Property Description
A Secret Garden Cottage with Artistic Soul. Storybook cottage with flexible living, garage, and ADU potential tucked at the end of a private street just blocks from the Laurel's top amenities! This ultra special property lives like a 2-bedroom alternative with a 1BR main home plus loft and detached studio, offering approx. 1,003 total usable square feet (746 sf main house + 111 sf loft + 146 sf detached studio). Surrounded by lush, curated landscaping recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, the home feels like a private retreat with multiple outdoor spaces, fruit trees, and a serene, garden setting. Inside, the light-filled living room features vaulted redwood ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace. The updated kitchen blends vintage charm with modern touches including new countertops, backsplash, refrigerator, and a classic O'Keefe & Merritt stove. Custom designer flooring by Laurie Crogan flows into a sunny breakfast room with adjacent laundry. The main bedroom opens to a refinished redwood deck through French doors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A loft above the living room provides flexible space for a guest area, office, or creative retreat, with built-in storage below. The detached studio (146 sf) attached to the one-car garage offers exceptional versatility and potential for future ADU conversion, ideal for guests, workspace, or extended living. Additional features include updated bath with soaking tub, dual pane windows, refinished oak floors, skylights, on-demand water heater, new interior and exterior paint, and system upgrades including copper plumbing and sewer compliance. Located just blocks to the Laurel District's vibrant amenities including Cafe Santana, The Saint Sandwich Shop, Bombera, Jo's Modern Thai, Degrees Plato, and Pineapple Whips, with easy access to Redwood Regional Park/Leona Canyon trails, Mills College, and the Oakland Zoo. A rare blend of charm, flexibility, privacy, and potential in one of Oakland's most beloved neighborhoods.
