This large and freshly painted two story building is defined as a multi-use property, and spans an entire block. Especially well located at 4900 Bancroft Avenue in Oakland, it stands ready to offer a wide variety of potential uses to a new owner.
It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 3000 sf of living space.
There are also valuable additional new features worth noting -the building has a new roof, and an updated sewer lateral.
It is currently in use as a duplex, but its size, dual levels, and flexible floor plan offer opportunities as a multi level business, offices, or a configuration into multiple living units-it previously contained 5 units.
The building's set back front door opens onto a set of stairs that lead to the upper level. The exterior view of the home reveals the multiple windows that surround the entire second floor, capturing all the exterior light and views.
A glowing set of freshly painted stairs invites guests to the second floor.
Upon arriving at the top of the stairs, one is greeted with a wide expanse of windows that surround the sparkling kitchen, and create a welcoming ambiance to the space. It offers new windows, and is newly painted around all the trim.
A very appealing work space is available for use all around the kitchen, and multiple drawer and cabinet space exist at every level. To add to the effect, a wide color coordinated island serves as additional work space, and as seating for breakfast or lunch.
Directly opposite the kitchen is a space that can serve multiple uses-it can be a large dining area, complete with a long table, multiple chairs, and buffet servers-perfect for entertaining-or it could be used more as a family room with long couches, chairs, and a central coffee table.
The drama of the overhead beams that compliment the richly colored hardwood floors is hard to resist.
Moving through the door from the kitchen, one encounters this exceptionally generous living space that continues the theme of the impressive overhead beams and warm wooden floors.
Its size is quite impressive, and that is the appeal of such a room. It can, and has been, converted into bedrooms, but could just as easily become an office space holding many desks, or a workspace with room for needed equipment.
A slightly different perspective illustrates the simplicity of the overall floorplan that can allow many different design options/configurations when desired.
One of the two upstairs bathrooms, seen here, has a handsome white sink, a large window, and an enclosed shower.
Another set of pleasing colorful stairs takes one to the home's lower level.
There are multiple living spaces in the lower floor. One of the most effective is the kitchen, seen here. It is quite spacious, with a large refrigerator and stove anchoring the room, and an amazing amount of shelving and counter workspace.
A second view illustrates how effective and efficient this cheerful and gleaming kitchen is for use.
Worth noting on the lower floor, but not seen here--there is a laundry facility and a large workshop.
One of the lower bedrooms is seen here, and has a brightly lit window over the room's charming central fireplace.
A delightful clawfoot tub with its dark grey and white coloring matches the nearby sink perfectly in charm and appeal.
Immediately adjacent is this stellar bedroom with more than generous floorspace for use, a built in bookcase, and a closet with built in shelving.
In closing, it is worth touching upon this building's location. It is on a prime transit corridor with regular bus routes, and is just steps to busy Bancroft Avenue.
A direct route through much of Oakland is available via nearby International Boulevard. All of these elements are perfect for businesses or offices, and, if residential use is decided upon, the bus routes are excellent, and Interstate I-80 freeway access for any direction is nearby.
In conclusion, if this building, and the many opportunities that it presents is of interest to you, please contact me with your questions and interest at (510) 517-6280. It is being offered for sale for $649,000.
