    What's special

    In the heart of the coveted Grand Lake neighborhood, this beautiful 4 BR, 2.5 BA home is the perfect blend of historic architecture, contemporary comfort, and walkable access to the best of Oakland. The house is exceptional: built over 100 years ago, the main floor features original Craftsman woodwork in spacious living and dining rooms for an elegant yet warm feel. The large chef's kitchen blends with the home’s historic character while featuring a modern aesthetic and quality appliances. Two sets of french doors lead to a deck designed for entertaining, offering seamless indoor/outdoor access to an extensive garden - a lush oasis of mature trees, flowering plants and succulents, as well as a charming garden studio in the foliage. Upstairs, the expansive light-filled primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom with clawfoot tub are perfect for relaxing. The home also features sizable and bright bedrooms, fresh interior paint, a lovely exterior, owned solar, a garage, a large unfinished basement, and an unusually deep lot. This extraordinary house is located on a quiet street yet is just steps away from the diverse shops and delicious restaurants of Grand Avenue, the Morcom Rose Garden and Lake Merritt, and the lively Saturday farmer’s market. Come see this rare Oakland gem of a home!
