Beautiful Rockridge Family Home Near College Ave & UC Berkeley

Description

Beautiful 1910s craftsman home, fully remodeled in 2019, blending classic character with modern family living. The house has an open, comfortable layout with spaces to both work and relax, making it especially well suited for families, visiting professionals, or those needing a longer-term furnished home during a remodel or relocation. The downstairs features an open floor plan with living room, dining room, full bathroom, and a large kitchen with island that opens directly to the backyard. The backyard includes a grassy play area along with a patio and built-in BBQ. There is also an additional bedroom and office/playroom space downstairs that can flex depending on your needs. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office nook. The current setup includes a primary bedroom and bath, one shared kids bedroom, and another bedroom currently used as an office and guest room. We feel incredibly lucky to live on Lawton Avenue, one of the most special streets in Rockridge, with wonderful neighbors and an easy walk to College Avenue, BART, parks, cafés, and neighborhood shops. The location works especially well for families wanting to remain connected to Oakland and Berkeley schools and activities, while also offering convenient access to UC Berkeley and San Francisco. We have been living in Mexico City for the past two years and are planning to stay another year. During that time, we’ve rented the house to wonderful tenants, including next-door neighbors during a major remodel of their home and close family friends from graduate school. Our kids are 8, 10, and 12, so the house is naturally very family friendly, with books, toys, and spaces designed for both kids and adults to comfortably spend time together. We’re looking for tenants who will enjoy the home and neighborhood as much as we have.
