Jack Burley & Nancy Reichert Present
Exceptional Oakland Bungalow
$879,000
This classic Dimond District Bungalow will surprise you with all its extra 'bonus' spaces! The two bedroom, 1 bath home has wonderful craftsman details and many updated features. The split level layout creates a smart and livable floor plan, with great separation of spaces not easily found in a two bedroom home. Several 'bonus' areas also make this a flexible home for the next owner.
Entering the home from a deep covered porch leads to the large living and dining room combination on the main floor. There is a modern updated fireplace in the living room, and the dining room can host a large group! A bank of windows overlooks the front garden, and the craftsman built-in cabinets remain in the dining area. The thoughtfully remodeled kitchen has been updated with every attention to detail, featuring high quality finishes and newer appliances -- even a perfect spot for a coffee bar! There is a seemless flow from the kitchen to the dining room for effortless hosting, plus a separate 'nook' to work in or set up a smaller table for daily use.
The bedrooms and bath are located up the small split level stair--a multi level design that creates natural separation of spaces for living, entertaining, and private spaces. Each bedroom has abundant natural light, and looks out over the lush and mature rear garden.
The home has been maintained and substantially upgraded over the years, with newer double paned windows throughout, updated plumbing, seismic retrofitting, a sump pump and newer heating and air conditioning for those hot days!
Downstairs from the kitchen leads to an outdoor deck and pergola, perfect for barbecues and summer evening dinners. The garden was professionally designed and has grown in beautifully, offering privacy, gardening potential and wonderful areas to relax. The owners had designs drawn up for a separate ADU in the rear of the garden which they will pass to the next owner.
There are several useful 'bonus' spaces in this lower level which could be excellent work from home or play areas. There is interior access from the garage as well as additional accessible storage space below the house.
Located just down the street from Sequoia school, this tree lined street full of charming homes is close to many Laurel and Dimond district shops and transport.

Jack Burley
As a real estate agent specializing in Berkeley, Oakland, El Cerrito, and Albany, I bring a deep understanding of the Bay Area’s unique housing market. Growing up here and working in both construction and real estate has given me a hands-on perspective that most agents simply don’t have. With my background in bathroom and kitchen remodels, I’m able to help my clients see the potential in every property—not just what’s on the surface, but how it can truly fit their needs for both today and the future.
Working closely with tech professionals, I understand that your home is more than just a place to live—it's an investment in your lifestyle and future. I’m here to make the buying or selling process seamless, efficient, and tailored to your specific goals. Whether you’re looking for a space with modern conveniences, home-office potential, or a property that’s ready to be personalized, my expertise in construction and design adds another layer of value that sets me apart from the typical agent.
When I’m not helping my clients navigate the Bay Area real estate market, you can find me playing trombone in an orchestral band or working in the studio mixing and mastering for local artists. I also love spending time outdoors, especially after three years as a ski instructor in Bozeman, Montana.
I’m always looking to connect with tech professionals interested in making strategic real estate decisions. Let’s talk about how I can help you find your perfect space in the Bay Area or get the most value out of your current property. Feel free to reach out to me directly—I’d love to connect!

Your trusted advocate
I have a confession: After 25-plus years, I love my job more than ever, even as the Bay Area market has gone through dramatic changes. Maybe because of that, connecting each Client to the right property still holds my full attention and fascination. I work hard to match people and places by knowing both really well. I keep a level head, but keep in mind hopes and dreams.
I’m an upbeat and enthusiastic advocate for each of my many long term and repeat Clients. Your particular real estate challenge is what fuels me, and after decades of hands-on experience, I know how to get the job done. I’ve been told I’ve got intelligence and wit - so I will make sure you are informed and protected throughout your important transaction, striving to make the end-result a joyful occasion.
I’ve lived and raised my family in the East Bay since 1985, and have been involved in a multitude of local community activities -- schools, sports, charities and the arts. I love a good design or remodel project, and bring my knowledge to the table when my Clients evaluate properties. I pride myself on knowing our local market, from all sides, really well.
My background has set me up for success -- I attended UCLA and UC DAVIS, graduating with a degree in Economics. My many long-term friends have exposed me to (their) ART, WINE, MUSIC, TRAVEL, SCIENCE, and DESIGN...and my broad real estate clientele have done the same. I can’t believe how lucky I am to continue to make these wonderful connections who truly fuel my work.
Giving is important to me. I volunteer or donate to organizations related to Public Schools, housing and local food programs, local and overseas groups seeking to end human trafficking, climate action groups, Wounded Warrior Project and Medicins sans Frontiers.
During my downtime, I support as many varied, live, local performances as possible, and try to keep my own hand in performing too -- singing anything with a great groove! I love remodeling homes, practicing French, and listening to Korean hip hop. (Really). I’m also a movie nut, frequent traveller, and a super-fan of the English Premier League.
All these elements have made me a successful and award-winning Realtor® in the Berkeley - Oakland area since 1989. Please take a look at how I work and what others have said. I hope we can work together -- great good things will come from it!
