2701 Chestnut St

Welcome to 2701 Chestnut Street, where classic 1920s character meets a fresh, thoughtfully reimagined interior in the heart of West Oakland. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers an inviting single-level floor plan, generous outdoor space, and a flexible bonus area ideal for a home office, media room, playroom, or creative studio. A covered front porch opens to a light-filled living room where graceful arched openings, warm wood flooring, decorative ceiling details, and a striking tiled fireplace create an immediate sense of charm. The open connection to the dining room makes entertaining effortless, while an original-style built-in buffet with glass-front cabinetry provides display space, storage, and a memorable architectural focal point. The fully updated kitchen pairs modern function with understated style, featuring light wood cabinetry, sleek black hardware, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, generous workspace, and abundant natural light. Just beyond, the flexible secondary living area offers valuable separation for working from home, relaxing, hosting guests, or pursuing creative interests. Three comfortable bedrooms are arranged along a practical floor plan, each enhanced by fresh finishes, wood flooring, natural light, and closet storage. The renovated bathroom delivers a polished, spa-inspired feel with a shower-over-tub, beautiful blue-gray tile, a contemporary vanity, matte-black fixtures, and a window providing natural light and ventilation. Outdoor living is equally compelling. The expansive, fully fenced backyard has been redesigned for easy enjoyment with sweeping artificial turf, low-maintenance landscape areas, room for multiple dining and lounge zones, and plenty of space to garden, gather, or play. A detached storage structure adds everyday utility, while the long driveway provides valuable off-street parking. Located near Raimondi Park—home of the Oakland Ballers—Mandela Parkway, neighborhood cafés and markets, West Oakland BART, Downtown Oakland, Uptown, Jack London Square, and Emeryville, this location offers convenient access to San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, and major commuter routes. With its distinctive vintage character, modern upgrades, versatile living spaces, off-street parking, and exceptional backyard, 2701 Chestnut Street offers the ideal balance of timeless charm, contemporary comfort, and urban convenience.
