On a street where Julia Morgan once built...

Steps from Oak Park & above Oak Glen Park's Glen Echo Creek...
Built circa 1929 as a grand single family home, this character-filled Triplex offers vintage architectural features in 2 units and a stylish modern vibe in the 3rd. The largest of the 3 units is spread across 2 levels of the structure with a graciously sized living room & light-filled kitchen on its entry level and 3 well-appointed bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms upstairs. The living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom are all graced by expansive windows exhibiting impressively wooded neighborhood views. All 3 bedrooms are outfitted with myriad built-ins while the living room below has bookshelves & an exceptional fireplace with marble surround & carved mantle. Also on the main level, accessed via the original front porch entry and mahogany-paneled entryway, is a peaceful 1 bedroom retreat.  One of 2 vintage tiled bathrooms is located here and, like its larger neighbor, enjoys the lofty ceiling heights of the period. Finally, the lower level 1 bedroom hideaway overlooks the shared, oversized ~950 square feet of sun-drenched deck & verdant garden space below. Like its larger upstairs neighbor, this unit benefits from views of the surrounding neighborhood beloved for its ancient live oak trees that grace 2 well-utilized parks, one with a creek gurgling through. This is the unit with the more modern finishes, yet it still invokes an established sense of space. Piedmont Avenue's hip shops, divine eateries (one with a Michelin star!), and quality conveniences (check out Piedmont Grocery's butcher department and delicacies throughout!) are just blocks away while proximity to the GrandLake District, Lake Merritt, and the Uptown dining & entertainment district is a huge added plus! The property itself has been importantly updated during the current seller's ownership: 3 remodeled kitchens, 2 remodeled bathrooms, major foundation reinforcement, roof replacement, deck installation, concrete driveway replacement, and much more!

Neighborhood

Just blocks from 3271 Kempton Avenue lies Piedmont Avenue, a lively shopping destination. Shops on Piedmont Avenue range from the trendy to the traditional. Eateries with sidewalk dining and a plethora of boutiques line the Avenue. Neighborhood stalwart Fenton's Creamery has been doing business on Piedmont Avenue for more than 50 years, offering its famous ice cream and burgers, among other sweet and savory treats.  Dining choices range from cuisines from around the globe to Michelin-starred Commis. The Piedmont Theatre, the oldest movie house operating in Oakland, offers first-run and independent films.  The Avenue stretches a mile from Broadway in the south to Mountain View Cemetery on its northern end, a parklike, 226 acre oasis surrounded by residential neighborhoods.  Come by for a visit.  The views are breath-taking!
