Glenview, Oakland
Proudly situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in the heart of Oakland's Glenview district, this charming sun filled Craftsman will steal your heart the moment you arrive. A wide front staircase draws you up to a generous porch with room to settle in—morning coffee, evening conversations with neighbors, or simply a quiet moment to take in the tree-lined street and lovely hill views beyond.
The windowed entry welcomes you inside, where original architectural details and natural light set the tone for every room that follows. The spacious living room is anchored by an original artisan tiled fireplace, now fitted with an electric insert, and flanked by classic built-in shelves. It is a room with real soul—plenty of space to gather with guests yet so cozy it calls you to curl up and get lost in your latest read.
The dining room awaits for future memories to be made around festive meals and lively conversations around holiday gatherings. From here, the kitchen continues the easy rhythm of daily life. Beautifully updated with new hardwood floors, quartz countertops, a new gas cooktop and vent hood, and generous counter space, it is a room designed for both serious cooking and casual, everyday dining at the eat-in table.
Two well appointed bedrooms on the second floor offer sunny views over colorful gardens and share the cheerful hall bath featuring heated floors and a striking red vanity—a playful detail that brings a smile every morning.
On the lower level, right off the kitchen, is a versatile bonus room paired with a spa inspired full bath. This is the kind of flexible space that adapts to your life as it changes. Perfect for a home office when you need quiet focus, a TV room for movie nights, or a comfortable spot to house overnight guests with the privacy of their own en-suite bath. For college kids returning home for a stint, or for anyone who simply needs separation between the rhythm of the day and the retreat of the evening, this room delivers.
Step out to the newly designed patio oasis to enjoy your morning coffee or meals on one of our many warm spring and summer nights. This petite spot is mighty for entertaining—low maintenance landscaping surrounds you, and the corner lot offers a spacious front yard with room to fence in for extra play space.
The garage offers interior access, a stackable laundry set, and plenty of storage with shelving on two walls and a separate storage closet.
Living in Glenview means having wonderful eateries and cafes on Park just one block away—Paulista, Marzano, and Blackberry Bistro among them—and being just a short jaunt to Lakeshore Avenue for even more, including Bardot, Arizmendi, Obelisk, and True. Commuters enjoy AC Transit stops one block away, casual carpool access, and the V line Transbay bus straight to the Salesforce Transit Center. Quick and easy routes to both Highway 13 and 580 keep everything within reach. And for families, this home enjoys access to prized Glenview Elementary.
