Charming 1921 Craftsman in Crocker Highlands – Great Fixer Opportunity

This 1921 Craftsman is full of character and located in the highly desirable Crocker Highlands neighborhood. With a classic floor plan and spacious rooms, this home offers great potential for updates and customization.

Recent improvements include new Marvin windows throughout and a fully updated electrical system. While some structural work is still needed, this home is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to make it their own.
The main level features formal living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, built-ins, and a traditional fireplace. The eat-in kitchen opens to a bright breakfast room with views of the backyard and Oakland hills. Two generous bedrooms and a tastefully updated bath complete this level.

Downstairs, the flexible lower level can serve as a family room, home office, or guest space, and includes a full bath. There’s ample under-house storage with possible potential for expansion—perhaps an ADU or additional bedroom and bath. A large deck overlooks the backyard with plenty of space for future landscaping or development.

Additional features include an attached garage with interior access and a large storage area off the lower level. Conveniently located near award-winning Crocker Highlands Elementary, Lake Merritt, the Saturday Farmers Market, and easy freeway access to San Francisco.

Don’t miss this great opportunity in one of Oakland’s favorite neighborhoods!

about this

Neighborhood

Crocker Highlands, once known for reliance on Key Line of electric trains, offers elegant examples of Tudor, Spanish, Arts and Crafts, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco period homes dating back to the 1920s. Notable homes were designed by architects Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck. Tree-lined streets and authentic street lamps from the 1920s are laid out along the rolling hills and frame spacious, manicured lawns in a neighborhood reminiscent of English garden suburbs. 

Crocker Highlands is conveniently located near Interstate 580, and AC Transit bus lines serve the neighborhood. Residents can access parks, shops, and restaurants in the nearby Lakeshore, Grand Lake, and Glenview neighborhoods.
