Remarks

Welcome to 5948 Howell Street. This home is tucked into one of North Oakland's most desirable pockets near the Berkeley border. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers the kind of classic bones and original charm that's becoming harder to find. A brick walkway leads you to the front porch framed by windows. Upon entry, you are greeted by a cozy living room, complete with a fireplace. The home is filled with natural light, thanks to windows throughout that bring in a warm, easy glow all day long. Beautiful hardwood floors and detailed trim run throughout, giving it a timeless character that's rare in today's market. The home is ready for a new owner to bring their own vision to life with plenty of potential to transform the space into something truly special. Out back, a small deck and brick patio create the perfect setting for morning coffee and evening unwinding, with just enough outdoor space to make it your own without the upkeep of a large yard. Location is where this home truly shines. It's close to Rockridge and Temescal's beloved shops, cafes, and restaurants. Convenient access to UC Berkeley (just minutes away), all while enjoying quiet, tree lined streets that make this pocket feel like a peaceful retreat. This is a home with great character and even greater potential
