455 Lagunitas Ave

At the end of a cul-de-sac, steps from Lake Merritt, this Edwardian-style home welcomes you into the largest duplex you have ever seen. Two single-level units - each nearly 2,000 square feet* - offer hardwood floors, a fireplace, ensuite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and natural light pouring through abundant windows in every room. A newly remodeled bonus studio with its own private entrance rounds out the property.* Tucked behind Grand Lake Kitchen and Oaktown Spice Shop, one block from the Grand Lake Theater - you're in the heart of it all, without the bustle of street traffic. Peek-a-boo views of Eastshore Park's grassy greens frame the iconic Lake Merritt muscle men, a spectacle that gives LA's Muscle Beach a run for its money. The street-level three-bedroom unit features refinished hardwood floors, a full bathroom, and an ensuite half bath. Natural light and classic finishes fill every corner. The upper three-bedroom, two-bath unit is thoroughly modern: a chef's kitchen with a Thermador range and grill, abundant countertop space, dual-pane windows, and nearly 2,000 square feet* of hardwood floors built for real living. Two full bathrooms - one ensuite - complete the picture. A newly updated studio with a full kitchen, full bath, and its own lower entrance offers flexible possibilities for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living.* Out back, a raised Brazilian ipe wood deck and expansive yard are practically begging to host the whole Town - and then some. You came looking for Oakland's finest restaurants and shops, a lakeside path, and an easy commute - and found so much more. *Buyer to investigate.
