Description
Offered for the first time in more than 60 years, this rare Grand Lake area treasure presents an extraordinary opportunity to restore and reimagine a substantial Craftsman-era residence. Built in 1912, the home offers approximately 3,038 square feet of living space on an expansive 9,450± square foot lot, combining timeless architectural character with exceptional upside potential. Rich in original details, the residence features six bedrooms, two and one-half baths, a full basement, stunning built-in cabinetry, extensive wood wainscoting, leaded glass accents, hardwood floors, and a grand fireplace surrounded by classic Craftsman millwork. Large formal rooms, abundant natural light, and period craftsmanship showcase the home's remarkable heritage and provide the perfect canvas for a thoughtful restoration. The generous lot offers endless possibilities for gardens, outdoor entertaining, expansion, or potential accessory dwelling opportunities (buyer to verify). While the property requires significant cosmetic updating, the scale, character, and location make it a rare find for contractors, investors, or buyers seeking to create a legacy home. Ideally located near Grand Lake, Lakeshore, the Rose Garden, shopping, dining, and transportation, 478 Jean Street is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring new life to one of Oakland's classic architectural gems. Bring your vision and unlock the full potential of this remarkable property.
