About this property

Adorable, unpretentious Victorian, going strong since 1900, with a retrofitted foundation, strong frame, young roof, modern heating, & copper plumbing. Airy 10' tall ceilings with 7' tall windows in the original house. House is raised above the street for privacy. Massive 22' x 12' great room is perfect for entertaining or hummingbird watching. The bathroom and kitchen were both added to the original structure and are larger than what one would expect from a 120-year-old house. The bathroom has a claw-foot-tub perfect for lounging and relaxing on cold nights and a separate shower. Excellent proximity to two BART stations, transportation, schools and shopping. Highly walkable and bikeable neighborhood with access to Berkeley, Emeryville and North Oakland. Secluded, secure backyard shaded by mature jacaranda and lemon trees and a dog park down the street. Abundant storage in the basement and garage. Bonus room that could be a laundry or guest room, is not included in the square footage

Seller's review

Best Realtor EVER!!!

Kevin Wilson is, quite simply, a fantastic realtor and human being. He helped us buy our first house in the very tight Oakland housing market 5 years ago, and his knowledge of the construction of old houses was invaluable as we navigated the great bidding wars of that tight seller's market. His ability to build relationships with other realtors was such an asset, as well. He helped us sell that same house for a massive profit just a few weeks ago, right as the Bay Area went into shelter-in-place-what a remarkable feat! Few realtors would been able to guide us through either of those complexities, certainly not with the life-changing successes that Kevin made possible for us. In the 5 years between the purchase and sale of our house, Kevin also helped us frequently, giving advice about the foundation issues we needed to address, recommending skilled trades people to hire at reasonable prices, and really listening to our complex needs as we thought about whether we should sell. To prepare our house for sale required a ton of restoration and refinishing- Kevin worked alongside us tirelessly and with constant positivity. He is extremely knowledgable, honest, generous, humble guy who goes far over and above for his clients. My husband and I trust Kevin Wilson completely and have come to think of him as a true friend. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
