1016 Chester St Oakland, CA 94607

1016 Chester Street is one of a collection of special and distinctive Victorians developed by John Ziegenbein in 1874 on West Oakland's best block! These hip-roofed raised-basement Italianate homes are unique and their grouping on a tree-lined 3-block long street with no cross traffic makes this an especially choice setting. Upstairs is a glorious sunlit space with impossibly high ceilings and a flexible floor plan with wood floors and most of its original trim. Downstairs is a full finished basement with bonus rooms galore -- plenty of space for workshop, art, music, zoom room, home office, play space, and storage (and great potential for ADU!). All this on a beautiful double lot. Lovely garden spaces of flourishing mature landscaping with roses, productive fruit trees, and a gorgeous Japanese maple. Detached 2-car garage and a super long driveway. Only 4 blocks to BART and West Oakland's beloved Mandela Grocery yet maintains a secluded feeling on friendly and quiet Chester Street.
