Lovingly updated 1913 Bungalow on a 6,000 sq ft lot, with garden, solar panels, and a workshop below We're hosting an open house on Monday 9/21 and Tuesday 9/21! We'll be here from 9/21: 11am - 6:30 pm. 9/22: 5:30pm - 8:30pm. Stop by anytime! Built in 1913 and brought up to date by us resident owners, this bungalow at 1018 59th Street sits on a huge 6,000-square-foot North Oakland lot. Three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,315 square feet of finished living space rest above a full-size basement. The open living and dining room flows into a spacious kitchen with an island and pantry. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully remodeled. Fisher & Paykel appliances anchor the kitchen, including a 36-inch induction range. The house is all-electric, running quietly on rooftop solar with Powerwall batteries to carry it through evening peak energy rates and the occasional outage. Throughout the years, we've added Marvin Ultimate double-pane windows, all-new electrical, air conditioning, and Lutron smart shades to keep it comfortable year-round. Gigabit fiber internet and hardwired Ubiquiti Wi-Fi 6 access points keep you connected indoors and out. We've also added thoughtful and practical built-in storage. We've taken advantage of the huge garden, designed for growing and gathering. An outdoor kitchen with a charcoal grill and sink sits beside a firepit lounge. Ten Corten steel raised beds each run on their own drip zone. A greywater system returns shower water to the garden, so long showers come guilt-free. Fifteen fruit trees and a passion fruit vine fill the yard, most already bearing: lemon, lime, mandarin, apple, nectarine, peach, plum, sour cherry, apricot, persimmon, fig, lemon guava, and pomegranate. A young mango and a cherimoya (hand-pollination optional) will soon find their stride. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currants fill in the edges. Native plants keep the garden humming with pollinators and hummingbirds. At the back, we built a large chicken coop with a smaller companion coop for your potential flock. The lower level is unfinished at 1,282 square feet in addition to the living area. It holds a workshop for woodworking or garden projects, a laundry area with an LG washer and dryer, and abundant storage for any hobby. Initial 12-month lease, then month-to-month. Offered unfurnished. Furniture and other items outlined in gray on the floor plan are not included. Pets welcome. Electricity (PG&E) included at a flat rate - we are billed at tru-up with a grandfathered net-metering plan, and can pass the savings to you. In cases of very high usage, additional true-up costs will be billed on a pro-rated basis. Garbage fees to be covered by renter, currently $171.96 per quarter. Owners can provide routine garden maintenance. Visits are coordinated in advance, at reasonable times, with legally required notice, and limited to the garden.
