550 Vernon St, Oakland, CA 94610

Conveniently located in the historic Rose Garden district of Oakland, midway between popular Grand/Lake and Piedmont Ave districts, this property has one foot planted in the past and one in the present, so you get the best of both worlds!The entire building's Victorian character has been meticulously preserved and restored. The smart color scheme, shingled corner turret, and partially-enclosed front porch are just the beginning. Surprisingly, the top floor 2+BR/1.5BA owner's unit has the space, volume, and style you'd expect to find in a contemporary loft. The spacious 2BR/1BA first floor unit is also lovely, and provides great income. A 2-car garage with an adjoining artist's workshop space is ready and waiting for the next artist or tinkerer. Plenty of tandem off-street parking, a huge basement for storage, and a garden graced by a stately oak make this property truly unique.The building has been retrofitted, has a newer roof, and is sewer compliant.
