Property Description

A rare opportunity to own one of West Oakland's remaining free-standing Victorian homes—updated for the way you live today. Welcome to 2523 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, where timeless Victorian charm meets modern comfort in one of West Oakland's few remaining free-standing single-family Victorian homes. Tucked behind a gated entrance for added privacy, this beautifully updated residence offers the perfect blend of historic character and today's most desirable amenities. Sun-filled interiors, dual-pane windows, owned solar panels, and thoughtful updates create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home, the remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, a spacious center island, stainless steel appliances, and seamless access to the backyard, making it ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Step outside to your own private retreat, complete with a generous deck and refreshed landscaping that's perfect for morning coffee, weekend BBQs, or relaxing evenings under the stars. The main level offers three comfortable bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, while the entire upper floor is dedicated to a private primary suite featuring a spacious bedroom, walk-in shower, and peaceful separation from the rest of the home. Ideally located with easy access to BART, public transit, major freeways, and the vibrant restaurants, cafés, and nightlife of West Oakland and Uptown, this home delivers the perfect combination of historic character, modern convenience, and an unbeatable urban lifestyle.
