In the heart of the coveted Grand Lake neighborhood, this beautiful 4 BR, 2.5 BA home is the perfect blend of historic architecture, contemporary comfort, and walkable access to the best of Oakland. The house is exceptional: built over 100 years ago, the main floor features original Craftsman woodwork in spacious living and dining rooms for an elegant yet warm feel. The large chef's kitchen blends with the home’s historic character while featuring a modern aesthetic and quality appliances. Two sets of french doors lead to a deck designed for entertaining, offering seamless indoor/outdoor access to an extensive garden - a lush oasis of mature trees, flowering plants and succulents, as well as a charming garden studio in the foliage. Upstairs, the expansive light-filled primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom with clawfoot tub are perfect for relaxing. The home also features sizable and bright bedrooms, fresh interior paint, a lovely exterior, owned solar, a garage, a large unfinished basement, and an unusually deep lot. This extraordinary house is located on a quiet street yet is just steps away from the diverse shops and delicious restaurants of Grand Avenue, the Morcom Rose Garden and Lake Merritt, and the lively Saturday farmer’s market. Come see this rare Oakland gem of a home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
