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.

Fall in love with this charming Spanish Colonial Revival home, a private retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Warm and gracefully nostalgic, this distinctive 1938 home lives with the kind of ease and calm that’s hard to find.

Inside, find original built-ins among new wood flooring and a new sliding door that brings light into the living room, plus a lower level offering flexible bonus space. Outdoor spaces extend across multiple levels, including a wraparound deck, lower deck, and private balcony off the primary suite.
