Charming Rockridge Enclave

Located on a tree-lined street in Rockridge—Oakland’s most coveted walkable neighborhood—this thoughtfully updated Craftsman residence comes with a unique advantage: a newer-built 2-bedroom, 1-bath detached guest house ADU.

Since the main home and ADU are thoughtfully separated by a garden, the property lives well as a multi-generational compound or an income-producing investment with rental potential to offset the mortgage. 

The front home is a classic four-bedroom, two-bath Craftsman, which has been tastefully updated while retaining its original character. Authentic woodwork, box-beamed ceilings, wainscoting, and built-ins nod to the home’s 1912 roots, while the modernized kitchen—complete with quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, and a six-burner gas range—opens seamlessly into the formal dining area with bar seating and a sunlit breakfast nook to the rear. French doors lead from the breakfast nook to a private garden and sunny deck. The main level features original oak floors with inlaid feature stripe and French knot, two bedrooms, a designer-tiled full bath with dual sinks, and laundry for convenience. Upstairs, a cozy loft space opens to two additional bedrooms—one ideal as a sunny home office—and a second full bath with a walk-in tile shower. Recessed lighting, dual-pane windows, and clever storage solutions complete the interiors.  Infrastructure improvements include permitted / remodeled kitchen and both bathrooms as well as owned solar panels.

Beyond the deck and entertaining patio with citrus trees and a raised vegetable bed, the ADU features its own modern aesthetic: vaulted ceilings, designer lighting, skylight, engineered wood floors, and sleek finishes throughout. With a mini-split AC system, in-unit laundry, and integrated loft storage space, the guest house feels every bit as inviting as the main home.

Additional amenities include professionally designed low-maintenance landscaping, off-street parking, and a gracious front porch for morning coffee or evening wine.
With a Walk Score of 93 and Bike Score of 99, this prized Rockridge location puts you within moments of College Avenue’s shops and restaurants, Rockridge BART, UC Berkeley, and Highway 24. Rental history of almost $10K/month adds serious value to an already exceptional offering.
