A Storybook Tudor, Reimagined
When the space you inhabit directly inspires the way you live and work, this modern retreat was made for you. Set along one of Upper Dimond’s most sought-after streets, known for its tree-lined sidewalks and neighborly vibe, this 3-bedroom storybook Tudor and detached cottage have been reinterpreted through a contemporary lens with an eye to sustainability. The main home tastefully mixes original 1920s classic details with a light-filled layout, modern curated design elements, and effortless California indoor-outdoor living.
Inside, original hardwood flooring, crown molding, and intentional paint color selections introduce spaces that feel grounded and warm. The light-filled living room centers around a traditional stone fireplace flanked by wide picture windows. Adjacent to the living space, the dining area features an iconic Nelson bubble lamp.
The custom-renovated kitchen has been designed with a long open countertop to maximize light and space. Solid quartz countertops, an undermount stainless steel sink, and extensive lower cabinet storage with deep drawers blend with a chartreuse scalloped tile backsplash and premium Bertazzoni appliances, including an induction range, fridge and dishwasher. From the sink, the window looks out to the carport pergola draped in mature wisteria. The indoor laundry area features a tucked-away stacked Miele washer and dryer, while a dual-pane French door steps out to a private outdoor entertaining and play space, complete with a custom dining deck and built-in seating, a level lawn, raised garden beds, a bearing lemon tree, and lush greenery.
Three bedrooms are served by a central bath meticulously updated with intentional materials. The bathroom features a curved soaking tub with a half-glass enclosure, chartreuse linear tile accents, a custom vanity topped in solid marble with a wall-mounted faucet, wireless bidet, Ditra underfloor heating and space-maximizing storage. Curated designer lighting choices include an authentic vintage European milk glass pendant in the primary bedroom and modern FLOS fixtures in the other two bedrooms.
Set at the rear of the property, a fully detached cottage equipped with a living area, private bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette provides a great secondary space for guests, a creative studio, or a private work-from-home setup.
Modern infrastructure updates, including a new HVAC system (including Air Conditioning), copper plumbing and Romex wiring, deliver peace of mind. A long driveway, carport parking and workshop / storage complete the home.
Thoughtful sustainability measures are woven throughout the property, from the energy-efficient Bertazzoni induction range to a tankless water heater and a ventless Miele heat pump dryer with direct-line condensation drainage. Outside, the professionally installed front garden features established, drought-tolerant California natives.
A rare hybrid of historic character and modern sustainable design choices, this home is set in a vibrant, hidden-gem Oakland neighborhood that matches its creative energy. Here, you are just minutes from outdoor escapes at Joaquin Miller Park, standout local dining like Jo’s Modern Thai, Bombera, and Grand Lake Kitchen, neighborhood staples like Ghost Town Brewing, Sequoia Diner, Cafe Santana, and Farmer Joe’s Market, plus easy access to Highways 580 and 13.
