Description

A rare North Oakland compound just west of Temescal. A light-filled 1915 Craftsman pairing original character with uncommon flexibility. The main house sits sunny and high on the street, with box-beam living and dining rooms, an updated kitchen, baths fully remodeled in 2022, and a lower-level office/flex room. Out front, raised beds and fruit trees. In the back, the property unfolds into a true garden retreat: three decks, a 2023 patio, a small lawn, a hot tub, and a clawfoot tub under the huge avocado tree. Two permitted detached structures, finaled in 2021 and clad in reclaimed redwood, round out the compound. A cottage with bath, and a soundproofed workshop with subpanel and barn doors that swing wide for a studio, office, or guests. Engineered seismic retrofit, EBMUD-compliant sewer lateral valid through 2036, owned 2.3 kW Enphase solar, dual tankless water heaters, whole-house Aquasana filtration, dual-pane windows, and Sonic gigabit fiber. Large driveway and dedicated bike shed. Tons of storage and future possibilites in the large attic? Quieter residential streets with quick access to Joodooboo, Sushi Salon, Emeryville, and the gems along Telegraph. Eight-minute walk to MacArthur BART; easy on/off at 580/24.
