Nestled on Oakland’s iconic Christmas Tree Lane, this beautifully preserved Tudor Revival is a rare offering where architectural integrity and thoughtful improvements exist in perfect harmony. Lovingly stewarded through the years, the home retains the warmth, craftsmanship, and character that make Storybook homes so enduringly appealing while benefiting from substantial investments that make everyday living effortless. The gracious living and dining rooms showcase the home’s original charm, while a thoughtfully remodeled kitchen and updated bathrooms blend seamlessly with the architecture. A new foundation, numerous system upgrades and meticulous maintenance provide confidence for years to come without sacrificing the home’s historic soul. One bedroom and a full bath on the main level offer exceptional flexibility, making primarily single-level living possible or creating an ideal space for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a primary and second bedroom as well as full bath with some bay & city views, charming nooks and deep closets capture the whimsy of classic Storybook architecture, creating delightful hideaways, imaginative play spaces, or cozy reading retreats. Outside, the property is equally enchanting. A magnificent, mature orange tree drips with fruit, raised planters overflow with budding tomatoes and beautifully landscaped (w/ irrigation) gardens invite outdoor dining, entertaining, or peaceful afternoons in the sun. The generous deck overlooks the lush backyard, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. The spacious two-car garage provides ample storage and exciting future possibilities, including potential conversion or expansion into an ADU, guest quarters, studio, or home office. Just as remarkable as the home is the community that surrounds it. Picardy Drive is one of Oakland’s most beloved streets, celebrated for its remarkable architecture and the annual Christmas Tree Lane tradition that has delighted generations. More than simply beautiful, it is a neighborhood where neighbors know one another, children play, people stroll and walk their dogs, holiday traditions flourish, and residents genuinely look out for each other. The result is a warm, welcoming community with a true sense of belonging that is increasingly rare to find. This is more than a beautifully updated Tudor—it is an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Oakland’s most treasured homes on one of its most cherished streets.
