Property Description

Unlock incredible upside potential at 956 53rd St. This North Oakland Queen Anne cottage preserves its vintage character while serving as the ultimate canvas for a custom remodel.

Major big-ticket items are already checked off: the home features a newer concrete foundation, new sewer lateral and upgraded copper plumbing to the meter. Unmatched commuter location central to three BART stations (MacArthur, Ashby, Rockridge) with immediate access to Temescal, Berkeley, and regional freeways. Walk Score: 84 | Bike Score: 89.
