About this property

1927 Arts and Crafts Mediterranean-Style 2 Bdrm 2 BA House

This 1927 Arts & Crafts Mediterranean-style house is wonderful for relaxing and for entertaining, with its.large livingroom and separate dining room (expandable table to seat c. 12). The kitchen is good-sized and well-equipped. A sunroom at the back is adjacent to a separate breakfast room with sliding glass door to cozy deck overlooking Asian-style landscaped, enclosed pocket garden. Master bedroom offers quiet air conditioning for sound sleeping. The second bedroom also works as a good-sized office with French doors opening onto a small balcony in front (this no doubt functioned as a sleeping porch 'back in the day').
The house is. nicely located: very close to Piedmont Avenue's restaurants and shops as well as the emerging "gourmet ghetto" in Oakland (either side of upper Broadway); just up from an expansive Whole Foods; just above Lake Merritt. The MacArthur BART station is not far away, and easy access to the 580 fwy puts San Francisco within easy reach and provides a really expeditious route to Berkeley as well as points South, without subjecting residents to fwy noise.

Keywords: well-located, fully equipped, beautifully detailed Arts and Crafts, air-conditioned sleeping.

Wonderful 2BR/2BA home in Oakland
Our family of 4 stayed a week in May for our daughter's graduation. It's a beautiful clean home, bright, nicely decorated, with great spaces, complete with appliances including W+D. Nice space for 4 people, with driveway parking, and easy access to the freeway. Near Lake Merritt, supermarket, cathedral and restaurants. Sandria was a helpful and responsive host. Although we arrived very late, check-in was easy via a lockbox. Highly recommended if staying in the Oakland/Berkeley area. If you're planning to work remotely, the WiFi was very slow.

Great house, great location
We have stayed in this house before and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Beautiful home, just as depicted, and great neighborhood for walking. Three grocery stores within 4-5 blocks and short walk to Lake Merritt. Perfect for us (retired couple) and our adult child and partner.

Wonderful find!
My mom and I stayed here while visiting my brother. The house is a gem! Decorated beautifully, has a large kitchen with everything we needed to prepare food. Every space was comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and located close to amenities. It is also located close to BART. There is a small driveway for parking if you have a car. I would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Academic (historian), long-time resident of the Bay Area who is only here part-time now. Third-generation Californian. Graduate of Mills College and UC Berkeley.

Why they chose this property

This is an exquisite example of Arts and Crafts architecture, which is my very favorite style. Growing up in California, I had always wanted to live in such a house.

What makes this property unique

The house is ideally located to take advantage of restaurants, theatre, opera and shopping in San Francisco, as well as similar offerings in Oakland and Berkeley. (Berkeley is only about a 10-minute drive away; San Francisco about twice that long, in non-commute times.) Having Lake Merritt so close makes it easy to picnic, walk around the lake, etc.
