This rare level-in Colonial-style home in Crocker Highlands was completely rebuilt with permits seven years ago. It features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a family room, and abundant deck-space that communes with an outstanding yard. The owner reconstructed this traditional home with a new foundation, much new framing, new electrical, plumbing and heating, new hardwood flooring, new drywall, even a new stucco exterior. The fully modern gourmet kitchen opens to a formal dining room on one side, and the grand entry on the other side. The light-filled living room with fireplace opens to the same deck as the dining room. Upstairs, the home has an expansive master suite with a large walk-in closet and a luxury bathroom. Two other bedrooms share a full bathroom. In addition, a full laundry facility is located upstairs. Downstairs from the main level, the house has a third full bathroom adjacent to a family room, which adjoins the fourth bedroom. This space, which has a second kitchen (unpermitted) and a second laundry, features a separate entrance, making it ideal for guests or an au pair. The family room opens to a lower deck, and both decks connect to the large yard - with a lawn, a large brick patio, and abundant plantings. The Crocker Highlands is one of the most highly sought-after neighborhoods in Oakland, with its charmingly preserved tree-lined streets of traditional homes, old-fashioned light posts, and undergrounded utilities on many of the streets. In 1917, the Lakeshore Homes Association was formed and started grading this area based on the design of the Olmsted brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park in New York City. This house is well situated for an easy commute to San Francisco, or a walk down to the Lakeshore Avenue shops and farmer’s market. - See more at: http://www.865rosemount.com
