Charming Upper Laurel/Redwood Heights cottage with AC! A gardener's dream...The colorful gardens of this corner lot draw you in with an ever changing array of blooms on the many succulents, shrubs and fruit trees (peach, apple, lemon, plum, and grape), and provide a quaint private space to relax, unwind and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, a mix of original character and thoughtful updates create a light filled open concept living space that is both functional and welcoming. Owned solar panels, updated HVAC/central air conditioning/heat, and an EV charger (adjacent to the off street parking space) are among the many upgrades to this home in recent years, and there's a garage that is great for extra storage. The location on the dividing line between Oakland's popular Upper Laurel and Redwood Heights neighborhoods gives this home easy access to so much of what Oakland has to offer! Laurel District restaurants and shops are just a few blocks, there is easy access to both the 580 & 13 freeways, express bus options are available for your commute, and the vast network of regional parks and trails of the Oakland hills are just a short drive away.
