About this home
There are homes that witness history, and then there are homes that survive it, waiting patiently for the day someone decides they're worth saving. If you've ever said, I want a home with character,'' congratulations, this one has been building it since the 1850s. This circa-1850s Victorian in West Oakland has been brought back with uncommon care. Once in visible disrepair, it has been meticulously renovated, updated, and restored by its current owner - honoring the craftsmanship of another century while rebuilding the home for the realities of this one. The result is both timeless and surprisingly modern: new walls, upgraded insulation, and double-pane windows that create an interior that is unexpectedly quiet and comfortable. The home is now a two-unit residence (duplex) - a configuration that speaks to the way people live today. The upper unit offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, complemented by a fourth room behind French doors for a private office, library or studio, a flexible space that makes the home feel larger and more livable. With 11+ foot ceilings and generous light, the rooms carry the scale of the Victorian era while meeting modern needs. The lower unit is a legal 2-bedroom/1-bath ADU, thoughtfully finished and well-scaled. Ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or income that supports ownership. Outside, the backyard becomes its own small retreat: a stone patio off the lower level, an upper deck above, and a garden space ready for your next chapter. Enjoy more planting, more entertaining, more life. And at street level, a rare urban asset anchors it all: a tall, oversized garage with room for multiple vehicles, storage, and the height to accommodate larger trucks (yes, the F-150 should fit). Just north of Mandela Parkway, born from Oakland's post-earthquake reinventionthis home stands as a reminder that restoration isn't just about materials. It's about believing that what came before can still be beautiful, useful, and worth passing forward.
