Description

There are homes that witness history, and then there are homes that survive it, waiting patiently for the day someone decides they're worth saving. If you've ever said, I want a home with character, '' congratulations, this one has been building it since the 1850s. This circa-1850s Victorian in West Oakland has been brought back with uncommon care. Once in visible disrepair, it has been meticulously renovated, updated, and restored by its current owner - honoring the craftsmanship of another century while rebuilding the home for the realities of this one. The result is both timeless and surprisingly modern: new walls, upgraded insulation, and double-pane windows that create an interior that is unexpectedly quiet and comfortable. The home is now a two-unit residence (duplex) - a configuration that speaks to the way people live today. The upper unit offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, complemented by a fourth room behind French doors for a private office, library or studio, a flexible space that makes the home feel larger and more livable. With 11+ foot ceilings and generous light, the rooms carry the scale of the Victorian era while meeting modern needs. The lower unit is a legal 2-bedroom/1-bath ADU, thoughtfully finished and well-scaled. Ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or income that supports ownership. Outside, the backyard becomes its own small retreat: a stone patio off the lower level, an upper deck above, and a garden space ready for your next chapter. Enjoy more planting, more entertaining, more life. And at street level, a rare urban asset anchors it all: a tall, oversized garage with room for multiple vehicles, storage, and the height to accommodate larger trucks (yes, the F-150 should fit). Just north of Mandela Parkway, born from Oakland's post-earthquake reinventionthis home stands as a reminder that restoration isn't just about materials. It's about believing that what came before can still be beautiful, useful, and worth passing forward.
