets and a charming period tile fireplace. An in-unit Miele washer and dryer are included. Pull-down attic stairs lead to a sizable storage space for all your seasonal items. Outside, a shared fenced back deck is ideal for BBQs and al fresco dining, and your deeded finished garage with automatic opener sits right off the deck. Key systems: roof (2018), central heating (2020), water heater (2015), seismic retrofit (2006), sewer and sidewalk in compliance. WalkScore 93, Biker's Paradise 98. Steps to Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl, Bushrod Park, local cafes, and bookstores, with easy access to Rockridge, Berkeley, and San Francisco.
