878 42nd St, Oakland, California 94608

Lovely farmhouse nestled in the quaint Longfellow neighborhood of North Oakland. Situated off the street – one is welcomed by a large southeast facing deck, a pleasant spot indeed to relax, greet friends and enjoy a cup of coffee. Inside is cozy; hardwood floors, tall ceilings and punctuated with period details throughout. The living area and kitchen are flooded in natural light – windows on three sides. The kitchen has an efficient old-time feel, with a Wedgewood stove, butcher block countertops, and an attractive tile backsplash. New dishwasher, disposal, metal cabinets and new, retro fridge. Off the kitchen area is an interior staircase to the lower level. Bathroom is big and comfortable. There is a wonderful claw foot soaking tub that simply demands a bubble bath. On the lower level there is “extra space” galore – TAP into your creative side. Cement and wood flooring, wainscoting and plenty of windows. Plus, laundry room w/ sink and a ½ bath. Direct access to the yard from this level. Outside area has mature plantings, native shrubs, flowers, tool shed and a quaint lawn. Kinda perfect really. Off street parking spot is in front of the house. Embrace this neighborhood. The proximity to MacArthur BART, bike lanes, and bus lines is tremendous. 91 WalkScore and 98 BikeScore.
