5 Bedroom 2 Bath Home + 2 Bedroom 1 Bath Legal ADU!

This home is the Grande Dame of Oakland. At an impressive 2917 sq ft, with gleaming wood floors, pillars, enclosed porches and sunrooms, it is nothing short of stunning. Built in 1912, it is situated on a 5500 sq ft lot that it shares with a separate 2 bed/1 bath 451 sq ft ADU that was built in 2021. Classic and modern Oakland all on one lot!

The main home is three levels with 5 bedrooms and 2.25 bathrooms. Upon entering the classic brick steps enclosed with stately columns, you are greeted with gleaming wood floors, high ceilings and a large, open foyer. The first level has an impressive living area with a fireplace, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen. The kitchen boasts two butler’s pantries. There is a Viking range, perfect for the seasoned or budding chef! The laundry room on the main level has a quarter bath for convenience. The laundry room also has a back door that leads to the spacious, fenced in yard.

Like the rest of the home, the 5 bedrooms have been tastefully updated with fresh paint and light fixtures. There is a full bathroom on the second level and one on the third level. The bathrooms remain classic with tile. The primary bedroom boasts a walk in closet. The third level has been newly carpeted, creating a cozy feel in the spacious home.

There are three light filled sunrooms throughout the home–plenty of nooks to work or relax in, in the Oakland sunshine! There is a partial basement with plenty of space for storage. The freshly landscaped front and back yards are surrounded by a new fence.

Whereas the main home is expansive and harkens back to the glory days of 19th Century Oakland, the ADU is a modern edgy space that celebrates urbanity. The permitted 2 bedroom 1 bathroom ADU was added in 2021. It has a sleek gray and white color palette throughout and an open concept kitchen living area. The ADU has all of the modern conveniences, including a full kitchen and washer/dryer, making it a separate living space from the main home. With it’s private, gated yard and sun deck—it feels like a private enclave.
