Description

Tucked along the border of Oakland’s Allendale and Harrington neighborhoods, this charming California Bungalow offers a warm blend of classic character and thoughtful updates, along with a versatile ADU* for added flexibility—all set on a generous 5,500 square foot lot**.

The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 updated bath, filled with natural light that highlights its inviting, move-in-ready interiors. The eat-in kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with timeless details, including Heath tile accents, a beloved Wedgewood stove, and a new (2026) dishwasher—creating a space that feels both functional and full of personality. The fireplace with matching Heath tile hearth adds to the home’s classic appeal, while vinyl windows and newer central A/C and furnace provide modern comfort year-round.

Out back, a fully fenced and beautifully landscaped yard offers a peaceful retreat. Mature plantings include apple, avocado, fig, Meyer lemon, and a young lime tree, along with a passion fruit vine draped over a pergola, raspberry bushes, and blooming flowers throughout. The spacious patio beneath the pergola is ideal for outdoor dining or simply relaxing while enjoying the steady presence of local birds that come to enjoy it. A drip irrigation system helps keep the garden thriving with ease.

The detached ADU, complete with a full bath, kitchenette, and its own split unit for heating and cooling, provides excellent potential for guests, a home office, or any possibilities you can imagine.*

Additional highlights include a new foundation with seismic retrofit and a garage with tandem off-street parking. Conveniently located with easy access to Fruitvale BART, I-580, Joaquin Miller Park, and the shops and amenities along Fruitvale Avenue.

Thoughtfully updated and well cared for, the home is truly move-in ready. Whether settling in, expanding into the ADU, or simply enjoying the indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this property offers a rare combination of ease and possibility in a well-connected Oakland setting.

Oakland

One of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the country. Renowned for its artistic and cultural richness.

Welcome to Oakland

Oakland is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the country. Renowned for its artistic and cultural richness, thriving dining scene, and leadership in environmental sustainability, it’s a highly desirable place to live, attracting people from all over the world.
 
Located just 20 minutes from San Francisco, in the geographical center of the Bay Area, Oakland enjoys a warmer climate than its West Bay neighbor. Its landscape includes vast parkland with towering redwood trees, babbling creeks and miles of hiking trails, as well as Lake Merritt, a large tidal lagoon that connects to a beautiful waterfront.
 
In such a large and ethnically diverse city, where 400,000-plus residents speak more than 120 languages, there is no shortage of cultural amenities to draw your attention. The city’s world-class attractions include an internationally acclaimed museum, ballet, symphony and zoo; two grand, Art Deco-style performance venues; and the A’s major-league baseball team. Every first Friday of the month, throngs of people flock to the city’s hugely popular art walk, Art Murmur, and accompanying street party, First Friday. Oakland is also home to a large LGBT community and, in recent years, has attracted an influx of tech companies, helping usher in a wave of new restaurants, bars and boutiques.
 
The city’s neighborhoods are as diverse as its population, with charm and uniqueness permeating every corner. Oakland real estate spans the gamut, from the restored Craftsman bungalows of Rockridge to the stately Tudors of Crocker Highlands and the colorful Victorians and lofts of West Oakland, offering something for everyone.
 
Transportation-wise, Oakland residents have plentiful options, with an international airport, major freeways, bus lines, BART, bike lanes and a free downtown shuttle. To make it even easier to get around, the city expanded its bike- and car-sharing options in 2017.
