Life at the Top of Lincoln Highlands

Welcome to 2609 Charleston St., a warm and inviting Lincoln Highlands home where classic charm meets everyday comfort and exciting possibilities. This level-in single story retreat features hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace that sets the tone for relaxed evenings and easy living. The updated kitchen and bath offer a thoughtful blend of style and function, while both bedrooms enjoy peaceful outlooks and glimpses of the bay and city lights. Step onto the back deck and soak in the scenery--an ideal spot for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, or sunset gatherings with friends. Downstairs, an unfinished, partially above-ground basement with private entrance offers exciting potential to create an additional living space, a home office, studio, or guest space. Earthquake retrofitting adds and extra layer of confidence and care. Set in the heart of Lincoln Highlands, this home places you minutes from the trails and open space of Joaquin Miller Regional Park, as well as the vibrant dining and shopping scenes of the Dimond and Laurel districts. A special opportunity to settle into a neighborhood you'll love, with room to dream, grow, and make it your own.

Neighborhood

Oakmore emerged from a visionary development in the early 20th century, its name a literal interpretation of the neighborhood's defining characteristic—an abundance of oak trees that create a natural canopy across the landscape. Originally part of a carefully planned residential expansion, the area was developed by real estate pioneers who recognized the unique potential of Oakland's hillside terrain.

Montclair Village serves as the primary commercial hub, offering a robust collection of local eateries, boutique shops, and essential services along Mountain Boulevard and La Salle Avenue. This commercial corridor provides residents with convenient access to everything from daily necessities to specialty dining experiences.

The neighborhood's architectural landscape tells a compelling story of Oakland's residential development. Homes dating from the 1920s and 1930s feature a mix of architectural styles, including Tudor Revival, Mediterranean, and Craftsman designs that create a visually distinctive residential environment. Proximity to Shepherd Canyon Park provides residents with direct access to extensive hiking trails and open spaces, transforming everyday living into an opportunity for outdoor exploration.

What distinguishes Oakmore is its remarkable balance of urban convenience and natural preservation. Bounded by major parks and featuring carefully maintained residential streets, the neighborhood represents a distinctive living experience that captures the best of Oakland's hillside communities. From panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay to direct access to local amenities, Oakmore offers residents a residential environment that combines architectural heritage, natural beauty, and strategic urban positioning.
