Tucked behind a private gate in Oakland’s vibrant Oak Tree neighborhood, this extraordinary Craftsman-style residence reveals a hidden world of light, space, and privacy. Once a carriage house, it has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its rich architectural character. The open floor plan features soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a striking fireplace with custom iron screen doors anchoring the living and dining areas, perfect for gatherings. The sunny kitchen blends style and function with stone countertops, stainless appliances, and tile flooring. A half bath and laundry room on the main level enhance the home’s comfort and flow. Freshly refinished wood floors extend through the main living areas and bedrooms, adding warmth and continuity throughout. The spacious full bath offers a separate shower and deep soaking tub for relaxation and quiet luxury. Just outside, a lush garden sanctuary framed by mature trees and flowering shrubs effortlessly extends living outdoors. A charming detached studio, generous storage, and proximity to BART and Lake Merritt complete this rare retreat.
