Set on a quiet tree-lined block in Oakland's neighborly Upper Dimond, this 1923 Craftsman bungalow has been updated w/ care for its bones & connected outdoor spaces. 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a detached bonus cottage off the large garage & multiple outdoor areas give the property more range than its footprint suggests. The floor plan opens w/ a spacious entryway large enough for a sitting area or mudroom. The living room is anchored by a stone fireplace w/ beamed ceilings & recessed lighting. A central dining room connects the living area to the kitchen & opens to a tranquil Trex deck via sliding glass doors, creating a nice indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen has been tastefully updated w/ designer green cabinetry, new quartz countertops/backsplash, floating shelves, a new gas range w/ hood & new stainless steel appliances. A 2nd slider in the kitchen opens directly to the expansive brick patio & yard. Craftsman details remain throughout, including refinished wood floors, tall baseboards, picture railing & stained glass windows in the stairwell & 2nd floor. The main level includes a bedroom featuring a hexagon tray ceiling & glass door hardware for character, plus two closets. Upstairs, a second bedroom opens to a private balcony & includes a large mirrored closet. A full main bath downstairs features a pedestal sink, a shower-over-tub & slate tile with lots of storage. A 2nd bath off the kitchen includes a walk-in tiled shower & is easily accessible to the detached cottage & brick patio. An interior laundry room w/ side-by-side W/D & sink, along w/ exterior access to the rear yard, completes the home. Outside, in addition to the expansive brick patio & deck, the professionally designed yard is dotted with mature citrus, Japanese maples, a fig tree, pittosporum privacy plantings & succulents all on drip irrigation & multiple storage sheds. A long flat driveway accommodates multiple cars. Infrastructure updates include copper plumbing to most places, electrical wiring updates & a new roof on both the main house & detached garage / cottage. A 1-car detached garage has an attached finished flex space, with new laminate flooring & closets & could function as a third bedroom, studio, or office. Enjoy a communal setting that draws people outdoors. Minutes from Oakland’s famed Joaquin Miller Park & a quick jaunt to local favorites like Loard’s Ice Cream, Ghost Town Brewing, Sequoia Diner, Jo's Market & upcoming Cafe Santana. Convenient 580/13 freeway access.
