Own an Oakland Gem
Imagine living in this classic Craftsman home, now solar-powered, on a larger than average lot right in the heart of Rockridge! Stroll to the popular stores and highly rated restaurants of College ave., Market Hall, and Trader Joes, while having excellent access to BART and downtown Oakland and SF.
This 2 bedroom, 1 bath split level home features beautiful and big spaces, with sunny outlooks and abundant storage throughout. The formal living and dining rooms are perfect for entertaining, with gleaming hardwood floors, and the original classic craftsman stone fireplace in the living room. There is room for a crowd at dinner in the formal dining room, which features a large built-in buffet. The owners smartly updated the bath when they purchased, using custom subway tile work, quality fixtures and adding in a large linen closet for storage.* The bedrooms are generously sized with ample closet space. The rear bedroom is up just three steps, where it gets wonderful afternoon sun and overlooks the garden.
*possible location for a stackable washer / dryer?
From the large and light filled eat-in kitchen you can enjoy the beauty of the gorgeous rear garden! Newer appliances compliment the original, quality wood cabinetry and built in storage. Exterior door leads to a porch perfect for morning coffee and access to the backyard.
The garden of this Rockridge home and has been lovingly curated over the period of the seller's ownership. The backyard is full of mature plants such as blueberry, nectarine, lemon, orange and pluot. Each year you can look forward to excellent oranges in the winter and spring, lemons in all seasons, lush blueberries and stone fruits in summer, plus delicious pears in the fall. A Juniper Evergreen and Dusty Miller are drought resistant. Camelias, rhododendron, maples, and an amazing Grevilea in the front yard complete the lush landscaping.
This home also has important upgrades, such as newer recessed lighting in the living room, electrical updates, an efficient on-demand H2O heater, a fully owned solar system, and seismic updates including bolting and shear panelling. There is a partial basement with laundry (washer) and space for a dryer.
The large lot provides wonderful outdoor space, and extends through from Broadway to Manila Ave, (also another way to enter property). A large detached 2-car detached garage with an automatic opener is located on the Manila Ave. side of the house, and it offers potential for a possible ADU or an excellent workshop.
Many transport links and the Prospect Steps, Lake Temescal and other regional parks are easily accessible from this dream location!
