About this home

This distinctive Oakland tri-level combines vintage character with thoughtful modern updates, offering approximately 1,372 sq. ft. of finished living space plus the opportunity for a second living unit below, creating flexibility for an ADU, guest suite, or workspace—which, with the addition, could bring the home to a generous 2,235 sq. ft. Situated on a 3,080 sq. ft. lot in the vibrant East Bay, the home dates back to 1893 and retains its historic roots while showcasing improvements such as skylights, hardwood floors, new carpeting, updated lighting, and fresh paint. The primary living level (on the second floor) opens to a spacious front room with lofty ceilings and a dramatic bay window. An airy kitchen and dining area—both illuminated by skylights—feature granite counters, a full-height mosaic backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. This floor also includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and laundry with LG washer/dryer. Upstairs, a graceful banister leads to primary bedroom and additional bedroom/office filled with natural light, ideal for guests or a home office. The lower level offers a blank canvas for an ADU. Located in West Oakland, just five blocks from BART with easy freeway access. Large back yard. Floor plan in photos.

The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a full-height mosaic backsplash, and updated white cabinetry, all appearing virtually new. Throughout the home, there are new hardwood floors, new carpeting, fresh paint, and updated lighting, including skylights. The exterior is also well-maintained.

Pros & Cons

Pros

ADU Potential & Expansion: Significant opportunity to develop a second living unit on the lower level, potentially increasing total living space to 2,235 sq. ft. and offering income generation or multi-generational living.
Excellent Commuter Location: Strategically located in West Oakland, just five blocks from BART and with convenient freeway access, ideal for commuters.
Blended Historic & Modern Appeal: The 1893-built tri-level home beautifully combines distinctive vintage character (e.g., lofty ceilings, bay window) with thoughtful modern updates like skylights, hardwood floors, and fresh paint.
Updated Kitchen & Amenities: Features an airy kitchen with granite counters, mosaic backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and includes an LG washer/dryer, providing modern comfort and functionality.
Versatile Floor Plan: Offers a flexible tri-level layout with 5 bedrooms, including a dedicated primary suite and an additional bedroom/office, accommodating diverse living arrangements and needs.

Cons

Above Market Estimation: The listing price of $725,000 is approximately 9% higher than the property's estimated market value, potentially impacting buyer interest and negotiation leverage.
Subpar School Ratings: Most nearby public schools have lower ratings (2s and 3s), which may be a deterrent for buyers prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions.
Historic Property Maintenance: Despite modern updates, the 1893 construction date suggests potential for ongoing maintenance or future capital expenditures related to aging infrastructure and systems.
