In West Oakland, a neighborhood shaped by resilience and renewal Victorian homes still stand as reminders of another century. Many remain. Few are restored with such precision that they feel almost archival. This circa-1850s Victorian, revived with uncommon care and modernized for 2026, belongs in that rarified group. Today, the property lives as a single-family residence with a legal ADU. A configuration that honors the idea of home'' while offering the practical flexibility modern life demands. The main home welcomes you with 11-foot ceilings and a sense of volume that changes the way a room feels more light, more air, more calm. Hardwood floors carry the warmth forward. At the center is a custom chef's kitchen, open to the living and dining spaces, so the act of cooking remains part of the conversation. With a gas cooktop and built-in chef's oven, it's designed for daily life and the gatherings that mark it meals shared, stories told, friends lingering long after the plates are cleared. A small fourth room behind French doors offers a private corner for a home office, library, studio, nursery space that can shift as seasons change. Beyond the interior, the rear upper deck looks over a backyard newly set with pavers, made for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, and it turns east toward the Oakland Hills, where the light shifts across the day. Downstairs, the legal ADU was built as a very large studio apartment, yet its size and layout allow it to be easily used as a two-bedroom. It can serve as rental income, an in-law suite, a guest retreat, or a private space for long-term visitors. Two sliding doors open directly to the backyard, drawing the outdoors in. And, as in the main home, quality was not reserved for one level: the ADU includes a gas cooktop and built-in chef's oven. A large garage adds rare practicality room for multiple vehicles, storage, and even a larger truck, protected from weather and sun. In the garage there are two tankless water heaters. One for each unit. Around it, the neighborhood offers access: BART nearby (a 12-minute walk), freeways close, and easy routes to San Francisco, the Peninsula, or Walnut Creek. The West Oakland Library is within a 15-minute walk, and a broad mix of schools lies close by. This is a home that carries its history forward restored, flexible, and ready for what comes next.
