About 1161 61st St
Welcome to 1161 61st, a bright, well cared for elegant Craftsman-inspired abode in North Oakland. The uber attractive foyer sets the tone as this home seamlessly connects historic charm with many modern conveniences – such as a hybrid HVAC system and electric hot water heater. Two refined bedrooms with dual pane windows. The bathroom has lovely tile work, a shower over tub and a modern tankless toilet. The gracious living and dining room areas showcase handsome architectural details like coved ceilings, inglenooks, and wide plank wood floors and generous natural light. Large eat-in kitchen has a picture window above the sink that faces out onto the yard – kitchen accesses an enclosed sunporch which leads out to the back yard. Private and fenced in the back of the house faces southwest and has established native plantings, a landscaped large flat gathering area perfect for outdoor dining, lounging and grilling - plus there is a useful grass area. The basement is HUGE and accessible from both inside of the home and a separate entry off the backyard. This lower level provides storage galore, interior parking, laundry and room for a home office. Great location and convenient to shopping, parks and dining options. A mere 2 blocks to the Emeryville boarder – the Doyle Hollis Park, Ralph Hawley YMCA and Ruby’s Café are all close by.
