3842 Enos AvenueOakland, CA 94619Price: $995,000

On a sunny street with sidewalks in the Upper Laurel is 3842 Enos, a 1940s home on an 8,256-square-foot lot. A front garden with perennials and sculptural maples welcomes you to a brick porch. Inside are 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, hardwood floors, a dining room, a large kitchen, and a living room with a big window that lets the afternoon sun pour in. Enjoy a large garage with adjacent storage and interior access, a laundry area, and even more storage space. This sweet property was Shain and Gabriel's first home, and in 2012 they converted the lower level into a separate, permitted unit (3840 Enos). The one-bedroom unit has a bathroom, kitchen, and living space, plus a sliding door to the backyard. And what a backyard it is: sprawling! Leave it as is, or create your own outdoor oasis. While the unit was used as a rental, it could serve many needs: an au pair, extended stays for out-of-town family, or a spot for adult children before they leave the nest. Freshly painted inside and out, with a new furnace and one side of the foundation replaced, this property, which has meant so much, was meticulously prepared for the market with great pride of ownership.
