Price Reduced! Located in the Maxwell Park area of Oakland, this single level home just began its second century of life. And it's definitely a step back in time...to a simpler era, when building materials were crafted by artisans and installed by master carpenters. For starters, there are original hardwood floors throughout most of the home. The dining room has the 1920s written all over it, with a dramatic coffered ceiling, custom wall panels and a built-in buffet / dining hutch. The custom wood-framed picture windows add elegance and comfort to the living room, while the fireplace adds cozy winter-time warmth. The large open country kitchen is just off the dining room and features gas cooking. There's also an interior laundry & utility room on the opposite side of the kitchen. While most of the home retains its classic 1920s style and allure, the home has some modern conveniences, too, including central heat. There's also a long driveway on the left side of the house, with ample room to park several cars. And a portion of the former garage still stands at the end of the driveway, which, with a little extra work, could even serve as a handy carport for the time being.
