Overview

Immensely charming cottage on hidden cul-de-sac in West Oakland, just two blocks from BART. Located along a tree-lined street of Victorians, this lovingly renovated home (over 20 years) offers a unique condo-alternative in a vibrant community. Interior features include gorgeous wood floors and unified finishes throughout. The open kitchen and living area define the main space centered by a spacious island and tasteful pendant lighting. The front bedroom features plenty of light and an accent wall of reclaimed wood. Living room storage blends seamlessly into the neutral color space along with newer appliances including a gas range. An intriguing adjoining room, the "atelier", formerly the second bedroom, now features laundry and dressing area with tall wardrobe cabinets. A perfect space as it is, for office/studio, or it can easily be made into a second bedroom again. A full bathroom features a shower/tub enclosure, tiled floors and pedestal sink. From the kitchen, French doors open to a serene sanctuary in the back. A grove of potted bamboo and sunshades make the brick patio, made from the original chimney, feel like a natural extension of the home. Nearby are a dog park, several cafes and restaurants, climbing gym, co-op grocery and a farmers market each Sunday.
