The story
In the bullseye of Rockridge, a reimagined Craftsman delivers magic, both indoors and out. The spectator front porch is just the 'hello'. It’s an uncommon pairing: The character of a Craftsman bungalow re-designed for today’s lifestyles, and the freedom of a breathlessly expansive outdoor sanctuary, in the core of Oakland’s most sought-after neighborhood. Rooted in the leafy heart of Rockridge, this invigorated bungalow elevates classic California living with a refined, contemporary point of view—and a healthy dose of luxe. Thoughtfully renewed, the home fuses Arts and Crafts details with modern ease and top-tier finishes. Public rooms are open and airy, and the line between indoors and out feels wonderfully fluid. Then the backyard reveals itself, and everything stops for a moment.... Stretching far beyond the home, this enormous expanse is a Rockridge rarity—a private landscape with the scale and spirit of a neighborhood park. It is a hushed world, both spacious and intimate, where garden beds flourish and afternoons dissolve into golden evenings on the lawn. There’s room to roam, to gather, to dream up something entirely your own. This is a lush retreat that transforms the way the home lives, bringing the outdoors into everyday life and delivering the unexpected: Redefined living with spirit and soul, a respite from the hustle and bustle, a rare development opportunity, a dream. Oak Grove Avenue is the pearl of Rockridge, and the neighborhood is your oyster with its independent shops, elevated dining, local-spirt cafés, tree-canopied streets, and nearby parks and transit. With a Walkscore® of 96, you can roll or stroll to virtually everything and everywhere, savoring the pleasures of life without a car.
