Amazingly this home has survived for over one hundred years, this Turn-of-the-Century Victorian has graced this location in Oakland for that long. It has just undergone an extensive renovation that makes it ready for the next one hundred years. It features 2 spacious bedrooms and one “Period” style bathroom. The entire home features tall ceilings and extra tall windows that flood this home with light. The Victorian charm is there but not too much to become overbearing as with some homes of this vintage. The formal living and dining rooms allow for a nice flow and have interesting detailing still intact. The brand new eat-in kitchen is a dream and features new custom cabinets complete with a distinctive crown molding. The stone countertops and new stainless steel appliances make for a great kitchen for any cook. The kitchen leads to a beautifully landscaped backyard. The brand new bathroom features a tiled floor and “Subway” tiles shower over a relaxing tub. Again high ceilings and great natural light make even the bathroom special. The home is complete with designer colors, new light fixtures, wood floors, and plenty of storage. The backyard is really an amazing space with room for a patio, a big lawn area, and a fruit tree garden. In a few short years your garden can deliver baskets of the best “local” fruit ever. You will spend endless hours playing and gardening in your new backyard. The lower floor has a one-car parking garage with a garage door opener and plenty of room for extra storage or a work shop. This home features too many new and updated systems to mention here, but be sure to see the entire offering in the disclosures. Again your new home is ready for you and the next one hundred years! Neighborhood Description West Oakland is one of the most historically important regions of the city, and continues to be one of the most eclectic and interesting parts of town. Situated between Downtown Oakland and the Bay Bridge, West Oakland has been the center of Oakland’s industry for more than a century, serving the nation via rail cars and the world through its port. Through much of the 1900’s, much of the city’s power and culture rested in the West Oakland region, but everything changed with the construction of the Cypress Freeway, which essentially cut the neighborhood off from the rest of the city. During this time, the Black Panther movement came out of the neighborhood. After the freeway’s destruction in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the closing of the Oakland Army Base, West Oakland began a path of redevelopment that continue to this day. Filled with many condos and warehouse lofts, West Oakland also has pockets of historic Victorians that would amaze you. Many well known businesses have made West Oakland home, from the Lonely Planet line of travel books to world-renowned Blue Bottle Coffee, which many people wrongly assume is a San Francisco phenomenon. Local businesses thrive as well, such as the Linden Street Brewery and Brown Sugar Kitchen, which serves up one of the best brunches in the bay area. Artists and creative folks of all stripes have been attracted to the open possibilities of West Oakland. The Crucible is a star of the arts and crafts world for its groundbreaking work with metal and glass. Get in shape like they do in the circus at Trapeze Arts. Or catch a concert or art show at the Black New World club. And amateur and professional photographers alike can snap stellar shots of the bay at Portview Park, way out on the water, offering views you cannot get anywhere else.
