Property Description
Some homes just make you want to slow down, invite friends over, and stay awhile. This beautifully renovated Craftsman in the heart of Piedmont Avenue is one of those places, blending timeless character with a fresh contemporary feel. The bright, open floor plan is designed for effortless living and entertaining, with a spacious living room and dining area flowing seamlessly into a stunning chef's kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. Step outside to a sunny deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped, private backyard that feels like your own personal retreat. It's the perfect setting for weekend gatherings, quiet mornings with coffee, or winding down at the end of the day while taking in the golden hour sunsets. The flexible floor plan offers two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, while the lower level features a serene primary suite, an additional bedroom, and a comfortable family room. Thoughtful improvements make this home as comfortable as it is beautiful, including a fully insulated loft that keeps the home warm and cozy through the winter months, while the naturally cool lower level provides a welcome escape during the summer. Located just moments from vibrant Piedmont Avenue, you'll enjoy one of Oakland's most beloved neighborhoods right outside your door. Grab fresh groceries from Piedmont Grocery, meet friends at Cato's, browse local coffee shops, bookstores, and vintage boutiques, or explore an incredible dining scene that includes neighborhood favorites like Doña, Teni East Kitchen, Geta, Pomet, The Wolf, Commis, and the lively wine bar La Loulou. This is a home that offers not only exceptional living spaces, but an exceptional lifestyle.
