Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1914, this property is described as 'thoughtfully refreshed' rather than fully renovated. While it features attractive original hardwood floors and fresh paint, the layout is outdated for a 2,300-square-foot home, offering four bedrooms but only one bathroom. The kitchen is functional but lacks modern gourmet upgrades, and the 'potential to add an additional bath' indicates that major functional improvements are still needed to meet current market standards for a home of this size.
The power of a traditional, larger-than-most single-family home in North Oakland is undeniable. This residence showcases timeless character inside and out, with an original interior that has been thoughtfully refreshed while honoring its classic design. From the moment you arrive, the broad, character-filled front door makes a striking statement rich in tradition. Offering over 2,300 square feet of living space, the home impresses with both size and flow. Large windows throughout allow sunlight to pour in, highlighting the stunning hardwood floors that shine across the entire home. An exceptionally wide staircase adds elegance and enhances the thoughtful layout. The first floor features a formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen, ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The second floor continues the strong layout with four generously sized bedrooms. The updated bathroom offers neutral finishes, ample space, and potential to add an additional bath. Located in a well-respected and welcoming area of North Oakland, the home is surrounded by walkable neighborhood retail, local restaurants, and friendly neighbors. All of this is found at 604 56th Street, Oakland, CA 94609—a timeless home in an exceptional location.
