A tranquil retreat awaits inside this updated 1908 Craftsman, meticulously cared for by its owners. It seamlessly integrates old world charm with modern updates and design. The original hardwood floors, large windows, pocket doors, and dining room built-ins coexist alongside an updated kitchen with a Viking range & Fischer-Paykel refrigerator, and tastefully updated baths. French doors lead you to your backyard oasis with an expansive deck for entertaining, a patio made of bricks repurposed from the home's original fireplace, an intricately laid flagstone path, a newly installed wood fence, a grassy area, and a garden of trees including lemon, pomegranate, water gum, yew pine, and arbutus. The garage has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious studio with exposed beams and skylights creating an ideal space for an office, creative space, play room, gym, or guest room. Immerse yourself in the N.Oakland community with a walk to the Farmers Market, stroll to Dover Park, breakfast at Lois the Pie Queen, a slice at Nick's, restaurants and shops in Temescal, and groceries from Berkeley Bowl or Whole Foods. Proximity to BART, highways, and main commuting routes to downtown, Berkeley, and SF. This home embodies Oakland charm and captures the true essence of California living.
