Welcome Home

Welcome to 4748 Tompkins Avenue in Oakland’s Laurel Heights neighborhood. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, two-story mid-century home offers 2,312 square feet of versatile, thoughtfully designed living space. With an updated kitchen, a beautiful backyard oasis, and a location in a quiet, friendly neighborhood close to open space, this home truly has it all.
