The Story

Some homes are old.
Some are smart.
This one is both.

Behind a classic gray-and-burgundy Victorian facade, you'll find original woodwork, a hand-carved fireplace mantel, and hardwood floors that have warmed this house for over a century.

This isn't a flip. It's a careful, complete restoration of a North Oakland landmark, ready for its next chapter.

Why It's Different

Character you can feel.
Technology you'll forget you have.

01

Period Character, Beautifully Kept

Hardwood floors throughout, a working gas fireplace in the original carved mantel, a dramatic library/parlor — and two secret walk-in closets hidden behind hinged bookcases.

02

A Kitchen That Works Hard

Forest-green cabinetry, generous wood countertops, and a full smart Samsung suite — Family Hub refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, and microwave, all SmartThings-connected.

03

Genuinely Smart, Genuinely Effortless

Smart locks with built-in video doorbells, Moen voice-controlled showers, touchless faucets, smart bidet toilets, and robot mop/vacuums on every floor.

04

Future-Proofed & Move-In Ready

Permitted 200-amp electrical, a permitted EV charger, and a fully permitted LG Art Cool Gallery HVAC system delivering heat and AC throughout.

The heart of the home, in forest green

An eat-in kitchen that balances vintage warmth with the smartest appliances on the market — designed to be lived in, not just looked at.
