Tucked into the East Bay hills in Oakland's sought-after Upper Laurel/Redwood Heights neighborhood, this thoughtfully updated 1925 bungalow exudes vintage character and move-in ready appeal. Set on a serene, quiet street with stunning Oakland city and San Francisco Bay views, you're still just minutes from Laurel District shopping and dining, Montclair Village, Woodminster, and the vast trail networks of Joaquin Miller and Redwood Regional Parks. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a traditional living room, eat-in kitchen, laundry/mudroom, and a detached garage. Recent updates include refinished original hardwood floors, fresh paint, new designer lighting, a remodeled bathroom, and a chef's kitchen complete with butcher block counters and an industrial 6-burner gas range. An installed Tesla EV charger rounds out the modern upgrades — perfect for today's eco-conscious buyer. Outside, lush, mature landscaping frames lovely patios and gardens — highlighted by towering fig, Japanese maple, and camellia trees alongside colorful new drought-tolerant plantings. Easy access to Hwys 13, 24, and I-580 makes commuting a breeze. Best of all, the hard work is done — this home is sewer and sidewalk compliant, so you can move in with total peace of mind. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to downsize without compromise, this vintage gem in a picturesque 1920s streetscape offers the perfect balance of charm, character, and modern comfort. Truly one of a kind — don't miss it.
