Wraparound garden adds to appeal of updated Craftsman in Oakland

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character.

A front door with a diamond-shape window stands at an angle atop an exterior stairway and opens to a living room that includes a fireplace with floor-to-ceiling sandstone tile surround.

Hardwood floors grace the main level and wood-frame windows welcome sunlight into the home a block from Telegraph Avenue.

The formal dining room has an alcove with a custom china cabinet and the updated kitchen features KitchenAid appliances and quartz counters.

A second bedroom, an unwarranted water closet and a bonus area that opens to the backyard are downstairs.

Don’t miss: A wraparound backyard with a detached deck, shaded trellis, raised planting beds, stone walkways and mature trees.
