Although originally built in 1957, the property has undergone extensive recent renovations that place it in mint condition. Key updates include a brand-new roof and washer/dryer (2026), a fully remodeled kitchen with modern cabinetry and stone counters, and two updated full bathrooms with contemporary tile work. The home also features newer windows, fresh interior paint, and well-maintained radiant floor heating, meeting the criteria for a high-quality renovation completed within the last 5 years.
The property features two expansive, newly refreshed decks that offer breathtaking, panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline, significantly enhancing its value as a hillside retreat.
With a brand-new roof, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and updated windows, the home offers a move-in-ready experience with major capital improvements already completed for the next owner.
A generous downstairs area with a separate entrance and kitchenette provides excellent flexibility for a home office, guest suite, or potential rental income, adding functional square footage.
While the local elementary school is highly rated, the assigned high schools in the district have lower performance scores, which may impact long-term appeal for some families.
The property features a carport and off-street parking rather than a fully enclosed garage, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking maximum security or additional enclosed storage.
Tucked into the hills of Oakland's beloved Joaquin Miller neighborhood, just off Brunell Drive, this 2,107 square-foot* home has been in one family since it was built by hand in the 1950s, a labor of love. Craftsmanship and pride show in every detail, starting with the solid redwood construction that gives the home its warmth and lasting quality. The current owner has thoughtfully updated the home for modern living, including a remodeled kitchen, two updated full bathrooms, and newer windows. Major systems are freshly done too, with a brand-new roof and new washer/dryer, both installed in 2026, meaning years of worry-free living for the next owner. Open Sunday, September 6th from 2-4pm. Step inside to an open layout from living to dining spaces with a wall of windows facing the Bay. Exposed beams and a brick fireplace add a cozy, rustic feel, and radiant floor heating provides comfortable, even warmth throughout. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while a generous downstairs bonus space with its own separate entrance, kitchenette, and a half bath is ideal for a home office, studio, guest suite, or extended-family living (and easily expandable into a full bath with shower for even more flexibility).** The entire interior has been freshly painted, offering a clean, move-in-ready canvas for its next chapter. Step outside to not one but two painted and power-washed decks, upper and lower, both framing expansive, jaw-dropping views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline. Whether it's morning coffee or evening wine, these are the kind of views that make a house feel like a retreat. Also includes off-street parking and a carport. Beyond your door: the trails, redwoods, and open space of Joaquin Miller Park and the surrounding Oakland hills, offering a peaceful, nature-close lifestyle just minutes from city conveniences. A rare chance to own a piece of Oakland history — thoughtfully updated, solidly built, and ready for new memories, with a view to match. Open Sunday, September 6th from 2-4pm.
