Welcome home to 3018 Madeline Street, a Spanish Revival bungalow set in the Upper Dimond neighborhood of Oakland. This bright and airy home comes flush with substantive upgrades, smart home features, and stylish appointments providing a perfect mix of vintage and contemporary updates.
Built in 1923, this lovely home features two bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a guest suite/office, with an additional bathroom, off of the laundry/garage. The accordion style sliding glass doors off the primary bedroom and kitchen offer easy access to the large covered redwood deck, providing ideal indoor/outdoor living. Small fence / gate was recently installed to enclose the front yard so you'll have even more space to play and relax.
The open concept dining + living room is flooded with light and looks out on to the lush beautiful landscape. The bathroom has been refreshed and features tiled shower over tub. The front bedroom charms, with sweet wallpaper and a large windowed closet. Primary bedroom is slightly larger, has a cedar floored closet, and looks out onto the pretty backyard / deck.
Kitchen is updated with new marmoleum flooring, shaker style cabinet doors and new hardware, refinished kitchen island butcherblock, two new pantry closets, deep dual farm style sink, Smeg European / retro style fridge, and a Bosch appliance package including microwave, dishwasher, and gas range/oven. Opening out to both the deck via the sliding glass door and sideyard via the side door, this beautiful kitchen is bright, functional, and stunning!
Original era design details include wood floors throughout, thick baseboards, picture hanging moulding, and hexagonal tile flooring in the bathroom. Rejuvenation, West Elm, and Schoolhouse light fixtures have been installed in the home. Original fireplace has been updated with gorgeous new Fireclay tile at the hearth.
Guest suite/office is the ideal bonus space with its own well appointed full bathroom. The large laundry room could double as a craft room or additional storage. The one car garage features studio lighting and could be used as an art space, exercise room, wood shop, or workspace.
Pride of ownership! The home has received substantive upgrades including a replaced foundation, drainage, dual pane windows, automatic garage door, central heating, air conditioning, and an air cleaning system. A new roof and solar was installed in 2022; the electrical main service was also upgraded to 200 amps. Level 2 charger is already equipped for electric car charging. Smart home features include Nest thermostat, Nest smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, Ring doorbell, Ring security cameras/flood lights, and a custom installation of a Samsung Frame 55" TV ideal for those who want to hide their televisions in plain sight.
Front and back yards have recently been landscaped with drought resistant plants, trees, and colorful succulents for ease of maintenance. Gorgeous jasmine has grown along and through the driveway fencing by design and the bougainvillea, just now coming into bloom, can be incredibly vibrant! A mature lemon tree hugging the deck is abundantly fruitful! The handsome brick paved long driveway / patio/ sideyard can accommodate multiple vehicles or function as additional space for play, raised beds, and get togethers!
