About This Home
Welcome to 1338 Bates Avenue, a beautifully updated Oakland home where timeless Craftsman character, thoughtful upgrades, and modern features come together to create something truly special.
From the street, lush, mature landscaping makes a memorable first impression. Japanese maples with rich burgundy foliage, colorful flowering plants, and abundant greenery frame the staircase leading to the home. Freshly painted in a sophisticated gray with crisp white trim, the home’s classic architecture is complemented by an inviting covered front porch overlooking the neighborhood’s distinctive homes and canopy of mature trees. A cheerful red Craftsman-style front door provides the perfect splash of color.
Sunny Upscale Living - Step inside to a welcoming foyer and sun-filled living room, where windows on two walls bring in abundant natural light. A decorative fireplace, freshly painted, serves as the room’s centerpiece, while beautiful hardwood floors add warmth and character. The adjoining dining room offers an elegant setting for both intimate family dinners and lively gatherings, with an expansive picture window framing views of the front porch and colorful gardens.
The beautifully remodeled eat-in kitchen is a delightful blend of contemporary sophistication and playful design. Sleek stone countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and a white penny-tile backsplash create a clean, modern foundation, while a striking botanical-patterned accent wall adds personality and visual interest. A six-burner GE Monogram range and oven takes center stage, complemented by a GE Monogram dishwasher and stainless-steel refrigerator. Modern lighting, generous cabinetry, and a charming built-in breakfast nook with wraparound bench seating make this a space that’s as functional as it is inviting—perfect for morning coffee, casual meals, and conversation.
Two nice bedrooms occupy opposite sides of the main level, with a stunningly remodeled bathroom between them. This space is a design standout, featuring rich emerald-green subway tiles, a dramatic black-and-white tile floor, soaking tub, and elegant brass-toned fixtures. A warm wooden vanity with a stone countertop completes the look, creating a bathroom that feels sophisticated and fresh.
Lower-Level Versatility - Downstairs, the lower level offers a third bedroom, a dedicated laundry room, and interior access to an oversized one-car garage. A spacious storage room provides valuable additional space for seasonal belongings, recreational equipment, and more.
Backyard Al Fresco Dining - Beautifully developed across three levels, this private outdoor retreat features expansive finished patios that create distinct spaces for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. Contemporary horizontal railings, substantial raised garden beds, and thoughtfully placed outdoor lighting bring structure and style to the setting. Mature evergreens, lush vegetation, and fencing create a wonderful sense of privacy, while a mature orange tree tucked into the corner offers the simple pleasure of fresh-picked fruit for morning juice.
With convenient access from both the kitchen and lower level, the home offers an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living, making it especially inviting for everyday enjoyment and entertaining.
1338 Bates Avenue is rich in personality. From the colorful gardens and welcoming front porch to the sunlit interiors, beautifully appointed kitchen, bold designer bathroom, and exceptional outdoor living spaces, this home offers a distinctive combination of classic Crocker Highlands charm, contemporary comfort, and thoughtful design.
Conveniently located near the vibrant Lakeshore and Glenview Districts with local shops and popular restaurants like Bardo, Almond & Oak, Sirene, Zachary’s, Marzano, Blackberry Bistro, and more. Less than a mile to Crocker Highlands Elementary School and Edna Brewer Middle School, this home is also close to Park Blvd. with amenities like Marzano, Blackberry Bistro, and Paulista Cafe. Nearby commuting options are available via the Transbay bus and freeway access.
This special home combines timeless character with the best of East Bay living.
