Open House

Rockridge 5731 Hermann St

Oakland, CA 94609

Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire multiple homes on a single property in Oakland's highly desirable Rockridge location! Owned by the same family for more than forty years, both houses sit on a spacious 8,325-square-foot lot in a picturesque residential neighborhood tucked between Claremont and Telegraph avenues, just blocks from the many amenities Rockridge has to offer.

Both houses are authentic Craftsman-era homes with recent significant updates and remodels. 5729 Hermann sits at the front of the property and features two bedrooms, 1 bath main level with traditional Craftsman living and dining rooms, and a new, eat-in kitchen. The living and dining rooms have beautifully preserved vintage/original details including tray ceilings, oak floors, and Craftsman-style window and door trim. The living room has a lovely Craftsman tile fireplace set between built-in bookcases, while the dining room has an elegant built-in sideboard/china cabinet. The new, very large kitchen includes a breakfast nook, and is equipped with new stainless steel appliances, quartz counters and plenty of kitchen storage. A spacious, non conforming lower level has a private entrance, with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room and features approximately 927 square feet that offers the potential for multi-generational living space, or creating a large single family residence by combining the two levels. The garage and laundry room total another ~380 SF of space that could accommodate 2+ cars tandem, bikes, kayaks, camping gear, and more.

5731 Hermann is situated at the rear of the property, and has been newly remodeled with contemporary finishes and spaces. The home includes an open living room/dining room/kitchen great room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a large, level-in bonus space with the potential for creating additional home square footage, and a separate yard with new landscaping.

This unique property offers many attractive possibilities for investors and/or developers including potential rental income and/or lot division, or for those searching for multi-family or multi-generational living on one property. Convenient to Rockridge and Temescal amenities, BART and freeways.
