Oakland, CA 94605

Located on the border of Oakland's vibrant Maxwell Park neighborhood, this nicely updated, single-level Craftsman bungalow is ideal for first-time home buyers, a homeowner wishing to downsize, or those seeking to enter the highly competitive Bay Area/East Bay real estate market. Boasting a wonderfully preserved Craftsman exterior, the interior has been tastefully re-imagined for a contemporary lifestyle and features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open living room/dining room/kitchen, and a flexible-use bonus space off the kitchen that conveniently incorporates main-level laundry. Original details include a brick and stone fireplace (now decorative) and vintage oak floors. The updated kitchen features quartz counters, white subway tiles and newer appliances. Dual-pane windows and new bedroom carpeting, plus a large deck off the kitchen. The spacious backyard has a newer shed, raised redwood planter boxes and a flagstone patio. Off-street tandem parking. Very sweet!
