About 3754 Enos Avenue
Storybook cottage tucked into Oakland’s Upper Laurel neighborhood
Welcome to 3754 Enos Avenue, a storybook cottage tucked into Oakland’s Upper Laurel neighborhood, where charm, creativity, and a touch of magic come together. Often described as a “country house in the city,” this home offers warmth, character, and thoughtful updates.
Privately situated at the end of the street and surrounded by mature trees, the approach feels like stepping into a hidden retreat. Lush, curated landscaping, recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, surrounds the home, creating a true secret garden setting filled with texture, color, and life.
Inside, vaulted redwood ceilings in the living room create an airy yet intimate space, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The kitchen blends vintage charm with modern updates, featuring new countertops, backsplash, and refrigerator, along with a show stopping vintage O’Keefe & Merritt stove, both a functional centerpiece and a design statement. Custom flooring by renowned designer Laurie Crogan adds an artistic touch and flows seamlessly into the sunlit breakfast room, which connects conveniently to the laundry area.
A loft above the living room offers a flexible space perfect for a meditation area, guest room or creative retreat, while built-in storage beneath the stairs adds everyday functionality.
The updated bathroom is efficiently designed and beautifully refreshed, complete with a soaking tub, updated fixtures, tile work, and a new medicine cabinet. The bedroom is a peaceful escape, complete with French doors that open to a refinished redwood deck, perfect for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day.
Beyond the main home, a detached one-car garage includes an attached bonus room ideal for a guest space, office, gym or artist’s studio, offering flexible living options.
The backyard continues the home’s enchanting atmosphere with fruit trees, layered plantings that transform with each season, and a sense of tranquility that feels worlds away from the city. With new interior and exterior paint, dual-pane windows, and beautifully refinished original oak floors, this one-of-a-kind cottage is both timeless and move-in ready. A rare blend of whimsy, artistry, and privacy, this is a home that truly feels like its own little world.
