A 1920s Spanish charmer with real bones and real potential-- This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home carries all the character you'd hope for from its era: arched details, warm stucco, and a layout built for real living. While it is totally livable now, it’s begging for someone with a design eye to come in and really make it shine. Fabulous natural light pours through every room, hardwood floors run underneath, and the kitchen has the kind of space you rarely find in a home this size. The bedrooms are generously sized, there's a dedicated laundry room, and a bonus room behind that which could become an office, a mud room, or whatever you need it to be.* Outside, the large backyard is its own reward: two detached sheds for storage or projects, mature fruit trees, and plenty of landscape to grow into. A handful of updates over the years give you a head start, but the real opportunity here is yours to shape. Roberts Ave sits in that pocket of the Oakland hills, just south of Maxwell Park and just north of Millsmont.

A handful of updates over the years give you a head start, but the real opportunity here is yours to shape. Roberts Ave sits in that pocket of the Oakland hills, just south of Maxwell Park and just north of Millsmont, where 1920s bungalows and Spanish-style homes line the streets. Grab a coffee at Oakland's Grind on Seminary, swing by Fong's Cafe on Foothill for old-school breakfast, and you're just minutes from 580 for an easy commute. It's a neighborhood where the architecture tells a story and the people tend to stay a while. Come see the possibility for yourself. *Buyer to verify use of space. Agent nor seller verify or guarantee information regarding use, development or expansion.
