Charming with modern flair, light-filled, updated NOBE single family house.

Bright open floor plan, skylights, large, west facing kitchen with peaceful and private yard. Greeted by a south facing front porch. Inside is a welcoming entryway - plenty of space for coats and bikes. Tastefully updated kitchen with ceasarstone countertops, bar style seating - built-in area for washer and dryer - the perfect place for social cooking and family meals. High ceilings abound and all the windows are dual pane. Large bedroom has a spacious closet offering plenty of storage as does the accessible attic above. A Dwell-like bathroom with claw foot tub surrounded by traditional wainscoting, and a custom block-glass window.
Outside are two west facing custom redwood decks – native plantings, and an active veggie garden.
Located just west of MLK – 51st St is close to MacArthur BART, the transbay bus to S.F., a short walking stroll to Temescal restaurants, and West St has a protected Bike Lane that allows for quick access to the thriving downtown Oakland scene.
