403 Perkins St, Oakland, CA 94610

A uniquely private duplex, with completely separate entrances for each unit. The main unit is an extraordinarily open and spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with in-laid hardwood flooring. Built as a classic brown shingle craftsman in 1907, no expense was spared for its 1951 rebirth as a mid-century modern masterpiece. Luxurious features for the time that are still appreciated today include a fabulous wet bar, large rooms, walk-in closets, spacious baths, and yes, even an elevator! The two fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom, bring warmth and focus to expansive rooms. The gourmet kitchen with granite counters and separate breakfast nook was modernized with an eye for timeless elegance, demanding chefs, and busy families. This home flows beautifully for entertaining as well as for day-to-day living. The two-car garage, traditionally utilized by the main unit, encloses a large peaceful brick courtyard shaded by magnificent mature trees. The second unit is a one-bedroom, one-bath legal unit with separate electric. Well-maintained, bright, and open, it is popular with tenants and has always attracted premium rents immediately upon turnover. The Adams Point neighborhood is located adjacent to Lake Merritt, with an easy stroll to the hip retail and dining destinations of Grand Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard. It also enjoys close proximity to downtown Oakland, and a quick and easy commute to San Francisco. This is truly a great walking area and community, in district for the high-performing Lincoln Elementary School.
