Nestled in Oakland’s beloved Maxwell Park neighborhood, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends classic 1920s character with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1926, the 1,131 sq ft residence sits on a 3,040 sq ft lot and is filled with natural light, timeless architectural details, and inviting indoor-outdoor living.

​

Inside, beautiful hardwood floors with a striking contrasting border, crown molding, graceful arched entryways, and a fireplace with an ornate mantel create warmth and charm throughout the main living spaces. The bright, open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen are framed by large windows that fill the home with sunshine and offer lovely bay views.

The kitchen was tastefully updated in 2022 with new countertops, backsplash, sink, fixtures, appliances, and a wine fridge—perfect for entertaining. French doors open directly to the backyard, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

​

The spacious primary bedroom features a large closet, direct backyard access through a glass door, and an updated en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and built-in bench. The guest bedroom at the front of the home enjoys beautiful natural light and bay views through large windows, along with a generous closet. A second updated bathroom and a convenient laundry closet are located just off the hallway. Both bathrooms were refreshed in 2022.

​

Outdoor spaces truly elevate this home. The front yard patio overlooks the bay and offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining, relaxing in the sun, or cultivating a vibrant garden. In the backyard, a patio just off the kitchen and primary bedroom creates an inviting retreat where the French doors blur the line between indoors and out.

​

A partially finished basement with a separate side entrance offers exciting potential for a future in-law unit (buyer to verify), home office, gym, or additional storage—ideal for all your Bay Area hobbies and gear.

​

Conveniently located just minutes from the shops and restaurants of the Laurel District and the Lower Diamond, and a short drive to Lake Merritt. Nearby favorites include Green House Bakery, Mills College at Northeastern University, Melrose Leadership Academy, and Laurel Elementary School. Easy access to Highways 580 and 880 and the Fruitvale BART station makes commuting a breeze.

Come experience the charm, sunshine, and indoor-outdoor lifestyle that make this Maxwell Park gem feel like home.
