About this home

Classic Art Deco-Inspired Home in the Heart of Maxwell Park: Architecturally distinctive and thoughtfully maintained, this classic Art Deco-inspired residence with Streamline Moderne influences blends timeless Oakland character with the confidence of meaningful stewardship. Defined by clean stucco lines, geometric forms, and understated architectural details, the home reflects an era when neighborhoods were built to last. Fresh exterior improvements, professionally refreshed landscaping, horizontal fencing, and inviting curb appeal create a warm first impression. Inside, natural light fills the living spaces through replacement windows, offering a comfortable floor plan that balances charm, functionality, and flexibility. Significant investments have already been completed, including extensive permitted foundation and drainage improvements, replacement windows, sewer compliance, and a previously replaced roof. These improvements allow the next owner to focus less on major infrastructure and more on making the home uniquely their own. Located in the heart of Maxwell Park, one of Oakland's most desirable neighborhoods, you'll enjoy tree-lined streets and distinctive architecture while remaining just minutes from Highways 580 and 880, providing convenient access to Downtown Oakland, San Francisco, the South Bay, Walnut Creek, Marin County, Wine Country, and Sacramento. For buyers looking to establish themselves in one of Oakland's most desirable neighborhoods, this home presents a compelling opportunity. Much of the significant infrastructure investment has already been completed, allowing the next owner to focus on thoughtful cosmetic updates over time. Rather than paying a premium for someone else's design choices, you'll have the opportunity to personalize the home, build equity, and create a space that reflects your own vision. Classic Oakland architecture, meaningful improvements, and an opportunity to write the next chapter of a well-cared-for home.
