Property Description

On a lush corner in North Oakland at the Emeryville border, this lovingly updated three-level Craftsman sits behind a gate and among a canopy of mature trees. The setting feels sheltered and private, and the rooms within are filled with natural light, with dappled afternoon sun moving across wide-plank oak floors and verdant views framed by dual-pane windows. The living room, dining room with cozy wood-burning stove, and chef's kitchen flow gracefully together on the main level, where a roomy half bath houses the stacked laundry. The kitchen pairs quartz counters with a large butcher block island with storage, a vented gas range, a built-in corner banquette, and a generous butler's pantry. French doors open from the kitchen onto a redwood deck with room for outdoor dining and a hot tub, extending everyday living into the garden. The second floor holds three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a wall of windows, an ensuite bath, and a customized walk-in closet. Baths offer bespoke tile work, custom vanities, and new lighting. The third floor suite offers a sitting area, bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and balcony, a natural arrangement for guests or extended family. In all, the home offers four bedrooms and three and a half baths. The grounds are as considered as the interior. A gated front yard with a sitting area unfolds like a secret garden, and the side yard features custom storage bins topped with living roofs. Practical updates include 200-amp electrical service, and the original curb cut remains, offering the potential to restore part of the rear yard to off-street parking. The location places the best of Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville close at hand, with neighborhood/San Pablo hot spots (Paradise Park Cafe, Café Colucci, Wondrous Brewing Company), Doyle Hollis Park just blocks away, Berkeley Bowl West nearby, and easy access to the dining and shopping of Temescal, Rockridge, and Emeryville. Flat neighborhood great for biking and strolling, with convenient access to Interstate 80 and Highway 24. Just blocks from frequent AC Transit service along San Pablo Avenue, with Ashby BART nearby for easy access throughout the Bay Area.
