Overview

Bring your vision and restore the grandeur of this stately Victorian home. Rich with period charm and graceful street presence, this four-bedroom, two-bath residence is ready for its next chapter. A fenced front yard, long side driveway, and an expansive backyard provide outstanding potential, including room for an ADU, a garage, an urban farm, or all three. The owners had plans drawn up to turn this building into two units. Those blueprints can be conveyed with the sale if the buyer is interested. (This would be accomplished by adding 270 ft on the top floor.) Step inside to a spacious foyer. To the left is the inviting living room, which flows into a formal dining room. Beyond is the kitchen with an adjacent family room, creating a generous living space. The main level also includes a bedroom, a full bathroom, a large laundry room, and direct access to the backyard. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The front bedroom, the largest of the three, still contains the remnants of a former, unwarranted kitchen. This space offers an exciting opportunity to create a luxurious primary suite with an ensuite bathroom and an oversized walk-in closet. Located in Oakland just steps from the Emeryville border, this neighborhood is experiencing exciting revitalization, with investment and redevelopment visible throughout the surrounding blocks. For buyers looking to restore a classic Victorian while building equity, this is an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special.
