3631 Lyon Ave

Tucked along the border of Oakland’s Allendale and Harrington neighborhoods, this charming California Bungalow offers a warm blend of classic character and thoughtful updates, along with a versatile ADU* for added flexibility—all set on a generous 5,500 square foot lot**.

The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 updated bath, filled with natural light that highlights its inviting, move-in-ready interiors. The eat-in kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with timeless details, including Heath tile accents, a beloved Wedgewood stove, and a new (2026) dishwasher—creating a space that feels both functional and full of personality. The fireplace with matching Heath tile hearth adds to the home’s classic appeal, while vinyl windows and newer central A/C and furnace provide modern comfort year-round.

Out back, a fully fenced and beautifully landscaped yard offers a peaceful retreat. Mature plantings include apple, avocado, fig, Meyer lemon, and a young lime tree, along with a passion fruit vine draped over a pergola, raspberry bushes, and blooming flowers throughout. The spacious patio beneath the pergola is ideal for outdoor dining or simply relaxing while enjoying the steady presence of local birds that come to enjoy it. A drip irrigation system helps keep the garden thriving with ease.

The detached ADU, complete with a full bath, kitchenette, and its own split unit for heating and cooling, provides excellent potential for guests, a home office, or any possibilities you can imagine.*

Additional highlights include a new foundation with seismic retrofit and a garage with tandem off-street parking. Conveniently located with easy access to Fruitvale BART, I-580, Joaquin Miller Park, and the shops and amenities along Fruitvale Avenue.

Thoughtfully updated and well cared for, the home is truly move-in ready. Whether settling in, expanding into the ADU, or simply enjoying the indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this property offers a rare combination of ease and possibility in a well-connected Oakland setting.
