758 61st Street

This summer’s finest home, a beautifully remodeled and stately craftsman in Oakland’s coveted Bushrod neighborhood. In 2021, the sellers embarked on an extensive renovation to return this home into a single family layout after it had lived a chapter of its life as a duplex. With the careful guidance of an established architect, the home was transformed with beautiful high ceilings, a remodeled kitchen, and ideal layout. The formal foyer opens to a sunny living room that flows naturally into an expansive dining room with original built-in cabinets. The sellers renovated the kitchen with entertaining in mind! In addition to one bedroom nearest to the garden, the main level offers a family room, full bathroom, and mudroom with ample storage. Up the elegant stairs are three grand bedrooms, a full bathroom, and conveniently located laundry. Through french doors in the primary bedroom, find a sunny deck overlooking the backyard and bringing the outdoors in. Last but not least, is the garden. The garden! A world away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and to-do lists. With exterior storage, a cheery play structure, and established landscaping, the level backyard at 758 61st is both easy to maintain and a gardener’s dream. Smart updates include a heat pump, seismic retrofit, upgraded electrical main panel + EV charger-ready, tankless water heater, and new windows throughout.
