Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire multiple homes on a single property in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood! Both houses are authentic Craftsman-era homes owned by the same family for more than 40 years, and sit on a spacious 8,325-square-foot lot in an established residential neighborhood tucked between Claremont and Telegraph avenues. 5731 Hermann Ave, located at the rear of the property, has been newly remodeled to include an open LR/DR/kitchen great room, 2BR + 1BA, and a lower, approximately 1,000 SF level-in bonus space for potential add'l home square footage, storage, home office, studio, etc. 5729 Hermann sits at the front of the property, and includes 2 BR, 1 BA main level with traditional Craftsman living/dining rooms + a new eat-in kitchen with a breakfast nook. Vintage LR/DR features include oak floors, tray ceilings, built-in cabinets/bookshelves + a gorgeous Craftsman tile fireplace. A non-conforming lower level flex space (~927 SF) has a private entrance, a partial kitchen, full bathroom, and offers the potential for creating a large SFR by combining the 2 levels. So many possibilities for lot division, additional buildings, rental income or multi-family living on one property! This is an extraordinary opportunity in a highly desirable Rockridge location!
