This is one of the most beautifully remodeled Victorians I’ve seen in a very long time.
1709 Myrtle is a true standout—a rare blend of classic 1800s character and thoughtful modern updates. The home has been meticulously maintained and feels like a...
love letter to its original era, from the ornate millwork to the grand front façade.
One of my favorite spaces is the top-floor room, which I call the meditation room—it’s peaceful, light-filled, and has beautiful views. The kitchen is another highlight: spacious, inviting, and overlooking both the lush backyard and a charming detached casita—perfect for guests, a studio, or a private office.
This is a must-see Victorian gem that truly captures the soul of West Oakland.
