Urban Retreat: California Bungalow with Guest House & Garden Oasis

Tucked into a lovely neighborhood known for its colorful, one-of-a-kind homes, this classic California one-level bungalow beautifully blends original charm with thoughtful updates and a fabulous guest house!

From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by lush, mature landscaping, Japanese maples that filter soft light, lemon and loquat trees offering fruit and a stone patio perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. A sweet front porch sets the tone for this inviting one-level home. Step inside to find exposed wood beam ceilings, hardwood floors, and a rustic fireplace anchoring the sunny living room. Oversized windows draw in natural light, creating a warm and airy atmosphere.

Through a wide arched entryway from the living room, the dining area glows under a playful statement light fixture—perfect for hosting family or friends for dinner. The open flow into the kitchen is functional and makes entertaining effortless. The kitchen features a stylish mix of sharp gray and off-white cabinetry, complementary granite counters, and a charming eat-in nook with bay windows overlooking the backyard. A full-size laundry room boasts plenty of work space and storage! Two bright and comfortable bedrooms share a remodeled bathroom with colorful walls, classic subway tile, a newer vanity and sink, and soaking tub.

Outside, the spacious backyard invites gatherings and alfresco dining beneath a majestic redwood tree while enjoying mature apple and plum trees. The detached guest home includes a kitchenette and full bath, ideal for visitors, extended family, or home office. A semi-finished shed provides even more flexibility—think workshop, or creative studio. A long driveway allows for lots of off-street parking. EV charger and owned solar panels!

Perfectly situated near 580, minutes to King Estate Open Space Park, Redwood Regional Park, Lake Chabot, and the Oakland Zoo - what a wonderful place to call home!
