829 Aileen St, Oakland CA 94608

There’s something immediately welcoming about 829 Aileen Street. A refreshed home tucked into North Oakland’s desirable Santa Fe neighborhood near the Emeryville border. Just blocks from Children’s Hospital and minutes from Kaiser, Ashby BART, and MacArthur BART, the location offers easy access for medical professionals and commuters while remaining quiet enough to work from home. A charming covered front porch welcomes you into a bright, inviting interior with two nicely sized bedrooms and spacious living and dining rooms. Fresh interior paint and thoughtful updates blend with preserved original classic details, including beautifully stained hardwood floors, new quartz countertops, new roof 3 years ago and new copper plumbing lines put in last month. The large kitchen features rare vintage “Olympia Kitchen Kabinets,” which were historically steel or aluminum kitchen cabinets produced in Washington state produced by General Metalcraft at the former Olympia Brewery site in the 1940s and 1950s. Enjoy breakfast in the kitchen or on one of two porches, or gather for dinner in the formal dining room by the fireplace. Outside, a long driveway offers parking for three to four additional cars and leads to a large backyard with two garden sheds. The generous lot gives the home room to breathe, with space for an incoming producing ADU or to start a garden, gather with friends, enjoy a quiet afternoon, or simply make the outdoors your own. It’s the kind of backyard that can become whatever home means to you. Life here extends beyond the property lines, with Tuesday farmers markets, neighborhood walks, local cafes, shopping, parks, and the energy of NOBE, where North Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville come together! A little bit of history, a little bit of breathing room, and a place that feels ready to be lived in and loved. Welcome home.
