About This Home
∎
Warm, inviting, and rich with timeless character, this 1930 Mediterranean is a home that feels special from the moment you arrive. Elevated above the street and surrounded by beautiful landscaping, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with natural light and expansive Bay views that unfold from the living and dining rooms, sitting room, and primary suite.
The gracious living room, with its coved ceiling and tiled gas fireplace, is both elegant and welcoming, flowing naturally into the dining room, and a charming beveled sitting room surrounded by windows, making it an inspiring spot to work from home. At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen, designed for the way people really live. Gorgeous stone countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, a California Closets-designed pantry, and exceptional counter space and storage make it as functional as it is beautiful. A breakfast bar doubles as a homework station, while the generous proportions leave plenty of room for friends and family to gather and cook together. The kitchen opens directly to a level deck, creating an effortless connection outdoors for morning coffee, grilling, alfresco dinners, and evenings with friends.
Two main-level bedrooms overlook the garden and share an updated bath. One offers an exceptionally large closet, while bonus closets throughout provide an enviable amount of storage. Tucked away on the lower level, the spacious primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, with Bay views, a generous walk-in closet, updated en-suite bath, built-in laundry, and a private entrance opening directly to the sun drenched garden.
Outside, discover lush green lawn, fruit trees, expansive planting areas, and two decked patios creating an exceptional outdoor sanctuary with wide open space to entertain, garden, and play. Succulent landscaping frames the entrance, giving the home wonderful curb appeal and a hint of what awaits beyond.
Thoughtful improvements—including central A/C, updated electrical, a newer furnace, water heater and roof, and extensive drainage work, bring modern comfort to this classic home. Just blocks away, the serene grounds and fabulous swimming pool at Mills College offer yet another place to unwind. Beautifully connected to its gardens, its views, and the people who gather within it, this is a home designed to be lived in and loved.

Nestled in-between High Street and 55th Avenue, just south of Interstate-580, Maxwell Park is a popular neighborhood in East Oakland. Originally developed by John P. Maxwell, many of the homes in Maxwell Park were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and when compared to real estate in North Oakland and Downtown Oakland, feature lower prices per square foot. Residents of Maxwell Park are within close proximity to Mills College, small shopping plazas, restaurants, and plenty of public transit options.
As the neighborhood name might suggest, Maxwell Park offers a small community park near Allendale Avenue and Lilac Street. Featuring plenty of trees, a playground, and is directly next to the Peter Pan Nursery School, which has provided a nurturing environment for kids aged 2-6 since 1947. Add in the convenient access to incredible schools like Melrose Leadership Academy, and you can see why families love living in Maxwell Park.
MacArthur Blvd., between Loma Vista and High Street, is just a few blocks from Maxwell Park, and features a variety of popular restaurants, retail stores, and service shops. Some of the notable restaurants include the World Ground Cafe, Fist of Flour Doughjo and Everett and Jones BBQ.
Commuters love Maxwell Park due to the easy access to the AC Transit Route 14, which provides a direct route to the Fruitvale BART station. The bus ride to Fruitvale Station is less than 15 minutes from Maxwell Park, and from here, commuting to the heart of Oakland, or be in San Francisco’s Financial District in less than 30 minutes.
