Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Despite the 1925 build date, the property has undergone a high-quality recent renovation (<5 years). The kitchen features new countertops and modern stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom is fully updated with contemporary fixtures and tile work. The interior shows mint-condition hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout, making it completely move-in ready with no immediate maintenance required.
This 1925 home preserves its historic charm through original tile fireplaces, arched front windows, and built-in cabinetry, offering a level of craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal highly valued in the Oakland market.
The property includes a detached unit and an expansive attic, providing significant 'value-add' potential for a home office, art studio, or future living space expansion.
Situated minutes from Dimond Park and local favorites, the home offers an excellent balance of neighborhood amenities and easy freeway access for a convenient commute.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration may be a constraint for growing families or buyers seeking a primary suite, potentially limiting the property's appeal compared to multi-bath homes.
While the local elementary schools are well-rated, the assigned middle and high schools have lower ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
Welcome to 3215 Fruitvale Ave, built in 1925 and brimming with character. The spacious living room is bathed in natural light, anchored by the stunning original tile fireplace and beautiful arched front windows. The generous dining room and breakfast room feature original built-in cabinets. The refreshed kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new countertops and appliances. Off the kitchen, you’ll find a laundry room and convenient access to the backyard. A hallway off the dining room leads to two sizable bedrooms and an updated bathroom. Outside, the detached unit is a blank canvas - imagine it as your dream office, gym, art studio, or additional storage. There’s even more potential in the attic, ready for your vision. The backyard is a retreat with vibrant greenery, perfect for entertaining. To top it all off, the location is unbeatable- nestled near some of the area’s most beloved spots and minutes from Dimond Park. Plus, with easy freeway access, your commute is a breeze.
