The sunny kitchen blends style and function with stone countertops, stainless appliances, and tile flooring. A half bath and laundry room on the main level enhance the home’s comfort and flow. Freshly refinished wood floors extend through the main living areas and bedrooms, adding warmth and continuity throughout.

Pros & Cons

Unique Architectural Charm: This Craftsman-style residence, once a carriage house, retains its rich architectural character with thoughtful updates, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a striking fireplace, offering a distinctive and appealing aesthetic.
Modernized Interior Features: The home boasts a sunny kitchen with stone countertops and stainless appliances, freshly refinished wood floors, a spacious full bath with a separate shower and deep soaking tub, and a convenient main-level half bath and laundry room.
Private Outdoor Oasis & Versatile Studio: Tucked behind a private gate, the property features a lush garden sanctuary framed by mature trees and flowering shrubs, complemented by a charming detached studio and generous storage, enhancing outdoor living and functional space.
Strong Value Proposition: The current list price of $709,000 is 13% below the estimated property value of $803,752, suggesting potential for immediate equity or a highly competitive purchase.
Desirable Location & Accessibility: Situated in Oakland’s vibrant Oak Tree neighborhood, the property offers excellent proximity to BART and Lake Merritt, providing convenient access to transportation and local amenities.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: Built in 1927, while updated, older homes can present ongoing maintenance needs for original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or structural components that may not have been fully modernized.
Limited Bedroom Count for Square Footage: With 1994 square feet, the property offers only 2 bedrooms, which might be restrictive for larger families or buyers requiring more dedicated rooms within the main house, despite the presence of a detached studio.
Inconsistent Local School Ratings: While some nearby schools have high ratings, several elementary and middle schools in the immediate vicinity show lower performance ratings, which could be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
