New Listing: Almost A Totally Rebuilt Home Classic Single Story Craftsman Bungalow
“Very Walkable” according to WalkScore. This home scored 82 out of 100. Sell the cars – Ride BART and get a couple bikes! o This home is located in a rapidly changing North Oakland Neighborhood and is close to the Temescal District with all of its Shops and many Fine Restaurants, including the Sunday Farmers’ Market, BakeSale Bettys, Freeways, Emeryville, Berkeley, Downtown Oakland, the new bike friendly Actual Café, and Sweet Adeline Bakeshop. Of course the regulars still eat up the block at Lois the Pie Queen!
This home fits like a glove - there is no wasted space, at all. You will enjoy the open floor plan. You are greeted by a cozy front porch where you can mindlessly watch the world go by. The combined living, dining room and kitchen form the perfect “Great Room”. The cook will enjoy the brand new designer kitchen with luxurious Quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, farm style sink and the brand new stainless steel appliances. The home office/ hang-out space behind the kitchen is drenched in sunlight. Once you open the French doors to the back deck, you can really appreciate the beauty of indoor/outdoor living. The same goes for the master bedroom; it also has French doors to the deck and a private door to the bathroom. The bathroom is brand new and has custom tile work on the floor and tub walls. Not your ordinary Home Depot tile job! You will enjoy a soak in the tub as you relax and take-in your new bathroom. The double faucet sink gives 2 people the space to brush and groom with some extra elbow room. The laundry room is tucked away in the hallway and the front bedroom is perfect for guests, or ?? The backyard, deck and bonus room are really exciting.
The space is surrounded by a very hip custom fence and is very private. It’s drenched in sunlight from its southern exposure. There is a reclaimed brick patio and room for a couple of raised beds. The deck off the home office and master bedroom is just the right size for a cozy dinner party, a place to soak in some rays, or a hang-out to read and relax.
Okay now onto the garage and bonus room. Can you say “totally flexible space?” With the oversized garage you can actually get a car into it. With the attached bonus room (approx. 10ft X 20ft,) you can do almost anything. There is a space heater, doubling the uses; home office, studio space, guest quarters, bike shop. Maybe you have a home business or how about using it as a true “Media Cave” with a take no prisoners sound system and monster screen TV? The home is basically rebuilt from the foundation to the roof. EBMUD has certified the new sewer. Check out the “seller list of improvements” at the house, and online. The work was carefully completed by a veteran crew and will well serve you in the next decades.
