Rebuilt by the contractor-owner with permits in 2007 and just a few blocks from the Temescal Farmers Market, this sweet cottage is a hidden gem. Double doors from the garden welcome you into the bright living room and open kitchen. Down the hall, you'll find an updated bathroom, spacious bedroom, plus an additional room with laundry that serves as the perfect home office or guest space. Upstairs is a peaceful primary suite with an ensuite bath and a spacious balcony where you can enjoy the sunshine. Outside, spend the afternoon growing veggies in the raised garden beds or reading a book on the patio. Off-street parking for multiple cars. Situated in desirable North Oakland, you're less than half a mile to Whole Foods, Bakesale Betty, Marufuku Ramen and so much more! Commuting is a breeze with convenient access to both the freeway and BART. This is a unique standalone site-condo that lives more like a single-family home. No monthly HOA dues! It shares only water/sewer with the front house and all other utilities are separate. Come see this urban retreat, perfectly poised for comfort and convenience.
