3214 Stuart St, Oakland, CA 94602

Set at the top of a hill, this winsome 1910 cottage has a charming street presence and is full of cozy details inside. Behind a wrought iron fence, the front yard is accented with bougainvillea, maple and magnolia. Square pavers lead up to a glassed-enclosed porch, which works as a sunny foyer. It's a lovely, quiet spot to sit and enjoy the garden. Inside, the open floor plan makes the most of the space. The living room has light from tall windows and warm hardwood floors leading into the dining area. A large full bathroom is off the living room. Though in the back, the kitchen is the heart of this home. Granite graces the counters and island. White cabinets with glass doors create a traditional look; a stainless steel sink and matching appliances make it feel modern. Best of all, the window over the sink frames a lovely view of the Oakland hills. Spend the day enjoying the delights of Oakland's neighborhoods, and come home to savor the view of twinkling lights in the hills.
