Remarks

Unlock incredible upside potential at 956 53rd St. This North Oakland Queen Anne cottage preserves its vintage character while serving as the ultimate canvas for a custom remodel. Dramatic 10-foot ceilings and tall windows maximize natural light throughout the layout. A full footprint, high-ceiling basement offers possible build-out potential for additional living space or a lucrative ADU. Major big-ticket items are already checked off: the home features a newer concrete foundation, new sewer lateral and upgraded copper plumbing to the meter. Unmatched commuter location central to three BART stations (MacArthur, Ashby, Rockridge) with immediate access to Temescal, Berkeley, and regional freeways. Walk Score: 84 | Bike Score: 89. Bring your contractor and vision to this high-demand neighborhood!
