Timeless Beauty in north oakland

Welcome to this timeless beauty on a lovely tree-lined street in North Oakland. This three bedroom and one bathroom home is south-facing with clapboard, redwood siding, and large bay windows. The formal living room and dining room have tall, coved ceilings, charming flat panel wainscoting, and a set of pocket doors. Plus, there is a fireplace and a recessed built-in. Two very handsome rooms indeed. Off the dining area is the kitchen with newer appliances, and a stone counter with a recessed sink above which east light filters through a set of windows. Off the kitchen is a back door that accesses the yard and basement area. Each of the three bedrooms is unique from the other, but they all share substantial natural light. The rear bedroom looks out onto the fragrant wisteria vine in the backyard. 

So much to love in the big, updated bathroom – with its detailed black and white tilework, a true soaking tub, plus walk-in shower – joyfully embrace your bath routine. 

Outside is a refuge. Stunning flowers, sweet smells of verbenas, rich and varied colors of the ferns, trumpet flowers, and an active lemon tree, to name a bit of the variety that is found in this paradise. Set into the rear of the yard is a cozy patio – providing the perfect spot to enjoy the sights, sounds, and aromas of this yard. A detached bonus space in the garden was used by the seller as their perfect little “casita” for creative projects, game night, and hosting an eclectic dinner party*. The basement area is large and waiting for all your gear, from bikes to kayaks to everything in between.

The driveway in front delivers ample off-street parking. This gem on 56th Street is the perfect Oakland location as it is adjacent to dedicated bike lanes (86 BikeScore™), local parks, MacArthur BART, bus lines, and a plethora of shopping and dining options. Be sure and check this fantastic property – you might just find yourself staying a while.
