About this single-family home
Built in 1907/1908 by noted Bay Area architects Sidney and Noble Newsom of the firm Newsom & Newsom, this Craftsman cottage sits above the street and looks out over the treetops. Featured on the 2007 Oakland Heritage Alliance Walking Tour, it has been lovingly restored to preserve its original timeless appeal. The enclosed garden that surrounds the house is lovely and full of wonderful surprises. A big shingled front porch creates a nice welcome. Inside, the traditional Craftsman details are immediately apparent - beamed ceilings, a big klinker brick fireplace and fabulous built-in window seats in the bump-out bay window with pretty vistas. The dining room has high wainscoting and a picture rail, and the updated kitchen is both charming and functional. The bedrooms are ample sized with views of the lush gardens. A convenient laundry area is found just inside the back door, doubling as a mud room. Centrally located in San Antonio Park, close to restaurants, Lake Merritt and the freeway.
