About
As one of the very first homes built in the neighborhood, this 1910 Crocker Highlands Brown Shingle sits high on the hill on a large, flat lot with a commanding view of downtown Oakland and the San Francisco Bay.
This stately home boasts enviable formal spaces, beginning with a striking entryway and central staircase. To one side is a formal dining room with large picture windows and wood-burning fireplace. To the other is a formal living room, a thoughtfully-renovated gourmet kitchen, family room, and breakfast room. A laundry room and half-bath round out the first level.
The second level features a well-appointed master suite with renovated marble bathroom, a well-organized walk-in closet, and a private deck. Three additional bedrooms fill out this floor, each with their own distinct characteristics, as well as a large full bathroom. Up another flight of stairs sits a spacious finished attic bonus space that is perfect for guests or to keep play spaces contained and out of the way.
The expansive and sunny south-facing backyard features a large, easily-accessible deck off of the the kitchen, a flat grassy area, lounge spaces, and a secluded play area, all nestled amongst manicured gardens.
Best of all is this home’s close proximity to the burgeoning restaurant scene and vibrant shops of the Grand Lake district just a few blocks away. Dine in style at Shakewell, Penrose, Boot & Shoe, or Camino, shop for farm-fresh produce and artisanal cheese at the Saturday farmer’s market, or take in a movie at the historic Grand Lake Theater.
