4638 Benevides Ave, Oakland

A charming bungalow from the street, this Mediterranean gem opens into a cathedral ceiling and full length windows overlooking the wilderness of Sausal Creek.  Listed as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, it also features two decks, skylights, granite and stainless steel in the updated kitchen.  Only two blocks from the commercial Park Blvd.  Simply great living in the Glenview and very well priced at $645k.

2737 Monticello Ave, Oakland

We’re seeing some great activity around Maxwell Park right now and this is my current personal favorite.  This larger 2 bedroom, 2 bath located in the very heart of the neighborhood has plenty of sunshine and views, a large sunny garden space, enclosed patio, hardwood floors and a fireplace.  Just in case, it also has a separate recording studio out back!  Listed at $387k.
