Located in Oakland's Maxwell Park neighborhood, long recognized for its charming vintage homes, community spirit and scenic views, this 2BR/2BA 1927 Mediterranean-style bungalow sits in the Oakland foothills on a lovely tree-lined street less than half a mile from Melrose Leadership Academy, only 2 miles to BART, and conveniently close to I-580. Details include plenty of natural light, a fireplace, newly refinished oak floors, fresh exterior paint, new light fixtures, and a "peek" of the GG Bridge/SF skyline from one bedroom, and direct access to the fabulous backyard from the other. A bonus space on the lower level makes a nice home office/family room or playroom, while a detached finished backyard structure with large windows, electricity and a hardwood floor offers many versatile uses for a home office, studio or workshop. An original "cold room" off the garage, originally for perishable foods, has been reconfigured into a roomy storage space! The amazing, level backyard includes a large redwood deck, several play areas and thoughtfully curated landscaping with wisteria, yarrow, rosemary, jasmine, colorful morning glory vines, different varieties of lavender, and so much more! Located close to Laurel District shopping, with easy access to Montclair Village and highways 13/24. Special!
