Timeless charm meets light-filled urban sanctuary in this classic shingled Craftsman in the heart of vibrant West Oakland. Walkable to local favorites like Prescott Market, Ghost Town Brewery, and the Baller’s homefield, this spacious two-bedroom home offers character, comfort, and versatility. Inside, enjoy original architectural details throughout, including hardwood floors, and a spacious kitchen with walk-in pantry, ideal for entertaining. A classic Jack-and-Jill bathroom connects both bedrooms, and a convenient half bath sits just off the kitchen. The enclosed sunroom —perfect for lounging, working from home, or creative use—overlooks a large, private backyard with mature landscaping, a spacious patio for entertaining, and room to garden or play. Downstairs features a mudroom, a laundry room, and two versatile bonus rooms—plus an attached garage with ample storage or workshop potential. With its thoughtful layout, bonus spaces, and rare sense of indoor-outdoor sanctuary, 2002 Chestnut is a true West Oakland gem just minutes from downtown, BART, and freeway access.
The charm in this home almost sweeped me off my feet, and made me fell down the stairs! Lovely Bugalow style home with lots of original touches, built-ins and box beams. Don't let the square footage fool you because it has a great layout and a...
sunroom that was added on at some point. Great place to catch some rays, but with your clothes on since it's not completely private. Interior staircase leads to more storage + washer/dryer room downstairs as well as 2 more bonus rooms that open up to the attached garage. Backyard is amazing, and perfect for someone that loves to landscape or has a green thumb, but not like in the infected you should get that looked at way. This house is a must see!!
