839 60th Street is a true urban oasis, a 1920s bungalow with in-law apartment in a beautiful lush setting. Upstairs is cheerful and sunny with lovely matchstick hardwood floors. Big eat-in kitchen with custom tile work and lots of cabinets with pretty green glass pulls. 2 generous bedrooms. Downstairs is a sweet 650 square foot 1 bedroom garden apartment with bamboo floors and more custom tile work in the kitchen and bath — perfect to help out with the mortgage and will be delivered vacant. As if the house isn’t wonderful enough, it’s the yard that steals the show. The established and productive garden is loaded with fruit trees, several varieties of berries, vegetable beds, culinary and medicinal herb garden, and a riot of flowers! With a great big chicken coop/rabbit hutch this is a real urban homestead. In fact, the Seller ran the Institute for Urban Homesteading right here teaching classes on gardening and harvest, bee keeping, canning, and cheese making — all activities that were in full swing on site. Incredible. And if all that isn’t enough, there is also a fantastic 250 square foot garden level room that’s too nice for storage and big and bright enough for use as shop or art studio space, plus an attached garage and plenty of off-street parking. The property has so much to offer in all its flexible and usable spaces. The great North Oakland location is central to everything. Walk to Lois the Pie Queen, Sweet Adeline Bakery, and 2 nearby farmers markets. Just over a half mile to Ashby BART, but also convenient to the MacArthur and Rockridge stations. The owner dubbed her property Beegrrl Gardens because of her longtime commitment to bee keeping, the health of bee colonies, and a desire to create a pollinator paradise. This delightful property is everything the modern homesteader could hope for. Well-loved and cared for over the years by its doting owner, this fantastic property is ready for its next steward.
