This gated three-bedroom Craftsman-influenced carriage house in the heart of Longfellow is far from ordinary. Curated over the last ten plus years with a forager’s eye, the home has evolved into a turnkey creative retreat featuring unique handcrafted details, responsibly salvaged objects, and thoughtfully repurposed materials. It’s an ideal setup as a workshop-home hybrid or an income-producing property with roommates in a prime location just minutes from MacArthur BART and the hubs of Emeryville and downtown Oakland.
The integrity of the materials is on full display as artisanal woods and open beams blend with industrial ironwork, unique built-ins, fun hidden nooks, and interesting spaces, such as a loft suite with a library-style ladder leading to an upper sleeping gallery with abundant storage.

The attached garage functions as a studio space equipped with its own bath, sink, cabinetry, and ample storage for a car, shop, or art projects. Upstairs, two generous bedroom suites feature hardwood floors and wood-trimmed windows, including one with a private balcony with sunset views.
