Behind a white picket fence in Oakland’s Redwood Heights, this upgraded 2BD/1BA bungalow (with over-sized detached garage) is a jewel box that lives large. From its charming neighborly porch, the 896 SQFT home welcomes you into a sunny and spacious main living and dining area with multiple windows. New recessed lighting and hardwood floors span into the adjacent eat-in kitchen that has been stylishly renovated, embracing the home’s vintage tiling, counters, and cabinetry while adding a designer refrigerator, stove, and hood. You can enjoy your morning coffee in the bright breakfast nook with its picture window to the backyard or step through the backdoor for easy indoor/outdoor living. Outside, there’s room to entertain friends, play in the yard, or garden. The refurbished garage offers not only laundry hook-ups, parking, and storage, but also a finished area that’s ready as a studio or office. Back inside, two bedrooms share a chic new bathroom with gorgeous lighting, fixtures, and tiling. Both bedrooms feature large built-in wardrobes with drawers and closets. Your commute is easy with a long driveway, the transbay bus, and nearby 580. Out your front door, find local shops and dining, miles of trails in the East Bay parks nearby, and Northeastern Univ./Mills College.
