A jewel box in Oakland’s Dimond District awaits in this charming 2+BR/1BA Craftsman bungalow. Surrounded by mature Mediterranean landscaping, ascend the front steps to the welcoming porch of this 1129 SQFT home (including the vaulted artist/work studio crafted from the detached garage). Light streams into the living room from a large picture window with a mullioned Arts & Crafts design. The room’s cozy fireplace is flanked with built-in shelving and cabinets. Gorgeous hardwood floors span the home and into the kitchen with its built-in glass cabinets and separate dining area. A laundry room with cabinetry is off the kitchen as well. The two sunny bedrooms have roomy closets and share an updated full bathroom.
Through the backdoor, the spacious raised brick patio area is an oasis from the busy city where you can entertain your friends or drink a peaceful morning coffee on your own. With a sliding glass door onto the patio and multiple large windows, the home’s refurbished garage is ready for use as an office, artist’s studio, or potential renovation to an income generating unit? A dedicated parking space awaits off the shared courtyard and a shaded side yard provides a private, canopied outdoor space for enjoyment. Nearby, enjoy the best of the Dimond District’s shopping and dining, plus nearby Dimond Park’s tennis and basketball courts, swimming pool, playgrounds, and Dimond Canyon Trail for running or walking the dog along Sausal Creek. This home truly is a gem!
