Contractor’s Special – bring your vision! This is a rare opportunity to transform this 1933 Mediterranean home. Located in the highly sought after Maxwell Park neighborhood which is known for its strong sense of community and friendly neighbors. Offering original architectural detail, generous spaces, and tremendous potential for contractors, renovators & investors to create something uniquely their own. The light-filled living room and dining room feature a coved ceiling, random-plank hardwood floors, and beautiful arches. The vintage kitchen and adjoining breakfast room with built-in cabinets offers a glimpse of the home’s original charm. The lower level provides a bonus room, laundry room, basement for storage, and interior access to the attached two-car garage – a valuable combination of space, storage, and flexibility. Step outside to a large patio and spacious backyard just waiting to be landscaped and transformed into your own garden retreat, entertaining space, or outdoor oasis. The Back patio is adjacent to the side of Melrose Leadership Academy, on Brann Street, a popular public school serving TK-8th grade students in Oakland. Conveniently located close to AC and BART, easy access to 580 and 13 freeways. Just minutes away from great shopping, restaurants and the beautiful Mills College/Northeastern campus.
