Description

818 E18th Street brings classic Oakland character, flexible multi-unit living, and rare usable space into one interesting property. From the street, the home has that unmistakable old-Oakland Victorian presence, the kind of charm you do not see replicated in newer construction. Inside, the property is laid out with two main residential units plus a ground-level flex space behind the garage, giving the next owner ways to use, occupy, or explore its potential. The upper unit, 816, is a bright 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence with durable white oak finish hard-flooring, clean countertops, honeycomb tile backsplash, stainless steel stove, bistro-style hood, wood floating shelves, and an eat-in kitchen counter. One bedroom opens to a large private balcony with stairs down to the shared backyard, creating great indoor-outdoor flow. The bathroom feels fresh and bright with windows, a newer vanity, newer tub, and white tile. This unit also features a finished attic area, ideal for storage, creative use, or flex space. The main unit, 818, is where the property opens up. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout features warm honey-brown hard-surface flooring throughout, two full bathrooms, and a bright kitchen with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, exhaust fan, clean countertops, and a slab-style backsplash from counter to cabinet. One bathroom includes a standing shower, while the other offers a tub with shower. This unit also has direct access to the backyard and its own patio platform with washer/dryer access. Behind the garage, the ground-level flex space adds another layer of possibility. Currently configured with multiple rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette-style area with cabinetry, counters, and dining nook, this space offers flexibility for storage, creative use, work-from-home needs, hobby space, or owner-directed possibilities. Buyers are encouraged to verify permitted use, square footage, and potential with the City of Oakland. Outdoor space ties everything together with a communal backyard, balcony access from the upper unit, direct yard access from the main unit, and garage/storage possibilities. Each living area has access to its own laundry setup or dedicated laundry area, making the property more functional for multi-unit living. 818 E18th Street is not your cookie-cutter Oakland property. It has character, scale, income potential, and flexible spaces that make it worth a closer look for buyers who understand the value of a property with option
