Before condition
The home had strong original charm and a great Upper Maxwell Park location, but the layout was more closed off, several major components needed updating, and the property had untapped potential. The kitchen, dining, and living areas were separated, the roof, gutters, windows, patio door, and electrical system needed improvement, and the large level backyard had not yet been fully positioned as a major asset.
Scope of work
Over roughly seven months, under full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits with the City of Oakland, the home received a substantial renovation focused on layout, livability, systems, and curb appeal. The work focused on connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The roof and gutters were replaced, all windows and the patio door were upgraded, substantial electrical improvements were completed, and modern updates were added throughout while preserving the home's original character.
Result
The finished home became a bright, updated Upper Maxwell Park property with open living spaces, sunny outlooks, city and bay views, garage interior access, and a large level backyard with possible ADU opportunity. New full bathroom with custom Italian tile throughout. The renovation modernized the home while keeping the neighborhood charm and personal history that made the property special.
