Stunning Commercial Complex; Owner Financing Available! Zoned C28 - Live/Work & Commercial
Located in a commercial zone along a major artery near Alta Bates Hospital, with Temescal on one side and U C Berkeley on the other, this property is zoned C28 - commercial, retail, live/work - and is loaded with charm and character.
There is constant traffic along Telegraph Avenue, with a good mix of service providers, retail operations and small boutiques. The building is well suited for a host of businesses, including professional services, a boutique shop, a studio/sales operation, a small cafe a non-profit agency, etc.
The main house is a 1906 Arts & Crafts Revival with gorgeous original details. It features a steep cross-gabled roof and a stone block facade (on the first floor). The large entry room contains handsome leaded glass windows, a fireplace with a curved iron stove insert and original wood wainscoting. On the main floor, there are 3 rooms, a kitchenette and full bath. Upstairs are two offices and a large central meeting room with a high, multi-angled ceiling. The building has been the headquarters of Echo The Wilderness Travel Company for the last 28 years, accommodating 10 full-time employees.
The two-room cottage stretches along the back of the property and is entered from a path to the side of the main building. It has been rented to various professionals including a software engineer, a psychotherapist and a piano teacher. The cottage features an entry porch, a large meeting room and a smaller separate room. There is original woodwork, a full bath and stairs to an attic space. The cottage rent can pay a good portion of a new owner's mortgage, or can serve as a business adjunct to the main building.
The house has been given a B+ rating by the Oakland Historical Society. A new owner would have the option of obtaining significant property tax relief if he chose to register the property under the Mills Act with the City of Oakland.
