Perched in the heart of Oakmore, 1908 Melvin is one of those rare finds where the layout just clicks. If you’ve been searching for a floor plan that actually makes sense for real life, this is it. The living room is a total showstopper with soaring high ceilings, fireplace, and big windows that frame those killer Bay and Bridge views. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party in the formal dining room or just grabbing a quick coffee in the sunny kitchen nook, the backdrop is pure East Bay magic. The bedroom layout is the real winner. You’ve got three bedrooms and two full bathrooms all tucked together on the upper level. It’s the kind of cohesive, thoughtful layout that’s hard to find. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, a spacious bedroom with a private ensuite bath. Down the hall, a second bathroom maintains its character with vintage tile and tub. Head downstairs to find a secondary living space that’s ready for movie nights, plus a bonus room perfect for a home office, playroom, or gym. There’s also a third full bath, the laundry setup, and the convenience of interior access to the garage. Outside, it just keeps getting better. Level lawns in both the front and the back, a serious rarity for the area! While you enjoy the big views from the front, the back of the house transitions into a private, level oasis. Level lawn, and a large deck with built-in benches. It’s a secluded retreat designed for firing up the grill and lounging in total peace. 1908 Melvin is more than just a house, it’s a lifestyle upgrade in a neighborhood everyone loves.
