This bright sunbeam of a home sits on a welcoming block where neighbors walk together or with their pups, and stop to chat with one another. This home is a blend of freshly updated features and historical charm, such as parquet entry and softwood stair treads and upstairs flooring, a glorious bowed living room window wall, high ceilings and a grand, renovated kitchen inviting family and friends to gather. The private primary suite has a newly renovated en suite bathroom. A dedicated laundry and mud room are set at the back of the lower floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one of which has a wide window seat, and a full bathroom. The back yard patio welcomes outdoor entertaining while allowing ample additional space for the creation of your garden sanctuary. The front yard is low maintenance rock-scape. Leave it as is or transform it into a lush garden or possibly an off-street parking space (subject to City approvals). Enjoy the easy access to downtown Oakland including the Paramount, restaurants, Art Murmur, other great businesses and arts and culture venues. Quick access to the Bay Bridge and downtown SF, Jack London Sq, BART, and you're 2 blocks from a freeway network with quick connections to every other part of the Bay Area.
