1315 E 32nd St, Oakland, CA 94602

This 1924 California bungalow is lovely from every angle. Its handsome navy exterior sets off the Craftsman-era architectural details, the Mediterranean tiles on the front steps, and the clean landscaping of the front yard. The living room has a tiled fireplace with built-in shelves on either side. The three windows bring in lots of light, and the oak floors and arched entry are elegant period details. The dining room has a large window for afternoon sun, and a traditional Craftsman built-in sideboard of cabinets and drawers. The kitchen is warm and efficient, with lots of light. As a fabulous bonus, there is a flexible guest/office/laundry room off the kitchen. Down the hall, two bedrooms, both with great light and nice-sized closets, are on either side of a vintage-style bathroom, and a linen closet in the hall offers extra storage. Outside, the tree-filled, private backyard has ample room for play and a large patio which is perfect for entertaining and dining alfresco.
