Turnkey Upper Dimond Home on Large Lot Close to Parks, Freeways + Shopping
Conveniently located midway between Hwy 13 and I-580 in Oakland's desirable Upper Dimond neighborhood, this two-story home offers vintage charm, modern updates, and a sought-after location! The pleasing, traditional floor plan includes 3 bedrooms,1.5 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a large, beautifully updated kitchen and mudroom, and an attached garage presently used as a workshop. Built in 1940, the attractive facade includes a covered front porch beneath a second story balcony, all adorned with lovely 1940s design. Situated on a large corner lot, the home sits back from the street on a slight rise behind lush landscaping that complements the home's distinctive curb appeal.
Inside, an entry hall separates the spacious living room on the right from the formal dining room straight ahead, both of which have vintage oak floors and are entered through the original arched doorways. The living room includes a functioning, wood burning fireplace as well as front porch and garden views, and the dining room is large enough for entertaining a crowd or hosting simple family gatherings. Dual-pane windows in both rooms provide energy efficiency and abundant natural light. The remodeled kitchen offers the best of contemporary styling while keeping the age and aesthetic of the home in mind! Plenty of white, Shaker-style cabinets blend with quartz counters, white subways tiles and stainless steel LG appliances. A remodeled half bath is off the kitchen, next to a mudroom with full-lite French doors that open to the backyard deck and garden.
The home's bedrooms and full bathroom are located upstairs. The spacious primary bedroom has a vintage oak floor, custom-built closet organizers, and a view of the backyard garden from one side of the room and views of the front yard from the other side. A door to the second story balcony provides the perfect spot for enjoying some fresh air or watching sunsets over the bay. Two additional bedrooms have oak floors and closet built-ins, and the hallway bathroom has been updated with a contemporary soaking tub/shower combination paired with white subway tiles on the surround and walls.
A special feature of this lovely home is the fabulous backyard retreat! The yard has an expansive wood deck, raised vegetable and flower beds with irrigation, a mature orange tree filled with fruit, a sculptural Monterey cypress tree and tall bamboo wall for privacy. It is also the perfect space for hosting friends and family! A large patio and lawn round out this lovely spot for tending the garden, entertaining, or simply enjoying Oakland's temperate climate.
Located just minutes from the dining and shopping destinations in Montclair Village and the Diamond/Laurel District shopping and cafes, this move-in-ready home is wonderfully placed to take full advantage of all that living in Oakland has to offer.

The intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Fruitvale Avenue is the heart of Oakland's Dimond neighborhood, one of the city's most up-and-coming enclaves.
The walkable neighborhood boasts several major banks, two major grocery stores, a pharmacy, and various mom-and-pop businesses. Families appreciate a branch of the Oakland Public Library, as well as Dimond Park and Dimond Recreation Center on Fruitvale Avenue. The Dimond Improvement Association (DIA) is committed to making the tight-knit neighborhood “a vital, safe and beautiful place” for its residents and plans community events -- including the annual Oaktober festival.
Interstate 580 forms the neighborhood's southern border, a convenient perk for commuters. Those who prefer public transportation can use AC Transit's NL bus line, which runs down MacArthur Boulevard and offers transbay service to downtown San Francisco on both weekdays and weekends.
