Welcome to 1116 E 20th Street, a serene Oakland retreat where warmth, character, and comfort come together with effortless ease. Hardwood floors, dual-pane windows, a recently installed roof, and thoughtfully refreshed interiors create a home that feels both timeless and inviting. Natural light flows through the living and dining rooms, while the updated kitchen and baths offer comfort, functionality, and an ease to everyday living. The three level layout provides a flexible floor plan that adapts seamlessly to changing needs, whether for guests, working from home, creative pursuits, or multigenerational living. Beyond the gated driveway, off-street parking and a private backyard retreat await, where a pergola sets the stage for outdoor dinners, slow weekends, and gatherings under the evening sky, creating a peaceful sense of privacy and calm. A detached bonus structure offers endless possibilities as a studio, office, gym, workshop, or additional flex space. Ideally positioned with easy access to Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, Lakeshore, local transit, and neighborhood favorites including Xochi Cafe, Philomena, Champa Garden, and San Antonio Park, this home offers the rare combination of connectivity, flexibility, and a genuine sense of comfort.
