Own a Oakland Gem
Embodying timeless character, privacy, and sweeping vistas, this 1920s Crocker Highlands Tudor Revival offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. The home has been thoughtfully contemporized, making it livable for today’s lifestyle while maintaining the home’s original integrity. A two-story layout ensures flexibility with a powder room on the main level and a flexible lower basement with separate entrance for office, guest room or family room space.
Ascend the steps and enter a private sanctuary, comfortably elevated from the street and embraced by lush landscaping for a truly secluded treehouse-like setting. Oversized windows bathe the spacious living room in sunlight, revealing captivating hillside vistas beyond. The original baroque fireplace surround and tile hearth grounds the space. A dedicated dining room is spacious enough to accommodate large family gatherings. The updated kitchen, with its central island, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry, seamlessly blends modern functionality with the home's historical character. French doors usher you out to the backyard offering indoor / outdoor flow. Here, you’ll find a new hot tub and flagstone patio, illuminated by bistro lights, creating the perfect outdoor ambiance. A tiered grassy area, accessible by stairs, makes a great kids’ play area.
Three bedrooms and two full baths reside upstairs, including the primary suite, which boasts a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom, a rarity in many vintage homes. Ample closet space and a dedicated attic ensure there's a place for everything. Original details, such as a stained-glass window and hardwood flooring, contribute to the warmth and charm permeating the home. Custom window treatments and designer light fixtures elevate the interiors.
Beyond your doorstep, you’ll discover the magic of Crocker Highlands with its hidden walking paths leading you to shops and restaurants on Lakeshore Avenue, the Saturday Farmer’s Market, Lake Merritt or Crocker Highlands Elementary. Easy access to 580 puts you close to all of East Bay’s hotspots. This coveted location offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful oasis tucked away amongst the hills and trees, yet conveniently close to all the action.
