Warm, bright, and thoughtfully redesigned over time, 1337 Excelsior Ave is a charming Glenview home where carefully chosen modern improvements complement the home's original character. The owners have made substantial upgrades over the years with an emphasis on quality materials, durability, and everyday comfort. Hardwood floors run throughout the light-filled interior, while the kitchen and bathroom have been fully renovated with clean, timeless finishes. Behind the scenes, complete electrical improvements add modern functionality, and an owned rooftop solar system, a new mini-split heat pump for heating and cooling, new double-paned windows, and improved insulation work together to keep the home comfortable, quiet, and energy-efficient throughout the seasons. The backyard feels like a natural extension of the living space, with a newly built deck and steps that lead to an inviting setting for outdoor meals, gatherings, and relaxed afternoons. A lush, fruiting passion fruit vine and a mature lemon tree add greenery, shade, and a distinctly California feel. A clean, spacious garage adds abundant space for a home gym or practical storage area for bikes, tools, outdoor gear, and the things that make day-to-day life easier to organize. The home's efficient layout makes excellent use of every square foot, creating a comfortable, manageable footprint without sacrificing storage or outdoor space. Between the well-planned interior, generous garage, and usable backyard, the home lives larger than its square footage suggests. Set in the heart of Glenview, it's just a short stroll to the shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday conveniences along Park Boulevard. Zoned for highly ranked and desirable Oakland schools, this is a rare opportunity to own a warm, light-filled home that perfectly captures the best of East Bay living.

$928,000

Set between Park Boulevard and Dimond Park, this two-bedroom bungalow pairs original craftsmanship with the warmth and character of a well-loved home. Carefully tended over many years, the drought-tolerant front garden sets an elegant tone, drawing butterflies, birds, and bees and giving the stately five-sided bay window a peaceful view as neighbors stroll by. Sit a while to have a quiet chat on the generous and private front porch over morning coffee or as the sun sets. Inside, natural light moves easily through the living and dining rooms, bringing the inlaid hardwood floors and original woodwork to life. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, while the dining room - with its original gumwood paneling, built-in sideboards, and generous windows with clathri metalwork - feels especially warm and inviting. An updated kitchen with generous space and abundant cabinetry offers plenty of room to cook, gather, and share meals. Two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom thoughtfully updated to complement the home’s original character round out the well-planned layout. A generous linen cabinet and roomy closets provide ample storage throughout. In back, the level yard hosts established California native plantings and a trio of mature Japanese maple trees, creating a private setting for outdoor dining, gardening, or unwinding in the sun. A detached flex space expands the possibilities, offering potential as a playroom, home office, creative studio, or guest cottage. Dating to 1916 and featured on an Oakland Heritage Alliance tour, this home has retained the craftsmanship that makes Glenview bungalows so beloved. Within walking distance of Glenview Elementary School, the cafés, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites along Park Boulevard, as well as Dimond Park, Lions Pool, Sausal Creek, and the trails into Dimond Canyon, this is a home that feels connected - to nature, to community, and to the best of Oakland living.
