986 43rd street

Built in 2016 by Baran Studios, this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home features 10-foot ceilings, tons of windows, and an open floor plan. It feels bright, spacious, and welcoming. The design is both practical and stylish, with radiant-heated concrete floors, whitewashed wood walls, skylights, and smart energy features. The kitchen is the centerpiece—with a BlueStar 6-burner range, clean cabinets, quartz counters, and simple pendant lights that give it a modern and comfortable vibe. A super cool half bathroom completes this level. Upstairs, a wide hallway and open stairwell separate the bedrooms from the main living areas. There are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite that overlooks the backyard and gets great natural light. The backyard is made for hanging out and relaxing: eat outside, gather around the gas firepit, or just enjoy the low-maintenance landscaping with friends. The garage has been used as an amazing workshop - and it provides convenient interior access to the house. This home is in the popular Longfellow neighborhood, making commutes to San Francisco or the Peninsula easy. New construction in this area is rare—this is a great find in one of Oakland’s most sought-after pockets.
