An Oakland Gem
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind retreat nestled in a park-like setting, where a brick pathway winds through vibrant gardens shaded by a majestic sycamore tree planted in 1983.
This unique and stunning wood shingled home is adorned with 9 dormers boasting custom windows and a quintessential front porch. So charming and welcoming, it beckons one inside.
Carefully designed, a step through the artistic front door reveals a living room with gleaming wood floors, fresh white walls, and rich wood molding, window trim, and baseboards. Tall windows bathe the room in natural light and frame the garden views.
A wide entry leads to the eat-in kitchen, a culinary treat featuring butcher block counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, a vintage O'Keefe and Merritt range, and a new Zephyr hood—an artful blend of classic elegance and modern functionality. The main floor also hosts a stylish full bath and a spacious bedroom, while doors open onto the backyard brick patio for delightful outdoor dining.
Ascend the wood stairway to discover the exquisite architectural design of the second and third levels. The second level showcases a living area with a wood-burning stove and a full wet bar. Incredibly, the flooring here is repurposed maple from a bowling alley—a nod to both sustainability and unique design. This space leads through French doors to the backyard deck and gardens. This level also features a large front bedroom with custom windows and an exposed wood ceiling, plus a large laundry room and full bath featuring a cast iron tub.
Venture up to the third level via a ladder stairway adorned with a copper pipe handrail, revealing a loft space. Reclaimed redwood flooring from an 1880’s Navy warehouse imbue the loft with historical charm, and salvaged 1x4 Douglas fir adorns the walls and arched ceilings; all just absolutely stunning. This space is ideal for a myriad of purposes— an art studio or serene yoga retreat to name a few.
Step into the backyard oasis of this remarkable home, where vibrant, colorful plants create a picturesque backdrop for relaxation and play. An over-sized deck overlooks a lush lawn, ideal for children and pets to roam freely. Whether barbecuing with friends or enjoying al fresco dining under the stars, this outdoor haven offers endless opportunities for cherished gatherings and unforgettable moments. Take in the stunning Oak tree, all the while enjoying the apple tree, succulents, agave, daisies, yukas, lavender, and monstera… just to name a few!
Experience the rich history and character woven into every corner of this home—a sanctuary where timeless craftsmanship meets modern comforts, offering a lifestyle as unique as the house itself.

Property Tour
Neighborhood
The intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Fruitvale Avenue is the heart of Oakland's Dimond neighborhood, one of the city's most up-and-coming enclaves.
The walkable neighborhood boasts several major banks, two major grocery stores, a pharmacy, and various mom-and-pop businesses. Families appreciate a branch of the Oakland Public Library, as well as Dimond Park and Dimond Recreation Center on Fruitvale Avenue. The Dimond Improvement Association (DIA) is committed to making the tight-knit neighborhood “a vital, safe and beautiful place” for its residents and plans community events -- including the annual Oaktober festival.
Interstate 580 forms the neighborhood's southern border, a convenient perk for commuters. Those who prefer public transportation can use AC Transit's NL bus line, which runs down MacArthur Boulevard and offers transbay service to downtown San Francisco on both weekdays and weekends.
