The story
At 594 Kenmore, architecture and atmosphere converge in a thoughtfully reimagined Lakeshore residence by Lucy Wang Architecture. Defined by clean lines, natural materials, and a quietly sophisticated palette, the home balances architectural precision with an inviting sense of warmth. Here, every detail is considered, every material thoughtfully selected, and the result is a cohesive vision of modern living grounded in a sense of calm. Enter to find bespoke cabinetry, thoughtfully curated spaces, and threads of natural light woven throughout. The kitchen anchors the home with white oak cabinetry, a Fireclay tile backsplash, and an expansive island designed for gathering. Engineered plank flooring establishes a continuous visual rhythm, while a south-facing orientation draws natural light deep into the interiors, enhancing the warmth and clarity of the material palette. The eat-in kitchen, complete with a welcoming dining space, opens seamlessly to the rear yard, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living, equally suited to everyday rituals and effortless entertaining. Beyond, built-in cement benches and planters create a sculptural outdoor gathering space, offering a natural extension of the home’s architecture and a peaceful setting for quiet mornings, long conversations, and evenings outdoors. On the main level, the third bedroom offers exceptional flexibility as a home office or guest retreat, complete with a separate entrance. An adjacent wet bar and dedicated laundry area add thoughtful utility and everyday convenience. On the mezzanine, two bedrooms and two chic bathrooms offer a sense of privacy and retreat, including a custom, spa-like primary suite with direct access to the rear yard. Throughout, bespoke detailing and a cohesive architectural language create a sense of ease that feels both contemporary and enduring. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a one-car garage, 594 Kenmore offers a compelling balance of design, livability, and location just moments from the cafés, shops, and neighborhood energy that define Lakeshore. A modern Oakland residence thoughtfully composed and beautifully resolved.
