An 1885 Victorian, Ready for Its Next Act 

Built in 1885, this Pill Hill Victorian with a little love is excited to take center stage once again. Mature elms frame the façade, and the warm glow of the stained-glass front door and bay window welcomes you in. Inside, tall ceilings and generous doorways lead from a gracious entry to a sun-filled living room wrapped in original trim and molding. At the back of the house, the kitchen opens through large glass French doors to a deck and the garden beyond, a natural spot for morning coffee and long summer dinners.

The home offers 4 bedrooms** and 1.5 baths**: three bedrooms and a half bath upstairs, plus a bedroom, laundry, and a full bath with beadboard wainscoting downstairs. A large basement adds plentiful storage, and the front and back gardens are ready for someone to bring them back to life. With approx. 2,188 sq. ft.* on a 4,290 sq. ft.* lot, this is a rare chance to restore a true Oakland original and make it your own.

Step outside and you're in one of Oakland's most walkable pockets. Uptown's restaurants and the Fox and Paramount theaters, Lake Merritt, Mosswood Park, and Whole Foods are all within about a mile, and both 19th St. and MacArthur BART are an easy walk or bike ride away.
