This 1905 Lake Merritt Victorian beauty has been totally remodeled to create a comfortable modern home while still maintaining its original charm. Many features have been preserved from hardwood floors and built-ins, to doorknobs and wainscoting. The renovation includes addition of 2 new bathrooms, remodeled existing bathrooms, gourmet kitchen w/ brand-new appliances, new decks, and much more!
While this home could be a wonderful and spacious primary residence, it could also serve as a great income producing opportunity, whether it be a corporate rental, vacation home, or rented to roommates. The living room easily converts to a 5th bedroom, and living room activities could shift to the backyard “carriage house.” Walk out the back deck to landscaped backyard and large detached carriage house. Beautifully re-finished concrete floors and finished walls upgrade it from a musty storage space to a flexible recreation space. Another unique feature of home is multiple master bedrooms, with the ground-floor master having its own separate entrance.
As you enter through the front door with keyless lock, you’ll find a living room, dining room, gourmet kitchen, half bath, bedroom with separate entrance to outside, full bathroom, and deck. Upstairs find a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and private deck, and 2 other bedrooms and full bath.
Be at the heart of Oakland with close proximity to Lake Merritt, cafes, shops, and outdoor activities. Quick access to public transportation and freeways gives you easy connectivity to the rest of the Bay. Start your mornings with a 3-mile circumference jog around the lake and spend Saturday shopping at the Lake Merritt Farmers Market. Enjoy all the updated systems and modern finishes while still enjoying the Victorian architectural charm. 1441 1st Avenue awaits!
