2435 burlington st

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Oakland’s sought-after Lincoln Highlands, this beautifully updated split-level Mediterranean blends timeless character with warmth, privacy, and a true sense of community. Rich hardwood floors and Bay views set the tone, while an updated kitchen sits at the heart of the home—enhanced by solar tube skylights that fill the space with natural light, occasionally casting a soft rainbow across the floor. The dining room’s original plaster decorative trim offers a refined nod to the home’s craftsmanship, and a distinctive original weather vane—unique to the historic homes on the block—adds a rare architectural signature. An attached converted garage, currently used as a bedroom with en suite bath, provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or bonus living. The spacious basement offers abundant storage or potential for a gym, workshop, or future retreat. Lush, curated gardens create a private sanctuary, complete with mature fruit trees—apple, plum, nectarine, tangerine, and lemon—offering seasonal abundance right at home. The front fountain serves as a beloved neighborhood landmark—a favorite stop for both neighbors on daily walks and the occasional hummingbird. Peaceful yet connected, this home is just minutes from Joaquin Miller Regional Park's trails and open space, as well as the vibrant dining and shopping of Montclair, Dimond, and Laurel. A rare offering where character, comfort, and community come together effortlessly to create home.
