5726 Claremont Ave, Oakland, CA 94618

Bring your tool belt and imagination—this Oakland classic is a complete fixer with plenty of upside. Inside you’ll find hardwood floors, vintage built-ins, and the quirks of Grandma’s kitchen, all within a traditional layout that offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, three bedrooms, and one spacious bath. The dirt-floored basement provides ample storage (or the chance for bold reinvention), while the attic—currently offering peekaboo views of the sky—begs for someone ready to think outside the box. Out front, a welcoming porch sets the tone, while the long driveway to a side gate lead to a large, private yard—once a gardener’s paradise and ready for its next chapter. The location is tough to beat: just blocks to College Ave, moments from Rockridge BART and Trader Joe’s, plus shops, cafés, and freeway access right at your fingertips. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for the visionary ready to transform a diamond in the rough into the neighborhood’s next gem.
