Welcome to this utterly adorable bungalow that’s practically bursting with personality. Nestled in a quiet, storybook corner of Redwood Heights, this home is a true charm bomb—whimsical, warm, and full of delightful surprises.
Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, a cozy living room with a blue-tiled gas fireplace, and a cheerful eat-in kitchen with shaker cabinets, a brand new fridge and dishwasher, penny-round blue tile backsplash, and streams of natural light. Two sunny bedrooms with generous closets and a clawfoot tub bathroom round out the main floor.
The colorful laundry room opens to a sunny back patio where you can garden, lounge, or throw a backyard BBQ. Accessed from the front of the home, the 381sf basement (with great ceiling height) is like a blank canvas for your imagination: storage, game room, or even the potential for a dreamy 3rd bedroom with the addition of an internal staircase. Plus the finished detached garage offers even more versatility as an art studio, home office or gym.
Upgrades include central air conditioning and heat, new tankless gas water heater, new french drain system and seismic shearwall panels.
Tucked in a charming, serene pocket of Redwood Heights—yet just moments from Hwy 13 and 580—this sweet jewel box is equal parts practical and overflowing with charm.

Neighborhood
Redwood Heights sits comfortably in the Oakland Hills, named after an old logging road that curves through the area. This friendly neighborhood shows off Oakland's history while offering plenty of modern amenities.
The streets are lined with beautiful older homes built in different styles. You'll find Craftsman houses sitting next to Tudor-style homes and French-inspired architecture, many dating back to the 1920s. Most have been kept up nicely over the years, with updates that make them comfortable for today's residents.
Nature is a big part of life in Redwood Heights. Peralta Creek runs through 9 acres of protected land where local wildlife makes its home. A neighborhood nonprofit, Native Environment Watershed Transformation, or NEWT, has worked hard to clean up and restore the creek, and they often take school kids on educational walks along its banks. Right next door, Redwood Regional Park offers tons of outdoor fun with nearly 40 miles of trails perfect for hiking and biking. The park's 1,800 acres include beautiful redwood trees, evergreen forests, and open spaces that make you forget you're still in the city.
