Quintessential Queen Anne Victorian on a lovely closed end West Oakland street. Lots of classic details here to enjoy and a huge basement waiting to be developed. Just like your classic one level SF Victorian, this home has so many features you'll love. Tall Italianate windows, ornate and colorful exterior gables and trim, tall 10' ceilings and gorgeous interior moldings. This home has been lovingly restored and updated over the years including a newer roof, new central heat and a permitted deck off of the rear bedroom. The kitchen features stainless appliances, new cabinetry and quartz counters and bar area. Bedrooms are good size and bright with refreshed with new carpeting. Laundry is also on the main level. The backyard is surprisingly spacious with raised beds and an outdoor dining area. An unfinished lower level is awaiting your transformation into more living or studio space. Close to downtown Oakland, BART and transit, great central Oakland location.
