The best things really do come in small packages.
Some homes are just houses. This one has a point of view.
Completely revamped with two things in mind — function and design — this charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow delivers personality from the moment you walk in. And we mean the moment you walk in. The dining room's bold, statement wallpaper stops you in your tracks — playful, warm, and utterly full of life. It's the kind of design choice that tells you immediately: this is not your average home. Natural light pours through every room, dancing across beautiful wood floors that run throughout, and the open-concept layout lets the living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow together effortlessly. Every corner has been considered. Every detail has been intentional.
The living room? Sunshine and space. Room to breathe, room to gather, room to just be. Whether you're hosting a crowd or curled up on the couch on a Sunday morning, this home rises to the occasion every single time.
At the heart of it all is an updated kitchen anchored by a generous island — the kind you immediately picture yourself at. Morning coffee before the day starts. Weeknight dinners with something good on the speaker. A glass of wine with friends that turns into two. The kitchen doesn't just function beautifully — it feels good to be in. The dining area sits perfectly at the end of the open layout, positioned with purpose so you can flow straight out to the yard and enjoy that seamless indoor-outdoor California living you've been dreaming about. And yes — that wallpaper.
Both bedrooms offer room to grow, each thoughtfully designed and full of natural light. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet that actually earns the title — no squeezing, no compromising. The two bathrooms deserve their own moment. Beautifully designed, carefully considered, and proof that everyday function and elevated design can absolutely coexist. The newly created primary ensuite is a true retreat — a space that feels more spa than starter home. You'll want to linger.
Out back, the detached bonus space is a work-from-home dream: quiet, separate, and entirely yours. A proper office with real separation from the rest of your life — no dining table setups, no background noise from the living room. Just focus, privacy, and your own space to do your best work. And when the workday is done? Transform it into a home gym, a movie room, a creative studio — whatever you need it to be. This home gives you options, and that's a rare thing.
Step outside to a sweet yard and covered deck that immediately feels like your new favorite place on earth. Morning coffee out here hits different. Evening gatherings under the covered deck with string lights and good company– Even better. The yard is private, manageable, and just the right size for enjoying without it becoming a second job.
And the tree-lined street? Simply the cherry on top of an already exceptional package.
The Location: A+
Tucked into the foothills of Oakland, Laurel is one of the Bay Area's best-kept secrets — and those who know, know. A tight-knit, walkable neighborhood with a vibrant main street, beloved local restaurants, independent shops, and a genuine sense of community that's increasingly hard to find. Hike, bike, eat, drink, and connect — it's all right here. Transit access makes getting around the Bay a breeze, and the neighborhood's character and charm make coming home the best part of the day. This is the kind of neighborhood people move into and never want to leave — and once you've walked these streets, you'll understand completely why.
