Own an Oakland Gem
Upper Dimond's tree-lined blocks have a reputation among Oakland buyers who know the neighborhood: flat streets, organized block parties and neighborhood gatherings, neighbors who know each other by name, and kids on bikes and playing after school. This expanded 1920s Spanish Bungalow sits on one of the better ones, offering an irreplaceable sense of place that feels both quiet and connected. It is a location that naturally draws people outside, all while remaining a short distance from local favorites like Loard’s Ice Cream, Ghost Town Brewing, and the upcoming Cafe Santana.
From the front yard’s mature oak tree to the peekaboo views of the Bay, the home draws you inside a space where historic charm remains largely untouched. Original architectural details like refinished hardwood floors, tile fireplace with glass front built in cabinet, built in desk and rounded wood-trim doors and windows preserve the 1920s spirit throughout. The living room is anchored by a tiled fireplace flanked by a pair of arched window niches, a signature Spanish Revival detail complemented by a glass-front cabinetry, a built-in desk and a wide picture window that pulls in the tree canopy. This flows into a dedicated dining room and a recently updated kitchen. Designed for gathering, the kitchen has been outfitted with tile flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a built-in bench for a breakfast table, a pantry, a farmhouse sink, recessed lighting, and a tile backsplash.
The two-story addition transformed the home's original footprint, bringing a family room on the main level and expanding the total bedroom count to four. Adjacent to the kitchen, the sunken family room offers high ceilings, built-in shelving and cabinets, and refinished bamboo flooring. French doors open to the back deck, connecting the interior to the expansive yard. Upstairs, the addition delivers two bedrooms — a primary with good closet space and Bay views, and a smaller room suited for a bedroom or office — sharing a hall bath with a shower over a tub. The main floor also holds two bedrooms and a newly remodeled guest bath with designer tile, new vanity, updated lighting, and new plumbing fixtures.
A stone staircase off the entry leads to the lower level: laundry room with utility sink, a flex room for rumpus, office, or gym use, and a large storage and utility area with access to the yard.
The backyard is generous and well set up for outdoor living. A deck off the family room flows down to a flexible detached building with covered patio, and a flagstone patio for al fresco dining or relaxed evening entertaining. Beyond, a level lawn stretches out with fig, orange, apricot, lemon, persimmon and a mature Redwood tree. Fresh professionally designed landscaping with irrigation complete the space.
Extensive modern updates ensure this home is turnkey, including a new furnace, copper plumbing throughout, 200-amp electrical service, romex wiring, double-pane wood-grain windows, fresh designer paint, and new lighting throughout. With such a generously sized lot, there is significant potential to build a future ADU, ideal for adding a detached home office, studio, or private guest suite or even rental income without feeling cramped.
Jordan Park, Laurel, Dimond, Glenview, and Montclair are all nearby. Freeway 580 and Highway 13 are easily accessible, with Oakland Hills trails closer than they look.
