If you’ve been looking for real space in the Bay, this property delivers it in a way most homes simply can’t. Fully rebuilt from the studs and thoughtfully redesigned, this oversized duplex offers two bright, modern homes under one roof. The upper level features a generous 8-bedroom, 3-bath layout, while the lower level provides 5 bedrooms and 2 baths—ideal for multi-generational living, income potential, or creating the kind of flexibility you don’t often find. High ceilings and huge windows flood both levels with natural light, highlighting clean, contemporary finishes and wide-plank flooring throughout. The kitchens are designed for cooking and gathering, and the updated baths bring a calm, spa-inspired feel. All major systems—electrical, plumbing, and lighting—have been fully updated with quality and longevity in mind. Step outside to a shared, landscaped retreat that offers a quiet break from the city. And when you’re ready to plug back in, this West Oakland location sits right in the middle of a vibrant, historic community. Stroll to Prescott Market, feel the energy from the new Ballers’ field, and experience a neighborhood with deep roots and real momentum. A rare mix of size, style, and location—don’t miss your chance to see it in person.
