All Property Photos
This thoughtful revival of a historic 1918 Craftsman offers something genuinely rare in Oakland's Dimond District: a fully renovated, move-in-ready home paired with a private backyard along Sausal Creek.
A covered front porch with room for chairs sets the tone before you step inside, framed by mature privacy shrubs, distinctive palms, and a large fenced front yard planted with low-maintenance turf. The single-level layout opens into a living, dining, and open kitchen concept anchored by a quartz-surround fireplace and built-in bookcase. Hardwood flooring, dual-pane windows, and recessed lighting carry through the space, while barn doors and updated hardware add character throughout. Natural light fills every room.
The kitchen is built around a large breakfast bar with a waterfall peninsula, pendant lighting, quartz countertops, and intentional storage, including dedicated spice and pantry cabinets. Stainless steel appliances include a Monogram gas cooktop and a built-in microwave/convection oven. A barn door off the kitchen opens into the laundry room, with side-by-side washer and dryer and access to the rear yard.
Set at the back of the home, the primary suite is its own quiet retreat. A barn door leads to a large en suite bath with a walk-in tile shower and glass enclosure, tile flooring, a dual-faucet vanity, and a customized LED-lit mirror with clock. The second bedroom is generously sized, with chair rail detailing and designer paint, and shares access to the updated hall bath, finished with a shower-over-tub and designer tile. A linen closet completes the guest room wing.
Outside is where this property sets itself apart. The covered patio works as either covered parking or an outdoor lounge, and the back porch connects seamlessly from the kitchen access. At the rear, approximately 108 feet of direct frontage along Sausal Creek creates a secluded creekside oasis: a level of privacy and peacefulness that's almost impossible to find in Oakland. It's framed by mature greenery, the sound of moving water, and a backyard that feels like its own sanctuary. A detached garage adds storage, and secure rear parking for multiple cars is accessible via the driveway.
The lot itself, at nearly 16,000 square feet and zoned RM-3, also offers longer-term upside potential and flexibility for buyers who want to explore an ADU or other development options down the line; interested buyers should review current zoning provisions and do their own due diligence.
Just down the street, Dimond Park offers playgrounds, tennis courts, a pool, and picnic tables, and is full of life. Nearby restaurants and shops include Peet's Coffee, LaFarine Bakery, Grand Lake Kitchen - Dimond, Dimond Slice, Tomsa Sushi, and Farmer Joe's Market. Glenview, Montclair, and Laurel Districts, along with the hiking trails of Joaquin Miller Park, are all close by. A Walk Score of 93 and Bike Score of 78 capture how much of life here happens on foot or by bike, and Freeway 580 and Highway 13 provide easy connections across the Bay Area.
