Perched in the heart of Oakmore, 1908 Melvin is one of those rare finds where the layout just clicks. If you’ve been searching for a floor plan that actually makes sense for real life, this is it.
The living room is a total showstopper with soaring high ceilings, fireplace, and big windows that frame those killer Bay and Bridge views. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party in the formal dining room or just grabbing a quick coffee in the sunny kitchen nook, the backdrop is pure East Bay magic.
The bedroom layout is the real winner. You’ve got three bedrooms and two full bathrooms all tucked together on the upper level. It’s the kind of cohesive, thoughtful layout that’s hard to find. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, a spacious bedroom with a private ensuite bath. Down the hall, a second bathroom maintains its character with vintage tile and tub.
Head downstairs to find a secondary living space that’s ready for movie nights, plus a bonus room perfect for a home office, playroom, or gym. There’s also a third full bath, the laundry setup, and the convenience of interior access to the garage.
Outside, it just keeps getting better. Level lawns in both the front and the back, a serious rarity for the area! While you enjoy the big views from the front, the back of the house transitions into a private, level oasis. Level lawn, and a large deck with built-in benches. It’s a secluded retreat designed for firing up the grill and lounging in total peace.
1908 Melvin is more than just a house, it’s a lifestyle upgrade in a neighborhood everyone loves.

Oakmore emerged from a visionary development in the early 20th century, its name a literal interpretation of the neighborhood's defining characteristic—an abundance of oak trees that create a natural canopy across the landscape. Originally part of a carefully planned residential expansion, the area was developed by real estate pioneers who recognized the unique potential of Oakland's hillside terrain.
Montclair Village serves as the primary commercial hub, offering a robust collection of local eateries, boutique shops, and essential services along Mountain Boulevard and La Salle Avenue. This commercial corridor provides residents with convenient access to everything from daily necessities to specialty dining experiences.
The neighborhood's architectural landscape tells a compelling story of Oakland's residential development. Homes dating from the 1920s and 1930s feature a mix of architectural styles, including Tudor Revival, Mediterranean, and Craftsman designs that create a visually distinctive residential environment. Proximity to Shepherd Canyon Park provides residents with direct access to extensive hiking trails and open spaces, transforming everyday living into an opportunity for outdoor exploration.
What distinguishes Oakmore is its remarkable balance of urban convenience and natural preservation. Bounded by major parks and featuring carefully maintained residential streets, the neighborhood represents a distinctive living experience that captures the best of Oakland's hillside communities. From panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay to direct access to local amenities, Oakmore offers residents a residential environment that combines architectural heritage, natural beauty, and strategic urban positioning.
