Craftsman, check! Charming, check! Location, check! Welcome to 528 Jean Street, an exceptional 1915 California Craftsman Bungalow perched in Oakland’s beloved Rose Garden neighborhood near the vibrant Grand-Lakeshore district and Piedmont Avenue. (With so much to explore nearby, your car may rarely leave the driveway!) This sweet shingled bungalow has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a bright bonus attic room for guests or office, 2(!) fireplaces in the living and dining rooms, and hardwood floors throughout. Everywhere you look you see a celebration of original craftsmanship: the rich wood used in ceiling details, the built-ins with leaded glass cabinet doors and the fireplace masonry. Meanwhile, the kitchen and bathroom have been seamlessly modernized with designer touches.

The bungalow’s entry is tucked into an inviting front porch overlooking the friendly neighborhood. Gorgeous wood details are the focus of the foyer, living room, and dining room. The elegant paneled dining room features a built-in buffet, a hallmark of Craftsman genius. In the kitchen, you’ll love the original cozy built-in breakfast nook, new stainless-steel appliances, quartz marblesque countertops, and crisp white cabinetry. The kitchen flows to a laundry room, which opens to the backyard.

This bungalow comes with BIG bonuses: An attic room paneled in bright white and featuring a built-in bed. A bountiful apple tree in the front yard (the current owners loved making applesauce each fall). A low-maintenance backyard with a fresh sod lawn, veggie beds, treehouse, and even a chicken coop! A detached garage converted into a large studio with tons of potential. And SO close to shops, dining, BART, farmer’s market, live music, a movie theater, I-580, and more!
