This 48th Avenue Craftsman Bungalow in Oakland, CA: 1915 Character, Remodeled Kitchen, Deck for Sunsets

A 1915 Craftsman bungalow with the details old-house lovers look for: a covered front porch, low-pitched gables with exposed rafter tails, and a stucco façade set behind a private gate on a sunny, level lot with generous parking.

Inside, beautifully restored original hardwood floors with an inlaid border run through the home. The living room centers on a fireplace with a dark wood mantel, flanked by stained glass windows and built-in bookcases. A formal dining room with a built-in hutch opens through a beamed archway to the living room.

The kitchen pairs sage-green cabinetry and a custom butcher-block island with new appliances and a greenhouse window over the sink. It opens to an expansive deck with views of the surrounding hills. A bungalow bonus room offers flexible space for a studio, home office or movie nights, and the unfinished basement adds storage and possibility.

The grounds are a gardener’s dream, with established fruit trees, edible and flowering plants, a custom chicken coop and a newly built backyard studio shed.

Updates have been made without losing the home’s character: fresh interior paint, new lighting, copper plumbing, refreshed bathrooms (one with a clawfoot tub), new fencing and a roof from 2018. Minutes from schools, neighborhood parks and Oakland’s Laurel District, with easy access to Alameda.
