About this Property
Stylish and updated California bungalow nestled on a quiet tree lined street in the heart of Rockridge. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a rare find for creative souls and design lovers alike. Blending original charm with inspired modern updates. Professionally designed with custom touches throughout, including original hardwood floors, built-ins, custom lighting from Coup D’Etat, and designer hardware by Lenny Kravitz Design. The updated kitchen is a joyful fusion of retro and modern with Big Chill appliances, red quartz countertops, and a one-of-a-kind backsplash made from repurposed skateboards. The bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, including a spa-like walk-in shower and soaking tub. French doors open to the spacious deck and private brick patio—perfect for outdoor dining, creative gatherings, or simply soaking in the serenity. The lush landscaping designed and maintained by Homestead Design Collective completes the scene. A detached shed adds practical storage space, and the long driveway offers convenient off-street parking. With a 93 Walk Score (per WalkScore.com), you’re just minutes to College Ave shops, beloved cafes, top-rated restaurants, and Rockridge BART. A unique and inspiring home in one of Oakland’s most desirable neighborhoods.
