Oakland's best kept secret! Perched above a one-way Blvd. across the street from Oak Glen Park, sits a freshly updated 3 bd 2.5 bath Craftsman. Nestled among greenery and old growth trees, this home has a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Just steps away from Piedmont Ave, you'll be close to trendy restaurants, shops, Pill Hill, Kaiser, Alta Bates Summit, Sprouts Grocery, and public transportation galore. Enchanting Lake Merritt, with its famous farmers market, is just a short jaunt away. A perfect blend of modern updates and classical architecture, the newly remodeled kitchen seamlessly connects to the sun-filled dining and living rooms featuring original built-ins, cove ceilings and classic moldings. Up a few steps, with a great separation of space, lie 2 private bedrooms, an updated full bath and adjacent hall bath. The flexible downstairs, with two private entrances and an interior staircase that can connect to the upstairs, can be used as an au-pair, ADU or home office. This renovated space is equipped with a full kitchen, full-size bedroom, living room, full bath, and its own dedicated washer/dryer. Many practical upgrades have been put into this home such as newer foundation, updated electrical, copper plumbing, newer retaining walls, sub-drainage and more!!!
