About this single-family home
Set in the heart of Oakland’s coveted Grand Lake/Rose Garden neighborhood, this regal Brown Shingle is a rare blend of classic Craftsman-era charm and modern living, with thoughtful improvements throughout. Restored from the ground up in 2015, prior owners addressed many major systems (foundation, roof, kitchen, baths, and more) so you don’t have to. The floor plan is a standout. Three bedrooms and two full baths are all on one level upstairs, including a spacious primary suite, an uncommon set up to find. The main level offers seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, with large wood-clad sliding doors opening directly to an expansive deck ideal for entertaining. The oversized lot is a true showpiece, well designed, terraced, and highly functional. Fruit trees and raised veggie beds are a gardener’s delight, while the lower levels offer room to dine, relax, and play, all while taking in views of Grand and Lakeshore Avenues. A detached cottage adds flexibility for a home office, gym, or possible in-law setup. The lower level includes a full bath and large basement ideal for storage, workshop space, or potential development. The location couldn’t be better, close to Grand, Lakeshore, and Piedmont Avenues with their bustling commercial districts, or take a stroll around quintessential Lake Merritt. And don’t forget the crown jewel of the neighborhood, the Morcom Rose Garden, located at the bottom of Jean Street and considered one of the grandest city rose gardens in the country. This property is a rare find not to be missed.
