Enjoy the best of both worlds in this large King Estates home, where classic architectural charm meets modern upgrades. Nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood in the hills with views of the Bay, this gem shines from the bright, fresh landscaping, to the gleaming hardwood flooring throughout. Adorned with a covered front porch, the inside welcomes with wide, arched openings offering an easy flow between two large living rooms, an updated eat in kitchen with granite counter tops, and dining that opens to the expansive outdoor area. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms surround a spacious landing and the primary, with its sparkling en suite bathroom and soaking tub, looks out to the Bay and beyond. Full sized closets ensure plenty of storage. A paved patio leads to a sprawling back yard- your personal park, or future location of an ADU. Only minutes from 13 & 580, a short drive to BART and the beloved zoo, this home is a retreat from it all, while staying closely connected to the heart of Oakland.
