4350 Detroit Ave, Oakland, CA 94619

On the market for the first time in over 50 years is this light-filled 1940’s split level gem. A touch of New England with its glorious fall color from the tree-lined cul-de-sac sets the stage for a warm and welcoming retreat just a few blocks from the heart of the neighborhood… the local elementary school and community center. Deco finishes including rounded corners and glass panels add drama to newly refinished light wide-plank floors. A brick pathway leads to a large front patio, the perfect perch to hang out to greet neighbors and watch a fall sunset. The foyer opens to a light-filled living room with picture window and dramatic curved fireplace. Bullnose corners soften the transition to the intimate dining room, enhancing the flow between the public spaces. The eat-in kitchen enjoys light from a picture window and skylight and features a 5-burner gas range with separate griddle, Subzero refrigerator and counter seating. Up a few steps are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath including a jetted tub for two, walk-in shower and 2 vanities.  The private backyard enjoys a level lawn area for play, mature citrus and a flagstone patio. Urban conveniences are at your fingertips with Peets Coffee, CVS and Safeway a 1/2 mile away.
