Maxwell Park
2 houses on 1 lot! Step back in time as you stroll the meandering garden path through this enchanting property. Both homes were built in 1923, with the cottage housing its architect, builder, while the craftsmen constructed his model home - once affectionately known as the mansion of Maxwell Park.
Enter the main house through the graceful entrance on Birdsall, and get swept away by its striking period design. A wall of vintage windows highlights the living room with its artisan tiled fireplace. The dining room opens with a set of French doors to a scalloped seating area and stairs that lure you into the gorgeous, professionally landscaped gardens. A completely renovated kitchen shows off its new cabinets, countertops, tiled backsplash and new appliances, which blend seamlessly with the original art deco details throughout the home. 3 beds and 1 full bath serve the main floor, 2 of which have glass doors to the garden. The grand primary suite takes up the top level and enjoys a fully remodeled bath. Sunwashed during the day and 2 large sitting balconies on both sides to enjoy the sunsets by night. Discover the possibilities the basement bonus rooms might hold; including a large room with a vintage kitchen sink, which was once used as a rental in the 60s, as well as the laundry area, half bath and a separate shower room.
The Cottage makes this property perfect for house hacking, multi-generational living, or a general family compound, with its own gated driveway and entrance on Camden but also offering a gate between the homes if one desired to have a seamless connection.
Highlights include a gorgeous new kitchen, 2 beds/1 bath, new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and recessed lighting in the great room. It also enjoys its own garden with fresh lawn and room for gardening and play, as well as a front patio and private enclosed deck off the dining area.
3178 Maxwell Ave is a rare gem, with many endless possibilities for modern living. Residents love living here and you'll find a sense of tight community where neighbors look after one another, and enjoy annual block parties and halloween celebrations. Melrose Academy is a prized Spanish immersion school in the neighborhood, with Mills College (now Northwestern University) just a few blocks away - offering open space for all to enjoy (pups included).
Minutes to the Laurel neighborhood with its array of restaurants and amenities. A few neighborhood favorites include: Farmer Joes, Peters Kettlecorn, Sequoia Diner, Jo's Modern Thai, Phnom Penh, Ace Hardware and Planet Fitness, but there is so much more to discover here. Just a few short blocks to 580 for commuters and the trans bay bus can be caught right at MacArthur and High, for a luxurious ride to SF.
Don't miss your opportunity to be in this magical home for the holidays...

Neighborhood

Nestled in-between High Street and 55th Avenue, just south of Interstate-580, Maxwell Park is a popular neighborhood in East Oakland. Originally developed by John P. Maxwell, many of the homes in Maxwell Park were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and when compared to real estate in North Oakland and Downtown Oakland, feature lower prices per square foot. Residents of Maxwell Park are within close proximity to Mills College, small shopping plazas, restaurants, and plenty of public transit options.
As the neighborhood name might suggest, Maxwell Park offers a small community park near Allendale Avenue and Lilac Street. Featuring plenty of trees, a playground, and is directly next to the Peter Pan Nursery School, which has provided a nurturing environment for kids aged 2-6 since 1947. Add in the convenient access to incredible schools like Melrose Leadership Academy, and you can see why families love living in Maxwell Park.
MacArthur Blvd., between Loma Vista and High Street, is just a few blocks from Maxwell Park, and features a variety of popular restaurants, retail stores, and service shops. Some of the notable restaurants include the World Ground Cafe, Fist of Flour Doughjo and Everett and Jones BBQ.
Commuters love Maxwell Park due to the easy access to the AC Transit Route 14, which provides a direct route to the Fruitvale BART station. The bus ride to Fruitvale Station is less than 15 minutes from Maxwell Park, and from here, commuting to the heart of Oakland, or be in San Francisco’s Financial District in less than 30 minutes.
