Listed by David Gunderman of KW Advisors East Bay
A renovated duplex built for genuine flexibility - live upstairs, and host or generate income below. Two well-appointed homes, two private outdoor spaces, three off-street parking spots, and separate meters for gas and electric. Ready for an owner-occupant or investor without compromise. THE FEELING: A Victorian face with a modern, unfussy heart. Cedar-shingled gable and white gingerbread trim mark the facade; inside, light-filled rooms, fresh white walls, and warm floors set against a calm contemporary palette throughout both homes. UPPER UNIT A: 3 BD, 2 BA, 1147 SQFT: Lives like a single-family home. Hardwood floors run throughout, opening to a formal dining area and an updated kitchen finished to the same standard as the rest of the unit. The primary suite is the standout, with an en-suite bath featuring a double vanity and veined marble-look tiled walk-in shower, plus a sliding door to a private deck overlooking the yard below. LOWER UNIT B: 4 BD, 1 BA, 1147 SQFT: Equally well-finished, with its own gorgeous kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a private side patio with separate yard access - shaded, quiet, and ready for morning coffee. THE YARD: A true outdoor retreat running the length of the lot, thoughtfully divided so each household has its own space. The lower unit's side patio is intimate and private; beyond it, a lawn and dining patio strung with bistro lights opens for evening gatherings, framed by mature grasses and flowering shrubs for privacy throughout. PARKING: Three off-street spaces, including an EV charger. OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR: Set in Gaskill, a quiet Victorian pocket of North Oakland at the doorstep of Emeryville. Easy reach to Bay Street for shopping and dining, with a straightforward commute to Berkeley, downtown Oakland, and across the bridge.
