Property Description
Welcome to 1538 16th Avenue, a charming early-1900s Oakland home where timeless character, enduring craftsmanship, and endless potential come together. From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, spacious layout, and classic architectural details that have stood the test of time. Offering solid bones and a functional floor plan, this residence presents the perfect opportunity to preserve its historic charm while adding your own personal style and modern updates. Situated on a shorter stretch of 16th Avenue directly across from the historic St. Anthony campus and church, the property enjoys a more open streetscape along with the added convenience of generous street parking directly in front of the home. The garage and expansive lower-level space provide exceptional flexibility for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future possibilities (buyer to investigate). Ideally located just minutes from Lake Merritt, parks, shopping, dining, public transportation, and major commuter routes, this home offers a rare blend of character, location, and unlimited potential. Whether you’re looking to restore a classic Oakland residence or create a home that’s uniquely your own, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Don’t miss your chance to own and reimagine an Oakland classic.
