Weekday open house, 8/21, 11:30-1:30pm. A rare legal duplex in the heart of Oakland, just moments from Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, local parks, Trader Joe's and the lively Farmers Market. This well-maintained property features two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, each offering flexibility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a creative live-work setup. The upstairs residence showcases hardwood floors, sun-filled rooms, and period details throughout, plus a bright sunroom with a view of Lake Merritt. From this level, step out to the backyard patio—a serene retreat ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the neighborhood’s charm. The lower unit, recently staged, offers a similar classic layout with a separate living and dining room and direct access to the shared outdoor space. Both kitchens and baths have been thoughtfully updated over the years, and the property is structurally sound with the benefit of a newer foundation. A full basement provides laundry and generous storage, while the outdoor areas have been lovingly cared for and designed for easy upkeep. With its inviting character, strong bones, and unbeatable location, 473 Newton Avenue is more than a home—it’s an Oakland opportunity filled with charm, comfort, and lasting value.
