Description

What happens when a gifted artist's wonderland gets a modern soul? This 6bd/2.5ba Victorian stunner at 2503 E 16th Street, Oakland, is the 3,314 sq ft* jewelry box you've heard whispers about — eclectic, warm, and dripping with character — but now she's been loved even more. The entry greets you with greenery and florals. Inside, natural light pours through the parlor, illuminating custom wallpaper, bronze pocket doors, and original wood floors. Antique embossed tin ceilings run throughout, creating a rich opulence that stops you in your tracks. The dining room brings brick, abundant windows, and room for all your vibrant dinner parties. The kitchen is fresh, with new (2026) paint and refrigerator. Upstairs, a Murphy bed and smart storage make the back bedroom work harder, and the updated vanity in the bathroom and resurfaced clawfoot tub feel polished and intentional. Out back, the converted garage is ready for your creative vision — redwood boards, custom window treatments, new (2026) torch down roof overhead. The bonus room now has a proper kitchenette (butcher block, sink, cabinets, fridge), making it a legitimate home office, guest suite, or income opportunity*. The side yard is flagstone and landscaped. There's a cedar fence framing the front yard, a Tesla charger in place, and a hot tub running on an efficient heat pump system. This beguiling Victorian has always had it all. Now it has even more. 2503 E 16th Street is in a convenient location close to downtown Oakland, San Francisco, and transportation nodes. Sewer and sidewalk compliant.
