Just steps from the lively Piedmont Avenue shopping district, this elegant American Foursquare with Craftsman details offers a rare blend of timeless architecture and thoughtful updates. From its striking exterior to its warm, wood-filled interiors, every corner of this home radiates character and care. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, designed with both charm and functionality in mind. The living room invites gatherings around a stately fireplace and unique inlay wood floors, while the formal dining room glows with rich wood paneling, hardwood floors, and its own hearth. Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels like a private retreat, complete with a free-standing fireplace for cozy evenings.

Preserving the past while investing in the future, the owners have completed significant improvements over the last decade:

Added a new foundation
Installed a new roof
Dual zone heating for year-round comfort
Upgraded electrical system and removal of knob-and-tube wiring
Attic insulation for energy efficiency

In both the living room and primary bedroom you have handmade double-hung windows and restored leaded glass panels. Sunlight pours into the home, illuminating the original woodwork and hardwood floors that flow seamlessly. The kitchen offers a perfect balance of modern design and period charm, featuring quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances. Even the bathrooms delight with unique details, including a whimsical flamingo wallpaper accent that sparks joy.

The front porch sets the tone for this charming home, an intimate retreat where Craftsman details meet everyday comfort. Decorative trim and crisp siding highlight the home’s historic character. Perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations, the porch invites you to pause, relax, and take in the neighborhood. The landscaped front yard is framed by raised beds and vibrant flowers, creating instant curb appeal.

Step into a backyard that feels like your own private retreat. The lush garden beds overflow with vegetables, herbs, and flowers. There’s room to dine al fresco at the outdoor table, unwind in a cozy lounge chair, or simply enjoy the sunset sky as it shifts from pink to purple. Every corner of this yard has been designed for connection, whether with friends, with nature, or with a quiet moment of your own.

Beyond the doorstep, Piedmont Avenue’s boutiques, restaurants, and cafes are at your fingertips, offering the best of Oakland living in one of its most beloved neighborhoods.
