Description

Perched atop the hill in Highland Terrace, among the Queen Annes it was built alongside, this Victorian has been lovingly held for more than forty years – and it shows in every corner. Set above the street behind a graceful staircase, it offers privacy and presence from the moment you arrive, with views of downtown Oakland, the port cranes, and the horizon beyond. Step inside, and the details keep unfolding. The light-filled living room, anchored by bay windows, opens effortlessly into the dining room. Tucked between the kitchen and dining room, one of the home’s most delightful surprises: a charming peekaboo pass-through. Send a dish through to the table, keep an eye on guests while you cook, or close it up as the most characterful storage cabinet on the block. The kitchen blends thoughtful updates with period character. Two sun-filled bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, where an enchanting claw-foot tub feels like something out of another era (because it is). A half bath and butler’s pantry with laundry lead out to the back deck and an expansive yard. Downstairs, a complete second living space: living room, adorable eating nook, full kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and a flexible bonus room. Whether rental income or multigenerational living – it’s a rare and valuable offering. Outside, a level patio made for long evenings, and beyond a gate, a small urban farm in the making – vegetable beds, a mini fruit orchard, and a chicken coop ready for your flock. Enjoy mature fruit trees including Orange, Lemon, Lime, Fig, Pomegranate, Apple, Persimmon, Apricot, Prickly Pair and Kumquat! A long driveway runs along the side of the home, and storage is generous throughout, the way it was in an era when homes were built to last. A century of charm, preserved down to the last detail.
