Refreshed 1920s California Bungalow Charm w/ An Incredible Sprawling Yard
Charm-filled and move-in-ready, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath California Bungalow is the ultimate find in Oakland’s hidden gem Upper Dimond neighborhood, balancing original 1920s character with thoughtful modern updates on an incredible, expansive quarter acre lot. The floor plan captures exactly how we want to live now: fluid, open, and effortlessly connected to the outdoors. The kitchen and dining areas spill naturally onto a massive rear deck, which serves as the gateway to a spacious, tree-lined private backyard made rare by its generous flared double- wide lot.
The home's bones are intact: trayed ceilings in the living and dining rooms, a tile fireplace, refinished hardwood and softwood floors, and original lighting throughout. A mix of dual-pane and original windows matches the character of the house.
Thoughtful updates have breathed new life into the home: updated wiring throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a professionally designed front yard with irrigation.
The kitchen has been reimagined with a nod to its California Bungalow roots, blending the original built-in hutch and designer-painted cabinetry with fresh seamless soapstone countertops, new appliances, and a classic tile backsplash. The bath has been similarly refreshed, featuring new tile, a clean vanity with marble top, and classic wainscoting that feels right at home.
Open living and dining lead through the kitchen and sitting room, where a light-filled breakfast nook with dual French doors opens onto a large deck that overlooks a spacious, mostly flat backyard ringed by mature trees and anchored by a dreamy arbor draped in wisteria. For those who want to live and entertain outdoors, this yard makes it effortless.
The main level holds two bedrooms and the updated bath. The third bedroom sits above the attached garage with dual closets and its own view corridor: peekaboo Bay and treetop views. With a small bath addition, this level becomes a private primary suite entirely separate from the rest of the home.
Well-equipped throughout, the home features a laundry room off the kitchen with a side-by-side washer and dryer set up and its own door to the outside, an attached garage, attic storage, insulated ceilings, forced air heat, and premium window coverings.
Neighborhood staples like Farmer Joes, Peets Coffee, LaFarine, as well as Dimond Park are steps away and brimming with life from multiple playgrounds, tennis courts, a pool and picnic tables. Glenview and Montclair are an easy jaunt. Freeway 580 and Highway 13 make the Bay Area readily accessible, and the hiking trails of the Oakland Hills begin closer than you'd expect within minutes. A restored California Bungalow on a lot this size, in a friendly and convenient neighborhood, is a jewel that doesn’t often come along.
