3351 Arizona St, Oakland, CA 94602

Sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac and hidden behind a fence is a lovely oasis home that offers many flexible plus spaces to support your creative life. If you crave nature but need to live near the bustle, area on a budget but need lots of extra space, you'll want to see 3351 Arizona Street. Historically, this was a bodega with a charming two bedroom, one bath living area above. Accessed at 1,642 square feet, the house lives much larger now thanks to several bonus areas that provide flexibility, privacy and great separation of space for working at home or guest visits. Upstairs includes a large and sunny updated kitchen with separate dining room, living room with fireplace andlibrary/reading room. There's a special sun room off the kitchen that provides sunset views. A stairway off the sun room takes you downstairs to a large bonus room that can serve as a third bedroom or great studio space with picture window to the garden. Over the years, the historic storefront space downstairs, which is separate from the main house, has evolved and its uses have included home office, teen room, non-conforming guest quarters, writers salon and more. The lush wrap-around yard is quiet and private with several mature fruit trees (apple, meyer lemon, lime, plum, and a young persimmon), Cecil Brunner roses, mature oaks, yet still has plenty of room for your green thumb. An ample hot tub under the canopy of oak trees beckons you at the end of the day. There are two decks, one upper, one lower, so you can relax in the tree tops or tucked in to the heart of the yard. The generous driveway provides off-street parking for two cars side by side, and there is a large separate laundry/storage area under the high deck.
