Property Description

Sited on a lush lot on a prime Rockridge block, handsome 2-story Craftsman features recent enhancements and improvements that merge seamlessly with original vintage character. Inviting front porch overlooks tree-lined street. Glass pocket doors open to sun-washed living room, tiled fireplace & stained glass windows. Floorplan flows easily from living room to formal dining room to wide, open kitchen and hall bath. Airy bedroom has French doors that frame rear gardens. Upstairs: Two bedrooms, full bath and spacious family room (or 4th BR) with tree-top views. Renovated kitchenette and adjacent dining room pose multiple options for creative living & entertaining. Level-out access to picturesque deck connects to peaceful gardens. Tucked into the backyard, a bonus detached garden cottage with bath offers a tantalizing array of uses: Office, workout room, play space, guest retreat, etc. Legend has it that this was rented to a UC student in the 80s, who paid handsomely to live in such an idyllic setting. Tranquil, composed backyard features custom brick patio and large deck for lounging and happy hour'ing. Beloved Rockridge amenities—dining, cafes, local shops & BART— are just steps from your door, for unbeatable living in one of Oakland’s most coveted neighborhoods.
