Step into timeless elegance at 3801 Lakeshore Avenue, a stunning corner-lot home nestled in one of Oakland’s most vibrant neighborhoods. With boutique shops, cafés, restaurants on Lakeshore and Grand Avenues, beloved Lake Merritt just minutes away, this beautifully updated home combines classic architecture with thoughtful modern touches—superbly tailored for today’s lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal captivates. Mature landscaping surrounds the fully fenced lot, anchored by a majestic Deodar Cedar. A neighborhood landmark, this cedar is loved and admired by many and believed to be over 80 years old. A myriad of flora, including blooming roses and a lemon tree, brings bursts of color and fragrance to the grounds. Meandering walkways wind through the front gardens, leading to the charming wood shingle exterior with classic wood-trimmed windows. Rich brick steps warmly welcome you to the front door and home.
Inside, wood floors span wall-to-wall, flowing throughout the home and providing warmth and continuity. Off the foyer, you’ll discover a light-filled sunroom wrapped in windows on three sides, offering tranquil views of the gardens. It’s the perfect place for a home office, reading room or art space. The grand front living room features several floor to ceiling windows, and original crown molding and baseboard details. Under a dazzling gold chandelier, the space invites lively conversations and relaxed evenings alike. The adjacent oversized dining room is equally spectacular, with a dramatic tray ceiling and an intricate vintage-inspired fixture that casts a warm glow over festive gatherings or intimate meals. A few steps away is the eat-in kitchen which is both functional and fabulous. Centered around a large stone-topped island; a lively gathering spot while the family chef cooks on the commercial-style Wolf range. Deep blue cabinetry with stylish hardware and stainless-steel appliances grace the kitchen. Stained-glass windows, generous cabinet space, and recessed lighting enhance the space with unique sophistication. A built-in bench eveloped in windows allows for casual dining or a wonderful reading nook. The secondary sink provides the utmost convenience while hosting celebrations and events. Located off the kitchen is a powder room adorned with fun floral wallpaper—a lively touch. Down the hallway are two light-filled bedrooms, each a retreat in their own right. The bedrooms feature beautiful box cove ceilings with crown molding, creating cohesive elegance and architectural interest throughout. These rooms are adorned with walk-in closets, glass doorknobs, and picturesque garden views. They are served by a stylishly renovated bathroom with dual sinks, a glass-enclosed shower, Kohler soaking tub, marble tile floors, and designer leafy wallpaper adding a whimsy botanical touch.
Upstairs, the primary suite welcomes you with double glass doors, more sunny windows with views of the lush greenery outside, and a walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom is a tranquil sanctuary, featuring a separate shower, a deep soaking tub, and exquisite tile and stone finishes. An additional upstairs bedroom offers comfort for guests or family, with a generous closet and lovely natural light. Envision developing the 643 sq ft of attic space into another bedroom or bonus room. The fully fenced yard is ideal for lounging in the sun, gardening, or playing with furry friends and features a beautiful Magnolia tree and colorful plantings. Under the twinkling bistro lights, imagine dining al fresco with loved ones. Do not miss the large laundry area and generous lower-level storage.
