About This Property

There is a particular kind of East Bay house that knows how to hold two stories at once. A house with the bones of one century and the breath of the next. 969 63rd Street is one of those houses, a Craftsman with a modern second life, tucked into one of the East Bay's most spirited corners. Behind a quiet facade in Oakland's Paradise Park neighborhood, the home opens into something generous and sun-filled. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,295 square feet of living space spread across two stories on a 3,960 square foot lot, arranged with purpose. A massive chef's kitchen anchors the main level, its center island built for the long dinners and weekday mornings that real life is made of. The kitchen and family room move into one another easily, and a formal dining room offers a quieter counterpoint when the occasion calls for it. The flow allows you to move throughout with ease and pulls you towards the rear deck and a generous backyard, ready for gardening, gathering, or simply lingering. On the main level, a full bedroom and bathroom sit ready for guests or a work-from-home setup. Upstairs, the primary suite was designed to offer you a pure escape. Here are two more generous bedrooms and a fully updated guest bathroom, offering wonderful space and rounding out the awesome floorplan. What you cannot see from the street is the work underneath. Completely redone in 2016, from its foundation, electrical, plumbing, roof, and everything in between, this home truly was redesigned to last comfortably for another hundred years. The setting matters too. This corner of North Oakland sits at the meeting point of Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville, with Ashby BART within walking distance and AC Transit lines running along San Pablo Avenue. Berkeley Bowl, Trader Joe's, and the cafés and markets that give the area its texture are all close at hand. Bay Street shopping, Pixar's headquarters, and the Emeryville waterfront are minutes away. The streets here are flat, walkable, and built for biking, and the rhythm of daily life unfolds accordingly.
