Recently revitalized, this 1911 period home intermixes an alluring vintage sensibility with a fresh renovation. Immaculate throughout, its totally transformed kitchen and bath equip the home for contemporary living and integrate seamlessly with preserved elements, including hardwood floors and coved ceilings. Level lawn and gardens, plus an inviting back patio, extend the radiant living space.This North Oakland residential pocket is surrounded by vibrant areas brimming with desirable and essential everyday destinations. Within wonderfully close proximity, Temescal and Rockridge districts, plus neighboring Berkeley and Emeryville, represent a short drive. Each offers a unique array of dining, shopping, recreation, and much more. When venturing farther, highway access lies conveniently nearby, and Ashby and Rockridge BART stations present two distinct rail routes within a similarly short distance.Forming a striking entryway, a covered porch anchored by pillars projects from the side of the home and frames the entry. Wide, gracefully curved openings to the living room, dining room, and kitchen fluidly connect the three expansive rooms, creating an open effect and easy interaction between public spaces. The dine-in kitchen conveys a contemporary take on vintage style. Its airy open framework includes a breakfast niche and showcases a combination of brand-new surfaces with classic flavor. A center island creates a setting for seating, serving, prep, and storage beneath. An adjacent opening leads out to the secluded patio and garden, ideally sited for al fresco dining. Three bedrooms are served by a spacious, refined full bathroom, which, like the kitchen, displays a nod to vintage style. White subway tile combines with gray-veined marble, and a double-sink vanity supplies broad counter and storage space. Offering storage capacity of a larger order, the basement also presents expansion potential.
