Originally built in 1923 and expanded in the 1960's, this expansive 6 bed/3 bath home is an eclectic blend of eras and tasteful modern updates. Gleaming hardwood floors, freshly painted walls and new light fixtures grace every room and show off the abundance of brilliant natural light. The main floor bathroom underwent a gorgeous remodel and the kitchen has been nicely refreshed with new quartz countertops, newly painted cabinets, and stylish plumbing fixtures.
A further addition was added sometime later, and was affectionately known as "the party room", giving mom a 2nd kitchen from which to cook her legendary feasts. Endless possibiilities for the next owner with this prime space, which opens to the expansive back yard and offers a spacious great room, 4th full bath and bonus bedroom/office. Imagine your ideal in-law or au-pair suite, or simply having an epic place for entertaining or the perfect teenage hangout haven.
The sunny backyard offers patios for dining, lounging and magical play. Delightful gardening awaits in the 3 veggie beds and multiple fruit trees, but a wide plot was left as a clean blank slate, cute and ready whenever creativity strikes to “weekend warrior” your new vision.
Just one block from prized Cleveland Elementary and minutes to Lake Merritt and all the wonderful restaurants, amenities and fab farmers market in the Grand, Lakeshore area. Recreation and exercise abound with the beautiful lake and cherished Cleveland Cascades as your playground. This is truly a gem you don’t want to miss!

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Cleveland Heights, also known as Haddon Hill, is located at the northwestern corner of the San Antonio district, perched on a hill overlooking Lake Merritt.The neighborhood is home to the Haddon Hill Stairs and various large, luxurious houses including the Kaiser House. It was formerly the township of Brooklyn prior to its annexation by Oakland in 1909. The neighborhood is commonly known as the area encompassed by Lakeshore Avenue on Lake Merritt, East 18th Street, Park Boulevard, and MacArthur Boulevard/I-580 MacArthur Freeway, and is home to Cleveland Elementary School, and one of Oakland's favorite stairs, the Cleveland Cascade. Popular restaurants like Rockin Crawfish, Pho Anh Dao, and Leaning Tower are just a short stroll away.
The residential Lakeshore-Upper Grand neighborhood, cultivated by famed landscape architects Olmsted Brothers, is a sculpted terrain of winding streets following the natural contours of the land. 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, but enjoys delightful commerce in the Lakeshore and Grand Avenue dining and shopping districts. Notable culinary assets, like Arizmendi Bakery, Shakewell, Lin Jia Asian Kitchen, and a bustling farmers market every Saturday, draw foodies from all over the Bay Area.
Lake Merritt offers tremendous views and outdoor recreation. A true Oakland Gem
