Tucked into an easy commute corridor near 580, this Oakland home offers a rare blend of everyday function and room to dream. Step inside to find hardwood floors underfoot and vaulted ceilings overhead, while oversized bay windows fill the living space with natural light throughout the day. The primary bedroom includes a permitted bonus room, a flexible space that adapts to how you actually live: a quiet home office, a creative workspace, or a nursery. With two bedrooms and one bathroom, the floor plan keeps things simple without sacrificing versatility. In the kitchen, a Viking range anchors the space for anyone who takes cooking seriously. Outside, the backyard is a true blank canvas across multiple levels, offering natural separation for a garden, a play area, and a dedicated spot to unwind. A built in BBQ and fireplace set the stage for evenings outdoors, while a permitted, vintage style playhouse tucked into the back left corner adds a whimsical touch that's ready to enjoy from day one. Location rounds out the appeal, with the Oakland Zoo, local parks, and Merit College all close by, plus quick access to 580 for commuters heading in any direction.
