First time on the market in more than 60 years, this classic Oakland fixer is rich with character and possibility. Set in a beautiful and scenic neighborhood just minutes from Lake Merritt, it offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a home with authentic charm. Original vintage details include hardwood floors, stained glass windows, hand-crafted wood built-ins, and a welcoming breakfast nook. The versatile lower level with its own entrance adds privacy and opens the door to creative use – studio, office, guest space, or more. The large detached garage offers additional potential for a workshop, storage, or future ADU (buyer to verify). With a back deck, private yard, and multi-level layout, this home is a genuine blank canvas. Incredible location close to Grand Avenue cafés and shops, restaurants, 580, and BART. Bring your vision! This East Bay gem is ready for its next chapter!
