Behind its storybook Tudor façade, 3500 Oak Knoll opens into a home filled with warmth, character and wonderful surprises. Built in 1929 and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the main residence offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and natural white oak hardwood floors bring richness to the open-concept living, dining and kitchen spaces. The beautifully renovated custom kitchen opens directly to an expansive deck, inviting everyday life to flow outdoors and creating an effortless setting for dinners, celebrations and time with the people you love. The lower level offers even more room to make the home your own, with two flexible rooms, a full bathroom and a separate gym and wellness retreat complete with an infrared sauna. These spaces can evolve with you, whether used for guests, working from home, creative pursuits or simply having room to recharge. Tucked away from the main house is something truly rare: a remarkably spacious detached ADU that feels like a home of its own. It features a full chef’s kitchen, full bathroom, bonus room, loft, heating and air conditioning, and a Jacuzzi-style tub. Ideal for extended family, visiting guests, creative work or potential rental income, it adds exceptional flexibility to the property. Outside, mature landscaping creates a private escape with inviting spaces for dining, gathering and play. Enjoy the outdoor dining area, hot tub sheltered beneath a custom redwood pergola, children’s playhouse, fruit trees and winding stamped-concrete pathways. A striking mural by acclaimed local artists the Illuminaries brings color, creativity and a distinctly Oakland spirit to the grounds. From lively summer parties to peaceful mornings in the garden, every corner feels designed to be enjoyed. With numerous thoughtful improvements throughout, the home is ready to move into while retaining the charm and craftsmanship that make it so special. Conveniently located near Bishop O’Dowd High School, the Oakland Zoo and routes to Downtown Oakland, 3500 Oak Knoll is a rare combination of architectural beauty, privacy, versatility and unforgettable indoor-outdoor living.
