About This Home

Step into a piece of Oakland history. Built in 1883, this beautifully updated West Oakland home carries the quiet distinction of Italianate Victorian architecture, large front windows, and an upper facade adorned with corbels and decorative flourishes that give the home real vintage character. It retains all the warmth of its era, soaring ceilings, and pristine hardwood floors while delivering the modern comforts expected today. The main level opens into a light-filled living room with gorgeous hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. The showstopper is the fully renovated kitchen: grey shaker cabinetry, dramatic white quartz countertops and island, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and three statement pendant lights that beautifully anchor the space. A versatile plus room off the kitchen, framed by its own doorway, is equally at home as a dining room, study, or guest bedroom in a pinch. Two well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, and the updated bathroom features clean, classic white subway tile, a decorative glass accent border, and a dark slate floor. Downstairs, the lower level opens up in ways that will surprise you. The deep one-car garage connects to a generous storage and workshop area, great for a maker or just someone who finally wants room for everything. Additionally, a separately accessible basement offers a rare opportunity to create even more design space. Perhaps your own speakeasy, why not?!! The bones are there, the vision is yours. Out back, a private, fenced yard with a brick patio and raised garden beds offers a quiet outdoor retreat. Located in West Oakland just minutes from downtown, BART, major freeways, and the vibrant food and arts scene that has made this neighborhood one of the Bay's most interesting. 2529 Filbert is a rare find for those seeking authenticity, flexibility, and a home with a real story to tell.
