There is a particular kind of East Bay house that knows how to hold two stories at once. A house with the bones of one century & the breath of the next. A Craftsman with a modern second life, tucked into one of the East Bay's most spirited corners. Behind a quiet facade in Oakland's Paradise Park neighborhood, the home opens into something generous & sun-filled. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, & 2,322 square feet of living space spread across two stories on a 3,960 square foot lot, arranged with purpose. A massive chef's kitchen anchors the main level, its center island built for the long dinners and weekday mornings that real life is made of. The kitchen & family room move into one another easily, and a formal dining room offers a quieter counterpoint when the occasion calls for it. The flow allows you to move throughout with ease and pulls you towards the rear deck & a generous backyard, ready for gardening, gathering, or simply lingering. On the main level, a full bedroom and bathroom sit ready for guests or a work-from-home setup. Upstairs, the primary suite was designed to offer you a pure escape. Here are two more generous bedrooms & a fully updated guest bathroom, offering wonderful space & rounding out the awesome floorplan. Outside you have a plethora of vegetables & mature plantings. A delight of apples, orange, lemons, tomatoes & more. This area was curated with love by the current owners from every vegetable bed, flower & succulent. Perfectly paved in the right places offering more areas to dine alfresco, beyond the sunny deck, offering you the best indoor-outdoor California living. The fully enclosed and fenced in backyard also offers a wonderful shed that offers you space to store bikes & personal items. What you cannot see from the street is the work underneath. Completely redone in 2016, from its foundation, electrical, plumbing, roof, & everything in between, this home truly was redesigned to last comfortably for another hundred years. The setting matters too.
