HOME SWEET HOME This 1923 split-level Craftsman house in the up and coming Bellavista neighborhood has all you need. A sweet porch is a great welcome to this bright and cheerful home. Inside, the open floor plan gracefully unites the living and dining rooms. Classic hardwood floors, lots of natural light and vintage details make it especially inviting. The eat-in kitchen has Carrara marble-like quartz counters and a corner window that overlooks the back yard and its beautiful fig tree. The kitchen has a back door to the yard, which is nicely landscaped with succulents, lavender and rosemary, and framed by a willow and peach tree. The downstairs bedroom overlooks the garden and is bright and comfortable. On the upper level is another bedroom, with large windows and a peek-a-boo view. The downstairs bathroom is convenient to both bedrooms. A detached garage offers lots of storage and off-street parking. This cute house is a cozy nook in a good location. The Bella Vista neighborhood is one of Oakland's best kept secrets - close to everything, quiet at night and genuinely a mixture of all lifestyles. A few blocks away in neighboring Clinton are several excellent neighborhood restaurants: Michelin recommended Champa Garden (Thai/Laotian), The Grocery Cafe (Burmese), and Kainbigan (Philipino). Portal Restaurant and some of Oakland's best taco trucks are also nearby. Sunny all the time, it is a quick trip to Lake Merritt, the farmers' market and the excellent shopping at Lakeshore, and is near to the Glenview neighborhood, with the delights of Rumbo al Sur, Bellanico and Park Burger. Lots of light and a lovely location make a winning combination in this charming home.
