Welcome to this timeless beauty on a lovely tree lined street in North Oakland. This 3 Bed and 1 Bath home is south facing with clapboard, redwood siding, and large bay windows. The formal living room and dining room have tall, coved ceilings, charming flat panel wainscoting, and a set of pocket doors. Plus, a fireplace and built in hutch. Off the dining area is the kitchen with newer modern appliances a stone countertop. East light filters through a set of windows. Near the kitchen is a door that accesses yard and basement areas. Each of the 3 bedrooms is unique from the other, but they all share substantial natural light. The rear bedroom looks out onto a fragrant wisteria vine. So much to love in the big, updated bathroom with its detailed tilework, a true soaking tub, plus walk in shower. Outside is a refuge. Stunning flowers, sweet smells of verbenas, ferns, trumpet flowers, fruit trees, to name a bit of the variety that is found in this paradise. In the rear section of the yard is a cozy patio. Also, there is a detached "garden casita" the spot for creative projects or game night. The driveway in front delivers ample off street parking. This gem on 56th Street is the perfect Oakland location as it is adjacent to bike lanes, local parks, food options and MacArthur BART.
