What better way to start the New Year than in a Remodeled Craftsman Bungalow in one of Oakland’s Hottest Neighborhoods? Here is your chance to own a wonderful Craftsman home from 1916 with a new facelift done in 2009. A “Top to Bottom” remodel was just completed, that not only made the best of the period charm, but also dealt with things like the roof and foundation. The kitchen and bathroom were done in almost perfect “Period” style and would be worthy of a magazine spread. This home features two sunny bedrooms, a lovely bathroom, kitchen, breakfast nook, and formal living and dining rooms. The kitchen in this home is one of my absolute favorites — with brand new custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and beautiful hexagonal tiles on the counter. Having a breakfast nook or home office space just off the kitchen is amazing and it leads out to an elevated deck and then into the backyard. The period appeal is still intact in this home with gleaming hardwood floors, columns, and a built-in China cabinet. With designer colors and fresh paint inside and out this house is ready for you. The full basement should not be missed. It has a one-car garage space and still has plenty of room for almost anything you can imagine. Do you need a play space for the young ones, craft or art space for you? Do you have a lot of treasures to store and work on? Well this basement is ready for any creative or even boring use you can imagine. The fully landscaped yard, clear pest report and work done with permits just makes this a don’t miss deal and the perfect way to start a new decade! (did we mention the new “Actual Café” which just opened nearby? Great press.) Neighborhood Description The Golden Gate District in North Oakland welcomes nearby neighbors from Berkeley and Emeryville with a shining example of the best this city has to offer. Anchored by the architecturally impressive Golden Gate Library, this Oakland neighborhood proudly shows off its eclectic diversity. Stretched along San Pablo Avenue, connecting Emeryville and Berkeley, the Golden Gate District is full of classic Victorians, Craftsmans and bungalows from the early 1900s. Back then, the area was a town called Klinknerville, before becoming the town of Golden Gate, which was annexed by Oakland. And, the Golden Gate Library has stood impressively through all those changes. Originally established in 1899, the current branch was built back in 1918 with funding from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. Its remarkable Georgian Revival style has drawn in readers and neighbors for nearly 100 years. The library is a true community center, offering many services and events and serving as a meeting place for the many residents of the neighborhood. The San Pablo commercial area between 53rd Street and 67th Street is designated by colorful concrete pylons welcoming you to the Golden Gate District. The neighborhood’s diversity is reflected by longtime businesses like Amber Flooring alongside a variety of yoga and meditation studios. And, if you need your motorcycle worked on while getting a tattoo and gorging on all-you-can-eat waffles, then Godspeed is the place for you. The Golden Gate District is a great location for commuters, with its easy access to highways 80, 580 and 24, plus close proximity to the MacArthur BART station. AC Transit Line 72 will whisk you up and down San Pablo Avenue. And, if you just need to get around Emeryville, then hop on the Emery-Go-Round. As it continues to grow and evolve, the Golden Gate District certainly appears to have a golden future.
