About this home

Two charming Craftsman homes on one lot! This rare Longfellow property offers an exceptional opportunity for house hacking, multi-generational living, rental income potential, or simply the flexibility of two separate residences. Live in one while renting the other, or take advantage of the many possibilities this unique configuration provides. Each home has its own private entrance, front porch, separately metered utilities, and dedicated laundry, with a lovely shared patio connecting the two residences. Thoughtfully updated while retaining their original character, both homes feature remodeled kitchens and baths, hardwood floors, original built-ins, and period architectural details. The rear home includes a brand-new mini-split heat pump for heating and cooling, a spacious private enclosed patio ideal for outdoor living or a container garden, plus a bonus loft-attic offering additional flexible-use space. Beneath the front home, abundant storage and garage space provide even more versatility and potential for future use or expansion. Ideally situated near Temescal, Rockridge, and Emeryville, with convenient access to shops, restaurants, cafés, MacArthur BART, UC Berkeley, Downtown Oakland, San Francisco, and major commute routes. Rated a Walker’s and Biker’s Paradise by WalkScore.com. Two distinct homes, inviting outdoor spaces, Craftsman character, and remarkable flexibility make 870 & 872 43rd Street a truly special Oakland opportunity.
