NEW PRICE! Welcome to 1538 16th Avenue, a charming early-1900s Oakland home now offered at $452,000. Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, a spacious layout, and classic architectural details create an excellent opportunity to restore its original character while adding your own style and modern updates. Located on a shorter stretch of 16th Avenue directly across from the historic St. Anthony campus and church, the property enjoys a more open streetscape and generous street parking directly in front. The garage and expansive lower-level space offer flexibility for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or other future possibilities (buyer to investigate). Conveniently located near Lake Merritt, parks, shopping, dining, public transportation, and major commuter routes, this is a unique opportunity to reimagine a classic Oakland residence at an exceptional new price.
