Beautifully situated on a quiet block just off 35th Avenue near Redwood Regional Park, 3532 Harbor View is a warm and welcoming 2BD/1BA single-level mid-century home featuring bay views, spacious terraced rear garden and patio, owner’s sunroom suite, and open common areas. Southwest-facing and in a sunny microclimate, brimming with charm and offering easy access to both nature and a host of local amenities, this thoughtfully designed and lovingly cared-for home is sure to steal your heart.

As you approach the front door past lush flowering plants and rustling trees, you will be gently pulled under the home’s irresistible spell. Once inside, you will find yourself in the bright and inviting vestibule, with the light-filled living room to your right and bedroom wing just ahead. A generously proportioned space whose dramatic picture windows gaze majestically over neighboring rooftops and the bay, the living room is at once elegant and comfortable. A graceful wood-burning fireplace and original hardwood floors frame this lovely space.

Just beyond the living room, the dining area and adjoining open kitchen provide immediate access to the home’s crown jewel: its stunning enclosed rear garden. This expansive exterior area offers multiple patios and sitting areas, plant beds, thornless blackberries, herbs, and trees (including plum, lemon, and a rare extra-tall stone pine). The dining room’s French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an enchanting indoor-outdoor flow. The ideal place to entertain, relax with friends, watch the squirrels play in the morning, lounge in a hammock, or unwind after a long day, the garden is your own private urban oasis.

This home offers two beautiful bedrooms, including its wonderfully romantic owner’s suite, in which the owner’s bed chamber adjoins its own private glass-enclosed sunroom looking out over the bay. The perfect place to watch the sunset or enjoy the fireworks from the Oakland Coliseum, this relaxing and luxurious bonus space allows you to savor your home’s connection to its surroundings while lounging in your slippers and sipping your evening cocktail or morning coffee.

You will discover a host of thoughtful details sprinkled throughout this captivating home. The well-designed kitchen features under-counter lighting, countertop gas range with downdraft and wooden cutting-board cover, shallow yet capacious refrigerator that mimics the counters’ depth, and dual-compartment porcelain sink with windows overlooking your peaceful garden. Under the main floor, you will find an unexpected bonus: a lower-level potential guest suite with its own private entrance and roof deck over the garage. Currently housing the washer-dryer, this space is plumbed for a potential future bath and offers a host of tantalizing possibilities.

3532 Harbor View is a 2BD/1BA panoply of delights, from enchanting gardens to vintage details to open floor plan. Located just minutes from Redwood Regional Park with easy access to Highway 13, I-580, and Oakland’s countless enticing caf√©s, restaurants, and amenities, this gorgeous urban oasis truly has it all. We warmly invite you to come explore this wonderful home.
