Craftsman Charm Meets Vintage 80s Cool: Flexible Living Just Steps from Park Blvd & Dimond Park! The vintage 80s are back at 1516 Wellington where classic Craftsman architecture meets playful retro flair and incredibly flexible living across 2561 square feet in the heart of walkable Glenview. Just steps from Park Blvd’s shops and cafés and the rolling lawns, trees, and beloved public pool at Dimond Park, this 3+BD/3BA home offers space, character, and lifestyle in equal measure. Built in 1912, the home welcomes you with a gracious veranda—perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon pause. Inside, a grand foyer introduces rich architectural details, including coved ceilings and a Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired leaded stained glass window that carries throughout the living and dining rooms. Period coffered ceilings, built-ins, and warm woodwork create a sense of timeless craftsmanship, while sunlight pours through the picture window in the living room, where a cozy Arts and Crafts fireplace anchors the space. Hardwood floors lead into the elegant dining room and into the heart of the home: a spacious kitchen and den with sliding glass doors to a deck overlooking the backyard. Whether dining al fresco, entertaining on the patio, or gardening and playing below, the indoor/outdoor flow is easy and inviting. The main level includes two bright bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath and another with access to a hall bath. Downstairs, the home expands dramatically with a full-height, partially finished basement featuring a one-bedroom suite, large bonus room (fourth bedroom potential), full bath, and second kitchen area ready for guests, extended family, or a potential ADU. Additional space includes a laundry area, workshop, and abundant room for creativity, hobbies, or storage. Solar electricity is already in place, and further updates include newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and a lush rear yard pond. With off-street parking and convenient access to Highways 13 and 580, commuting is simple. From your front door, enjoy Glenview’s vibrant neighborhood feel, stroll to Dimond Park’s trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, and pool, or spend weekends exploring one of Oakland’s most loved communities.
