Encircled by a lush English garden, this Edwardian era house incorporates classical architectural features that are less fussy than those of the previous Victorian era, such as the decorative corner pilasters that adorn its exterior and the imaginative custom built-ins and wainscoting that grace the formal dining room. Happily, this home exhibits the Edwardian era’s wider rooms and larger windows than those of its predecessor’s period, allowing a maximum of natural light to enter. The open layout of the living room and dining room creates a spacious area in which to entertain while not sacrificing the coziness of a well lived-in home. Having all 3 bedrooms on the upper level offers an excellent separation of space. Each level boasts divided bathrooms – a separate shower stall downstairs and sinks in both the “water closet” and shower room upstairs -- making for exceptional convenience. The size of the breakfast room off the kitchen allows both casual dining as well as a home office space overlooking the spectacular rear garden. The current owners have lovingly created the feeling of living day and night in a veritable Garden of Eden thoughtfully designed to offer up blooming plants and shrubs year round. A generous use of solar lighting welcomes evening visitors into the front yard, encourages the use of the backyard as a true extension of the home’s living space, and allows afternoon gatherings to last well into the evening. The Hoover-Foster neighborhood is nearly equidistant to 2 of Oakland's dining & entertainment districts: both Temescal & Uptown are just minutes away, as are the MacArthur & 19th St. BART stations!

Morning light moves easily through this home. Set along a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Arlington Avenue, this cheery two-bedroom Edwardian unfolds with an immediate sense of calm and openness. Positioned on the second floor of a classic four-unit building, the home’s eastern exposure welcomes soft morning light that gently fills the living spaces as the day begins. The layout has been thoughtfully reimagined into an open-concept design, where the kitchen becomes the natural center of daily life. Anchored by stone counters, stainless steel appliances, and clean modern lines, it’s a space suited for both quiet mornings and easy evenings with friends, spilling out to an inviting balcony just off the kitchen. New engineered wood floors run underfoot, while high ceilings and preserved period woodwork add depth and character, subtle reminders of the home’s Edwardian roots. Every detail supports comfort and ease: dual-pane windows, in-unit laundry, and a seamless flow that makes the home feel larger than its footprint, with virtually no wasted space. And then there is the location. Drawing energy from Temescal's restaurants, shops, and neighborhood rhythm, and with easy access to BART and freeways, the city feels close but never overwhelming. It’s a setting where convenience and character meet, and daily life moves with a bit more ease. A home that lives simply, and lingers quietly.
