2493 Cordova St, Oakland

2493 Cordova Street is located in the heart of Woodland Park Tract, a historic 1930s development designed and built by J.W. Scammell. This sunny, one-way street in the Dimond/Upper Fruitvale neighborhood is renowned for its Spanish Mediterranean-style homes and boasts a 82 WalkScore®.

The property has been thoughtfully upgraded with an open, renovated kitchen featuring luxe appliances, wallpaper, and a built-in bench. Three beautifully renovated bathrooms with designer finishes seamlessly blend with the home’s original charm. Original hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a picture window in the living room further elevate the home’s character. The formal dining room flows into the kitchen, creating an open, airy space perfect for gathering and entertaining.

The oversized, level backyard, complete with a redwood deck, offers ample room for outdoor gatherings — so much, that the current owners hosted their wedding here! Adjacent to the property, Sausal Creek adds an extra layer of privacy and serenity, making it a peaceful retreat. A sunny addition with clerestory windows and French doors opens to the garden. This inspiring space once served as the owner's office, where she wrote her latest novel.

This property offers the best of both worlds: highly upgraded and renovated classic 1930s architecture on a level, sunny street with fantastic light and flow. This home has soul and finesse, blending modern comforts with timeless character.
