The story
Reimagined for modern living with an eye on sustainability on one of Upper Dimond’s most cherished and neighborly tree-lined streets, this 3BD/1BA storybook Tudor with detached cottage is a true creative sanctuary. The main home artfully mixes original 1920s classic details like hardwood floors, crown molding, and a living room centered on a stone fireplace with modern elements. Curated designer lighting includes a Nelson bubble lamp, an authentic vintage European milk glass pendant, and modern FLOS fixtures. A new Bertazzoni appointed kitchen features new cabinetry, solid quartz counters, a chartreuse scalloped tile backsplash, breakfast bar and a French door that connects to an outdoor dining deck overlooking a sunny garden with level lawn, raised vegetable beds, a lemon tree, and mature shade trees. The detached cottage with a kitchenette and bath serves as a great art studio, guest suite, or home office. Upgraded systems include central AC, dual-pane windows, copper plumbing, Romex wiring, a tankless water heater and indoor laundry with stacked energy efficient Miele W/D. Thoughtful sustainability measures are woven throughout, highlighted by a professionally installed front garden of drought-tolerant California natives. Enjoy turnkey ease in a vibrant, hidden-gem Oakland community near Joaquin Miller Park, Loard’s Ice Cream, Ghost Town Brewing, Sequoia Diner, Jo's Modern Thai, Bombera, Grand Lake Kitchen, Farmer Joe’s Market, and Cafe Santana, with convenient 580/13 freeway access. This one efficiently and stylishly checks all the boxes!
