84 Rio Vista Ave, Oakland, CA 94611

Can you imagine Oakland in 1900? The horse drawn buggies, the burgeoning city, the massive views of the hills and bay? That was the year 84 Rio Vista was constructed -- and the vintage charm is still intact. Box beam ceilings, built-ins, kitchen with butler-style nook for the sink, inlaid hardwood floors, fireplace, built-in bench to people-watch out the front window, and an adorable front parlor that could be converted to a second bathroom, office or nursery. Located in the sublime Piedmont Avenue district, you will be living in a prime neighborhood. This is a fixer, no public opens; you will need more than a hammer and a dream, but it will be spectacular.
