Oakmore

Nestled in the coveted and charming Oakmore neighborhood, this refreshed Spanish craftsman effortlessly combines laidback cool and 1936 vintage architectural features for a timeless edge. 


A welcoming front yard, with a springtime flowering magnolia tree, introduces the charm of an original concrete paver path, fresh plantings, new lawn and fresh, contemporary exterior paint. Spread over two stories, the layout provides ample space for comfortable living and entertaining. Original hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout the home. The front living room is a fusion of original details: a vaulted ceiling with a rare wrought iron truss detail, brick gas fireplace, and an oversized picture window that floods the space with natural light. Opening from the living room is a unique step-down dining room featuring wrought iron railing and designer West Elm chandelier. The kitchen has been revitalized with stainless steel appliances, a chef’s range and hood, freshly painted cabinets, new countertops, new fridge and updated lighting. A cozy breakfast nook with a built-in cabinet and shelf overlooks the front yard.


Upstairs features two bedrooms, including the primary, which is appointed with dual closets and French doors leading to a Rapunzel-style balcony overlooking the spacious backyard. The remodeled hall bath features character-rich tile, a tub-and-shower combo, pedestal sink, and a convenient linen cabinet with countertop.

Comprising the lower level is a large bonus room with hardwood flooring and paneled walls providing views and access to the backyard as well as a separate entrance for flexibility. An additional large bedroom or flexible room off this space with garage and yard access sits next to the second full bathroom with a walk-in shower -- perfect for short or long term visitors.


A large backyard is an outdoor retreat with a fresh lawn, patio, and a charming chair swing as the focal point – the perfect place to relax and breath in the fresh air and catch a glimpse of a hummingbird or two.


This rare and exceptional home offers the perfect blend of 1930’s charm, California cool and community. Complementing all of these attributes is this home’s peaceful and idyllic setting in Oakmore right along the Oakland/Piedmont border -- an area known for historic homes, quaint tree-lined streets, steps to convenient shops/restaurants and strong neighborhood connections.

I am also a parent of 3 small children, and so have gone through the exercise of selecting a pre-school, and elementary schools for my children and am happy to offer any in-sights I can. This is by no means a comprehensive list....but as a resident of the neighborhood some of the things I have come to know and enjoy about living here that people may not be aware of. I invite questions and feedback to hear of other things that may be out there....so please feel free to ask and comment.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about this great neighborhood.
