A first time offering of a unique property that has origins dating back to the 1800s
A rare opportunity to purchase a 1.6-acre parcel of land with western sun-filled exposure. It is conveniently located between Hwys 580 and 13 within the heart of the Oakland foothills. Nestled between Lincoln Heights and Oakmore, the property was originally part of a larger family parcel that was homesteaded in the mid to late 1800s. Set back from the street, surrounded by fruit trees and towering redwoods, the bucolic setting affords a
multitude of possibilities.
The 858 square foot 1905 craftsman-style cottage was formerly inhabited by two generations of family members. The existing house sits on the level sun-filled portion of the land. R4H zoning allows for the renovating/expansion or building of a single family home with a secondary unit. Other portions of the land are gently sloped and offer views of the Bay.
An additional upside of this property is the opportunity to purchase an adjoining almost 1/2 acre lot with an existing Duplex located at 2300 Melvin Rd in the highly sought after Oakmore neighborhood. See 2300MelvinRd.com for additional information.
The location of the property is within minutes to some of the Bay Area’s most premiere hiking and nature trails. Skyline Blvd, approximately 1 mile away is the gateway to several Regional park systems that include horseback riding, fishing and other outdoor activities. Montclair Village and its quaint shopping district are moments away. Public transportation runs frequently along Lincoln Blvd, making car free journeys to San Francisco or Downtown Oakland a possibility.
It is close to Mormon Temple, Greek Temple, Head Royce School, and several other schools. Access to miles of hiking and nature trails are nearby and include Redwood Park, Joaquin Miller Park, and Sausal Creek.
Properties of this scope and nature are a rare find. Don’t miss this opportunity to purchase this large parcel with all its special features.

The following is written about the Oakmore District and is from the marketing materials of the Walter H. Leimert Company, c. 1926.
“Here is the natural beauty of the wooded hill slope, the sunny plateau, the pleasant glen. Below is the City of Oakland spread out fan-like, and to the west, the glorious panorama of San Francisco Bay. And yet, there is no sacrifice of convenience. Particular care has been taken in the plotting of the property. The lots have been apportioned more on the basis of beauty than upon the arbitrary basis of so many square feet constituting a homesite.In every instance, the homesites have been apportioned in conformity with the contours of the property and the natural features. It is in this new residential park that the elements of a desirable homesite find superior and practical expression.”
