668 Jean St, Oakland, CA 94610

Rosy Rose Garden cottage! You might call Jean a Spanish Revival Mediterranean Craftsman, artfully combining several stylistic traditions with Spanish tiled portico and handsome parapet paired with divided-lite windows inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement. The special window pattern repeats throughout the house — a sweet architectural refrain! Built-in bookshelves flank the living room fireplace. Breakfast room with beautiful built-in. Nifty little fold-down telephone seat from back when every house had a land line. Sunny kitchen leads out to back patio. Hardwood floors. Great light. Beautiful vistas from the rooftops of Oakland and Piedmont to the hills. You might call Jean spiffy, with such lush surroundings from the gorgeous Japanese maple and salvias and succulents to the delightful stone pathway. Jean welcomes hummingbirds and monarchs, both regular visitors. Attached garage for parking, office, workshop. Plenty of storage. Expansion potential. Sidewalk & sewer compliant. Perfect location up the street from the enchanting Morcom Rose Garden. Just a couple of blocks from everybody’s favorite Zachary's pizza. Lake Merritt and all the shops on Grand and Lakeshore are within a mile. Stylish and sophisticated, yet comfortable and approachable, you might call Jean your new home.
