Experience Oakland luxury just two blocks from stunning Lake Merritt. This magnificent two-story Arts & Crafts home harmoniously blends historic charm with modern convenience. From the moment you arrive at the welcoming front porch and into the classic entry hall, you'll appreciate the distinctive craftsmanship: handcrafted woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, rich built-ins and natural light throughout. Entertain in style within the elegant living room and formal dining room, complete with cozy window seats and a charming fireplace. The renovated, huge eat-in kitchen features modern appliances while maintaining period character, with a glass door opening to a private oasis. The meticulously landscaped yard offers winding brick pathways, patio spaces for outdoor entertaining, and a versatile detached cottage perfect for a home office or guest accommodations. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms each boast walk-in closets, while two luxuriously updated bathrooms showcase premium Restoration Hardware finishes. Practical amenities include ample parking in the deep, gated driveway. Located minutes from BART, the famous Grand/Lakeshore Farmers Market, and all the dining and shopping the neighborhood offers, this Oakland gem delivers sophisticated living with modern functionality.
