Property Description
Rooted in the architectural grace of 1907, this distinguished residence at 3756 Balfour rises above the street with quiet majesty on its corner—a long-standing sentinel of the Lakeshore neighborhood. Moments from all that Lakeshore offers, the home blends heritage, scale, and lifestyle in one of Oakland’s most coveted enclaves. The formal living room features rich hardwood floors, a stately fireplace, and classic detailing, while a sunlit veranda opens to a spacious deck—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The formal dining room showcases original pocket doors, a box-beamed ceiling, and built-in cabinetry, flowing into a custom eat-in kitchen with gas range, pantry, and breakfast nook. Terraced gardens provide versatile outdoor space for relaxation, gardening, or play. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with ample closet space, en suite bath, and adjoining bonus room suited for an office or nursery. Two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath. A finished attic adds flexible living space, and the basement includes storage, workshop area, and laundry. A rebuilt detached garage, owned solar, and mature landscaping complete this legacy home. With a Walkscore of 81, in a neighborhood celebrated for tree-lined streets, architectural beauty, and proximity to Lake Merritt, this property offers timeless character and room to grow.
