Own One or Both: Two Unique Homes on a Single Lot in Bushrod Park
This fully restored classic Craftsman is paired with a new modern home on a single-family lot in Oakland. Own one or both!
737 61st Street in Oakland—An Exceptional Find in a Highly Desired Location
Two homes, one rare opportunity—a unicorn property in every sense. In North Oakland’s coveted Bushrod Park, two distinct homes—a modern new build (see it here) and a reimagined 1910 Craftsman by acclaimed local builder New Avenue Homes—come together on one lot. This is your opportunity:
an income-generating investment
a single-family home with a private ADU (an ideal setup for multi-generational or multi-family living!)
a tenancy-in-common (TIC) arrangement—you own one of the two homes on the lot
Here’s the reimagined classic:
The Classic Craftsman
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 mantel with a 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 and individual storage, and a private backyard with a deck, beautiful turf, citrus, and planter boxes.
The Location
Nestled in a friendly, walkable community, this home offers easy access to Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART, and the award-winning restaurants and shops of Rockridge, Temescal, and Downtown Berkeley.
The Opportunity: Own One or Both Homes
This property is a single-family parcel with two distinct homes, giving you remarkable flexibility:
Purchase one home through a Tenancy in Common (TIC) arrangement.
Purchase both homes and enjoy options that can serve you for generations:
Live in one and use the other as a guest house or creative studio.
Live in one and rent out the other for additional income.
Create a family compound and keep your loved ones close.
You can own them both or purchase either one as a 50% TIC share.
Whatever your choice, you can qualify for competitive 30-year, fixed-rate loans.
