This charming vintage Maxwell Park home has been beautifully updated with contemporary finishes in keeping with the original Craftsman aesthetic. Built in 1924, this gracious home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, traditional living and dining rooms, a spacious, eat-in kitchen, laundry space and a large basement for storage and/or potential home square footage expansion. With its prominent position on a large corner lot, the home's lovely curb appeal is accentuated by a generous front sitting porch and iconic Craftsman features.

Inside, the home's elegant living and dining rooms maintain preserved vintage features including a stone/brick fireplace, built-in display cases, and a simple arched doorway separating the living and dining rooms. The kitchen, located behind the dining room, is newly remodeled with stainless steel appliances, Shaker-style cabinets, quartz counters beneath a white subway-tile backsplash, and attractive SPC flooring that continues into most rooms in the home. A laundry space sits off the kitchen, and leads to a back door that opens to a covered porch and the large, lush backyard.

Like most vintage Craftsman floor plans, the bedrooms are situated off a dedicated hallway adjacent to the home's public rooms. The primary bedroom is very generously sized, and both bedrooms have well-sized closets, dual-pane windows, new light fixtures, easy to maintain flooring, and plenty of bright, natural light. A bathroom with a bath/shower combination conveniently sits between the bedrooms.

Situated on a tree-shaded, residential block with picturesque houses from the same era, this charming home is close to Laurel District and Fruitvale Ave shopping, and the park-like greenbelts pre-school, trails, museums and events offered by Mills College/Northeastern University. With easy access to freeways, Oakland City Center, Grand/Lake neighborhood amenities, BART and Oakland Airport, this home is truly special.
