5005 Clarke St, Oakland, CA 94609

This charming Victorian bungalow located in the heart of Temescal has been meticulously restored to its classic elegance with original hardwood floors, coved ceilings, bay windows, built-ins, decorative trim, and period detailing throughout. The newly renovated kitchen and bath now feature upscale amenities from granite countertops, designer cabinets and stainless steel appliances to freestanding vanity, glass vessel sink and alcove spa tub. The restoration has created an authentic Victorian atmosphere from the pocket door to the gas fireplace insert that, like 100 years ago, heats the house while producing a warm glow from its flickering flames. There is also a private, landscaped yard and a sunny deck located directly off the kitchen that is perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is even a huge, 603 sq. ft. partially finished basement that increases the house's usable space to 1,569 sq. ft. and offers the opportunity for adding your own personal extras like a game room, yoga space, art workshop, and storage room. Beyond the restoration, everything has been repaired and upgraded for modern convenience including the wiring and light fixtures, tile floors and shower walls, as well as a new roof and fixed sewer line. Why settle for a generic condo when you can have an affordable free standing Victorian cottage in Temescal?
