Built in 1914, this 3BR/1.5BA Craftsman has been thoughtfully renovated into a modern home with vintage touches. [Fun fact for music fans: the house was formerly owned and inhabited by the band CAKE during their Oakland years! Wear your short skirt and loooong jacket!] Set back from the street, 314 Lester has a pretty front yard and wide driveway (room for 2+ cars) with a wooden gate leading into the rear yard. The front porch opens onto a sunny formal living room with large windows that overlook the front yard, exposed wood ceiling beams, and original built-in cabinetry. The living room adjoins a spacious dining room with more beautiful built-ins and original wood-burning stove. Updated eat-in kitchen has granite counter tops and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and leads to a large rear deck, ready to host summer night dinners! Off the kitchen is a laundry room and a newly renovated half bath. The second level has 3 bedrooms; the largest overlooks the front yard, and there are two other ample-sized bedrooms off the upstairs hallway. Renovated upstairs bathroom with shower over tub, and separate water closet. There is a 2nd back deck overlooking the rear yard at the end of the upstairs hallway. Fantastic yard ringed with pine trees and bougainvillia, with sunny center area perfect for raised planters beds, bocce, or whatever your heart desires. Convenient and cute Lake Merritt neighborhood. Just 2 blocks to the lake for jogging and picniking. 2 blocks to Lucky and Walgreens for easy shopping, and local favorite Portal, for great outdoor food and drink. Halfway between the Lake Merritt casual carpool and BART stations at Lake Merritt and 19th St. Small pets considered. 1 year lease. Available November 1. Showing by appointment only. Please call or email to take a look!
