Two Homes, One Rare Opportunity in Bushrod Park

In North Oakland’s sought-after Bushrod Park, two homes share one lot in a rare offering by local reputable Builder New Avenue Homes. Thoughtfully conceived for flexibility, the property works equally well as an income-generating investment or as a single-family home with a private ADU, providing an ideal setup for multi-generational or multi-family living. 

The 1910 Craftsman

In front, a classic 1910 Craftsman bungalow has been reimagined for modern living while preserving its period charm. Behind the cheerful yellow door, a sunlit living room with bay windows, hardwood floors, and a coved ceiling opens to a formal dining room complete with built-in glass hutch, tiled hearth, and original mantle / mirror. The renovated kitchen blends farmhouse character with beadboard wainscoting, granite counters, open shelving, and stainless steel appliances anchored by a Wolf range. Three bedrooms, including a smaller flex space perfect as a sunny office, share a thoughtfully updated bath featuring a clawfoot tub, wainscoting, and new tile flooring. Additional features include a stacked washer/dryer, whole-house fan, and updated plumbing, heating, and electrical. Outdoors, enjoy a landscaped front yard, new paver driveway with side by side parking, a one-car garage with bonus workshop & individual storage, and a private backyard with deck, turf, citrus, and planter boxes.

The Modern New Build

Tucked behind the original Craftsman, a new all-electric contemporary home offers modern design, sustainability, and indoor-outdoor living. A dramatic wall of glass connects the open kitchen, dining, and living space to a private landscaped yard, perfect for entertaining. Wide-plank engineered wood floors, skylights, black-framed windows, and artisan tile bring modern craftsmanship throughout. The chef’s kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an induction range, quartz countertops, and a bold blue tile backsplash. With three bedrooms, two baths, including a main-level full bath, the net-zero home has been built to the latest energy and seismic standards with HRV filtration, EV-ready parking, and owned solar panels.

The Location 

With a Walk Score of 90 and Bike Score of 100, both homes put you moments from Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART, and the award-winning dining and shopping of Rockridge, Temescal, and Downtown Berkeley. 

A Compelling Dual-Home Opportunity

Combined compounds like this rarely come along in such a prime East Bay location. As a newly built home, it is currently exempt from rent control, offering the owner(s) additional flexibility as needs may change. Live in one, rent the other, or share with extended family or even close friends.
