Description

An 1885 Victorian, Ready for Its Next Act 

Built in 1885, this Pill Hill Victorian with a little love is excited to take center stage once again. Mature elms frame the façade, and the warm glow of the stained-glass front door and bay window welcomes you in. Inside, tall ceilings and generous doorways lead from a gracious entry to a sun-filled living room wrapped in original trim and molding. At the back of the house, the kitchen opens through large glass French doors to a deck and the garden beyond, a natural spot for morning coffee and long summer dinners.

The home offers 4 bedrooms** and 1.5 baths**: three bedrooms and a half bath upstairs, plus a bedroom, laundry, and a full bath with beadboard wainscoting downstairs. A large basement adds plentiful storage, and the front and back gardens are ready for someone to bring them back to life. With approx. 2,188 sq. ft.* on a 4,290 sq. ft.* lot, this is a rare chance to restore a true Oakland original and make it your own.

Step outside and you're in one of Oakland's most walkable pockets. Uptown's restaurants and the Fox and Paramount theaters, Lake Merritt, Mosswood Park, and Whole Foods are all within about a mile, and both 19th St. and MacArthur BART are an easy walk or bike ride away.

Oakland

One of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the country. Renowned for its artistic and cultural richness.

Welcome to Oakland!

Oakland is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the country. Renowned for its artistic and cultural richness, thriving dining scene, and leadership in environmental sustainability, it’s a highly desirable place to live, attracting people from all over the world.
 
Located just 20 minutes from San Francisco, in the geographical center of the Bay Area, Oakland enjoys a warmer climate than its West Bay neighbor. Its landscape includes vast parkland with towering redwood trees, babbling creeks and miles of hiking trails, as well as Lake Merritt, a large tidal lagoon that connects to a beautiful waterfront.
 
In such a large and ethnically diverse city, where 400,000-plus residents speak more than 120 languages, there is no shortage of cultural amenities to draw your attention. The city’s world-class attractions include an internationally acclaimed museum, ballet, symphony and zoo; two grand, Art Deco-style performance venues; and the A’s major-league baseball team. Every first Friday of the month, throngs of people flock to the city’s hugely popular art walk, Art Murmur, and accompanying street party, First Friday. Oakland is also home to a large LGBT community and, in recent years, has attracted an influx of tech companies, helping usher in a wave of new restaurants, bars and boutiques.
 
The city’s neighborhoods are as diverse as its population, with charm and uniqueness permeating every corner. Oakland real estate spans the gamut, from the restored Craftsman bungalows of Rockridge to the stately Tudors of Crocker Highlands and the colorful Victorians and lofts of West Oakland, offering something for everyone.
 
Transportation-wise, Oakland residents have plentiful options, with an international airport, major freeways, bus lines, BART, bike lanes and a free downtown shuttle. To make it even easier to get around, the city expanded its bike- and car-sharing options in 2017.
