~ The importance of place ~
The importance of place. You feel that when you enter into the timeless charm of this regal Craftsman, nestled in the heart of Oakland’s beloved Grand Lake neighborhood. This endearing 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath offers a seamless blend of historic allure and charming updates. Conveniently located in a vibrant community, this home is a fantastic gathering place that sweetly welcomes you with true comfort and a sense of belonging day after day.
Refurbished hardwood floors guide you through spaces graced with sunlight and garden views. Craftsman details charm and delight as you pass through the French doors to the living room with stained glass built-ins. You can imagine mornings at your drop-down writing desk, afternoons with a favorite book plucked from bespoke bookshelves, or selecting your cherished pieces from the built-in buffet as you anticipate hosting your next dinner party.
The kitchen and bath have been updated (2024) to match the charm of this grand home including new quartz countertops, a stainless steel range, hood, and deep sink with a workstation ledge. New fixtures and finishes throughout add to the bright and airy spaces. All 3 bedrooms are located upstairs and detailed with crown molding, new sconces, and are bright and welcoming - each room offering its unique personality, connected in a circular flowing floor plan.
The backyard garden is your very own Eden — a sweet retreat designed to please the senses. Offering diverse fragrances with varieties of roses from antique to modern, interspersed with fresh rosemary, flowering jasmine, and an abundance of pluckable Eureka lemons. The blissful backyard is framed by mature trees that give the perfect shade and sun for basking as you please. Dine al fresco among the palm, pine, and maple trees on the newly landscaped terrace or relax in the shaded social garden surrounded by the scent of roses in bloom, a perfect retreat for leisurely afternoons and star-lit gatherings.
Enjoy the vibrancy of the Grand Lake neighborhood where shopping, dining, and coffee shops are just moments away. Fill your bookshelves with classics from nearby Walden Pond Bookstore, treat yourself to popcorn and a movie at the historic Grand Lake Theater, or engage in daily exercise around the 3.4-mile “Jewel of Oakland” and America’s oldest wildlife refuge, Lake Merritt, as the sailboats, gondolas, and pelicans supplement your views. You are truly at the center of it all! Rose Garden, Piedmont Ave, Grand Lake, Lakeshore, Adams Point, Lake Merritt, Rockridge, Uptown, and Temescal neighborhoods + for convenient shopping, restaurants, bars, bakeries, parks, movies + more. Nearby transportation and freeways add convenience to get to San Francisco and beyond!!
This Craftsman beauty is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, waiting to embrace you.

about
~ GRAND LAKE ~
∎
The residential Grand Lake neighborhood, cultivated by famed landscape architects Olmsted Brothers, is a sculpted terrain of winding streets following the land's natural contours. Homes date back to the 1920s and ‘30s, some designed by notable Bay Area architects like Julia Morgan, Maybeck & White, and Charles McCall. Today, the neighborhood retains its period flavor, with romantic homes in the Craftsman, Italian Renaissance, Tudor, Spanish, Monterey, French provincial, and Colonial styles.
Grand Lake is close to the Lakeshore and Grand Avenue shopping districts. Restaurant Favs like GrandLake Kitchen, Almond & Oak, Shakewell, and Bardo Lounge & Supper Club are just some of the "Grand" nights out you have in store! There is also, Arizmendi Bakery, Peet's Coffee, and soon-to-open Philz Coffee where you can enjoy the best of the best in coffee and sweet/savory treats!
For outdoor enthusiasts, there are neverending adventures, classes, and groups offering activities around the lake (biking, skating, dancing, step classes, the famous Doughnut Runners, group, and lake sailing & skulling)! Pick up fresh produce and more at the weekly Farmer's Market at Splashpad Park or head out for a hike and the many regional parks where gorgeous trails are just moments away.
