Nestled in the heart of north Oakland you'll find what can only be described as Sunset Magazine-meets-steampunk-meets-Restoration Hardware. The details are delightful, the kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, the bathroom is tiny but very chic...but the best part for me is the outside garden. Mature trees and flowers are artfully planted amongst 3 separate seating areas, one of which has a gorgeous fire gas fire pit that lights with a push of a button. Hand-laid brick and weathered wood sets the tone for happy hour, a sunny breakfast or a kickback place to read.
The bed is super comfy and privacy abounds, even though a bustling Oakland city community is right outside the front door. The little touches really make this place and suffice to say, I'd live here permanently, in a heartbeat.
