This handsome 3BD/2.5BA two-story Victorian-style home features 1,605 square feet of living space, sun-washed rooms, and sophisticated detailing including overhead lights framed by ceiling medallions, elegant picture frame wainscotting, richly dark wood floors, and decorative staircase balusters. Built in 2015 with modern convenience in mind, the open floor plan provides an effortless flow between the living room, kitchen and dining room while oversized windows deliver plenty of natural light. The kitchen is spacious and contains a 4-burner gas stove, newer hood, newer dishwasher, and extra countertop space with an abundance of cabinetry for storage. Classic French doors lead to a bonus room between the living and dining rooms – ideal for a sunny breakfast nook, family room, or kids’ romper area. All bedrooms and full baths are located on the upper level for privacy and feature crown molding and large sliding door closets. The primary bath enjoys dual sinks, a skylight, and a shower over a sunken tub – just the thing to relieve the stress of a busy day. The upstairs also contains a laundry closet with stackable front load washer/dryer and additional full bath with walk-in shower and pedestal sink. 

Access to the rear yard is located through the dining room which features lush landscaping and a verdant lawn creating a quiet oasis, while the wooden deck is ready for outdoor cocktails and summer barbeques with a custom handcrafted wood slab countertop. The front driveway eliminates the hassle of off-street parking while the landscaped succulent garden creates inviting year-round greenery.  This home is tucked on a block surrounded by neighboring renovated Victorians and charming tree-lined sidewalks. Close to BART, freeways, West Oakland Farmers Market, and a short drive to Jack London Square eateries and ferry, Harbor Shoreline Park, and the Oakland Estuary.
