| Property Description |
Set amidst towering redwoods, this 4 bedroom/2 bath house with a vacant detached studio apartment is located at the end of Melvin Road. The exterior of this 1940 residence is constructed of clear grade redwood. With a bit of TLC and vision, it can be returned to its charming beginnings. The 2 units afford an opportunity to own both a home and an income-producing unit in a highly sought after residential neighborhood. The hillside setting has a possibility for expanding the Bay views that are just beyond the trees. A two-car garage and plenty of room for parking complete this peaceful, end of road location on an over 20,000 square foot lot. The location of the property is within minutes of some of the Bay Area’s most premiere hiking and nature trails. Skyline Blvd, approximately 1 mile away, is the gateway to several Regional park systems that include horseback riding, fishing and other outdoor activities. Montclair Village and its quaint shopping district are moments away. Public transportation runs frequently along Lincoln Blvd, making car-free journeys to San Francisco or Downtown Oakland a possibility. An additional upside of this property is the opportunity to purchase an adjoining 1.6-acre parcel of land with western sun-filled exposure located at 4621 Lincoln Ave. See 4621LincolnAve.com for additional information. Please visit: 2300MelvinRd.com The following is written about the Oakmore District and is from the marketing materials of the Walter H. Leimert Company, c. 1926.
“Here is the natural beauty of the wooded hill slope, the sunny plateau, the pleasant glen. Below is the City of Oakland spread out fan-like, and to the west, the glorious panorama of San Francisco Bay. And yet, there is no sacrifice of convenience. Particular care has been taken in the plotting of the property. The lots have been apportioned more on the basis of beauty than upon the arbitrary basis of so many square feet constituting a homesite. In every instance, the homesites have been apportioned in conformity with the contours of the property and the natural features. It is in this new residential park that the elements of a desirable homesite find superior and practical expression.”
