Welcome to 249 Makin Rd, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with bonus rear unit that blends warmth, privacy, and everyday functionality in a convenient Oakland location. Step inside to freshly painted walls and rich hardwood flooring that flows throughout the living room and all three bedrooms, creating a bright, cohesive feel from room to room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with stylish shaker cabinetry, sleek stainless steel appliances, durable granite countertops, and a full matching backsplash — a functional yet inviting space for everyday cooking and gathering. The bathroom continues the home's polished, modern aesthetic with a walk-in shower framed by an elegant quartz backsplash. Practical upgrades add lasting comfort and efficiency, including dual-pane windows for improved insulation and noise reduction and a tankless water heater for on-demand hot water. Outdoors, the home offers just as much to love. An automatic security gate and newly installed wood fence create a strong sense of privacy and peace of mind, while the front yard's covered porch invites quiet morning coffees or evening relaxation. Out back, a covered patio complete with a ceiling fan sets the stage for effortless entertaining, rain or shine. Low-maintenance artificial turf spans both the front and backyard, delivering a clean, green look without the upkeep, and a long driveway provides generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Perhaps most exciting is the versatile bonus unit at the rear of the property, complete with its own kitchen and full bathroom. Whether used as a space for extended family, a private guest suite, a home office, or a rental opportunity, this addition makes the property remarkably adaptable to a variety of lifestyles and needs. Ideally situated near everyday shopping, dining, parks, Oakland International Airport, and major transportation routes, 249 Makin Rd offers the rare combination of comfort, flexibility, and accessibility. Whether you're searching for a move-in-ready home with room to grow or an income-generating opportunity with a separate living space, this Oakland gem checks every box. Don't miss your chance to make it yours. Open house on Sat 9/26 and Sun 9/27 from 2-4m.
