Welcome to this timeless beauty on a lovely tree-lined street in North Oakland. This 3 Bed and 1 Bath home is south-facing with clapboard, redwood siding, and large bay windows. The formal living room and dining room have tall, coved ceilings, charming flat panel wainscoting, and a set of pocket doors. Plus, a fireplace and built-in hutch. Off the dining area is the kitchen with newer modern appliances a stone countertop. East light filters through a set of windows. Near the kitchen is a door that accesses yard and basement areas. Each of the 3 bedrooms is unique from the other, but they all share substantial natural light. The rear bedroom looks out onto a fragrant wisteria vine. So much to love in the big, updated bathroom – with its detailed tilework, a true soaking tub, plus walk-in shower. Outside is a refuge. Stunning flowers, sweet smells of verbenas, ferns, trumpet flowers, fruit trees, to name a bit of the variety that is found in this paradise. In the rear section of the yard is a cozy patio. Also, there is a detached “garden casita” the spot for creative projects or game night. The driveway in front delivers ample off-street parking. This gem on 56th Street is the perfect Oakland location as it is adjacent to bike lanes, local parks, food options and MacArthur BART.
