The story
Nestled between two of Oakland’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this updated stand-alone haven offers the privacy, warmth, and quietude of a single-family home. Positioned within a gated community, this residence combines open-concept architectural design with modern efficiency and an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Head right outside your front door and arrive just a few blocks to the vibrant Rockridge business district on College Avenue, or venture down to Temescal for renowned dining, boutique shopping, and convenient transit options. Inside, an open, loft-like great room features soaring high ceilings and broad windows that flood the home with an abundance of natural light throughout the day. For effortless evening comfort, Bluetooth-controlled automated window coverings provide full blackout privacy at the touch of a button. The main living space flows seamlessly into a fully remodeled chef’s kitchen, beautifully appointed with high-end, soft-close wooden cabinetry and modern appliances. The home offers two full bathrooms, including a meticulously expanded and redesigned downstairs bath outfitted with contemporary, stylish finishes. Further enhancing everyday efficiency and comfort, the residence includes an updated full-sized washer and dryer on the second story as well as a tankless water heater. Transitioning outside, the main living and dining spaces open directly to both a side patio and a private backyard retreat. Framed by lush greenery and drought-resistant plants, the yard offers ample space to entertain guests or unwind under the stars. Tucked among the garden vines sits a beautiful natural wood shed, providing the ideal quiet sanctuary for a home office, creative studio, or private retreat. Complete with three gated parking spots (including a one-car garage)—a truly rare amenity in this neighborhood—this property delivers the perfect blend of modern comfort and urban convenience.
