An iconic, charming redwood beauty on a lovely tree-lined block, this upgraded 4BD/2BA shingled Craftsman offers an irresistible lifestyle of urban livability and historic East Bay architecture. The welcoming porch of this 1877 SQFT home invites you to stay and enjoy the vibrant Piedmont Avenue neighborhood. Coffered ceilings, wainscotting, built-in cabinets, inlaid hardwood floors, transom windows, and a period fireplace make the sunny living and dining rooms one-of-a-kind. Seamless flow leads to the spacious eat-in kitchen, boasting a wet bar/pantry and a sitting area with views to the rear garden. A glass door leads to decks, patios, and plenty of green space to relax, entertain, and play while mature trees provide shade and tranquility. A spacious bedroom with its own exquisitely tiled full bath completes the first floor. Up the gracious staircase (with secret wine cellar underneath!), find three more bright bedrooms, another full bath, stunning wood-paneled office with a view from the dormer window, and two very special hideaways with an extra 172 SQFT for storage or play ? one cleverly hidden behind a bookcase. Outside your door, enjoy the best of Oakland with shopping, dining, independent films, yoga, and a host of other amenities. This is urban living in classic style.
