5200 Golden Gate Ave, Oakland, Ca, 94618

Set in the heart of Upper Rockridge, 5200 Golden Gate Avenue is a three bedroom, two bath Mediterranean home with a warm, relaxed sense of character and a natural connection to the outdoors. The main level has an easy sense of flow. In the living room, vaulted ceilings rise above exposed wood beams, an elegant arched window, hardwood floors, and a fireplace, giving the space both drama and intimacy. It is the kind of room that feels equally suited to a quiet afternoon or a gathering of friends. A separate dining room leads into the kitchen, where generous cabinetry and counter space keep the room connected to the rhythm of everyday life - the possibility for expansion and upgrades here are endless. Beyond the kitchen, a cozy entertaining room opens directly to the backyard. Here, the house gives way to an expansive outdoor setting with room to dine, garden, lounge, and gather. A detached office/studio sits within the garden, offering a quiet place to work or create, or simply a little separation from the life of the main house. Two bedrooms on the main level include the primary suite, where sliding doors open onto a private deck with a hot tub. The third bedroom, tucked away on the lower level, offers its own sense of privacy and separation. Throughout the home, abundant windows bring in natural light, while hardwood floors and original architectural details add warmth and continuity. 5200 Golden Gate Avenue has the rare combination of architectural character, generous outdoor space, and the kind of easy, informal living that makes a house feel like home.
