4722 Meldon Ave, Oakland, CA 94619

Located on one of the historic streets in Maxwell park, this 1927 bungalow blends vintage character with thoughtful updates and an inviting, easygoing floor plan. A formal entry opens to a light-filled living room with its original fireplace, or to the dining room through handsome wood French doors. Throughout, charming built-ins and alcoves add personality and practical storage, while a distinctive rolling louvered sunshade-created for HGTV's Curb Appeal-is a delightful bit of the home's history. The charming kitchen is warm and functional, with plentiful cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook beneath pendant lighting. Travertine floors bring an earthy note, while mostly new lighting and interior paint give the home a fresh, considered feel. Two bedrooms share a classically updated bath with black-and-white basketweave tile, white subway tile, and a shower-over-tub. The primary bedroom feels especially inviting, with a generous closet and a quiet sense of retreat. On the lower level, a finished bonus room offers wonderfully flexible space for a home office, art studio, workout room, or creative hideaway, along with laundry and interior access to the garage. A glass door opens directly to the fully fenced garden, where a patio and artificial lawn create an easy setting for outdoor dining and lounging. With a one-car garage, off-street parking, and basement storage, this is a home that balances charm with the conveniences of modern life-and makes everyday living feel just a little more special. The location is wonderful, with easy access to the shops of Oakland's Laurel District, nearby parks, and a quick freeway connection that makes getting to SF simple.
