Property Description

Welcome to 836 20th Street in West Oakland, a beautifully maintained property that reflects years of thoughtful ownership and care. Encompassing 2,444 square feet, including a versatile lower-level bonus unit, the property features two spacious 3BD/1BA units, each exceeding 1,200 square feet. The upper unit showcases classic Edwardian architectural details, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The lower unit, currently owner-occupied, offers a comfortable living space and will be delivered vacant at close of escrow, providing flexibility for a variety of uses. Over the years, the owner has completed numerous meaningful improvements, including upgrades to the HVAC and electrical systems, selective plumbing and flooring updates, remodeled bathrooms, new windows, roof, interior and exterior paint, and the addition of a French drain with sump pump. The garage is functional and offers potential for enhanced utility. The private backyard garden and patio are a true highlight, featuring an impressive collection of established edible plants. Ideally located less than a mile from both Prescott Market and Downtown Oakland, this property combines character, comfort, and convenience in one compelling offering.
