Tons of space in this West Oakland home. I loved the neighborhood and street, with lots of trees, and walking distance from BART. Liquefaction is apparent because the floors are not exactly leveled all across on the inside and bathrooms, but it adds...
to the quirkiness and it being a 120+ year old house. Nice parking lot out front with side access to the backyard. There is no interior access to yard.. but all good in the hood!
