Park access meets city convenience in perfect harmony
Welcome to your Crocker Highlands haven, where one of Oakland's most beloved neighborhoods offers the perfect balance of space, comfort, and convenience. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits gracefully among mature trees with an outstanding WalkScore of 95, creating that rare combination of peaceful retreat and urban accessibility.
Ascend onto the charming front porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine while enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere. Then on to the heart of daily life in the large sunny living room, thoughtfully positioned away from street activity for maximum privacy. Custom built-in cabinets provide both storage and character, while the wood-burning fireplace becomes your cozy gathering spot during Oakland's foggy winter evenings. The space feels both intimate and expansive. Beautiful hardwood floors flow seamlessly from room to room, creating warmth and continuity.
The updated kitchen strikes just the right balance between function and style. Solid surface counters provide workspace for culinary adventures, while stainless steel appliances handle everything from quick weeknight dinners to elaborate weekend gatherings. The convenient eating area becomes your casual dining spot, and the adjacent dedicated laundry room keeps practical needs organized but accessible.
Here's where this home transforms from comfortable to extraordinary: your lovely, large backyard backs directly to Oak Grove Park and a scenic walking trail. No rear neighbors means absolute tranquility, while your private gateway to the park creates a peaceful nature connection and convenient access to highly-rated Crocker Highlands Elementary, making school commutes a storybook experience rather than a daily chore. Picture spring mornings in your garden and summer barbecues under the trees, then cozy fireplace evenings when winter returns. This home embraces every season beautifully.
Practical city living gets handled with a two-car garage featuring interior access, plus additional off-street parking spaces for guests or extra vehicles. The home’s perfect location and outstanding WalkScore of 95 mean Lakeshore Avenue's beloved shops, cafes, and restaurants lie within easy reach, all while maintaining the peaceful residential feel that makes Crocker Highlands so coveted. This isn't just about finding a house; it's about discovering a lifestyle that balances urban convenience with natural beauty, community connection with private sanctuary, and modern comfort with neighborhood charm.

Where Crocker Highlands charm meets Lakeshore Avenue energy
Crocker Highlands, once known for reliance on Key Line of electric trains, offers elegant examples of Tudor, Spanish, Arts and Crafts, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco period homes dating back to the 1920s. Notable homes were designed by architects Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck. Tree-lined streets and authentic street lamps from the 1920s are laid out along the rolling hills and frame spacious, manicured lawns in a neighborhood reminiscent of English garden suburbs.
Crocker Highlands is conveniently located near Interstate 580, and AC Transit bus lines serve the neighborhood. Residents can access parks, shops, and restaurants in the nearby Lakeshore, Grand Lake, and Glenview neighborhoods.
