495 Jean St

Welcome to 495 Jean Street - a Dutch Colonial where original details meet modern upgrades. Built in 1917 and extensively remodeled in 2013 with a new roof, foundation, electrical, heating, and plumbing systems. The main level offers a large living room that opens to a sunroom and private backyard. Imagine curling up with a book while enjoying peaceful surroundings in the sunroom, or gathering with friends and family in the generous downstairs spaces. Two sets of French doors connect the kitchen, sunroom, and yard, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining. Upstairs features three bedrooms plus a versatile office. The rear bedroom offers direct access to the upper backyard retreat with a Japanese soaking tub, while the primary bedroom--with an adjoining sunroom--showcases views of the Oakland Hills. A freestanding laundry shed provides additional flexible space. The thoughtfully designed backyard takes full advantage of the lot, with private patios, lounging areas, a pond, and lush gardens. The location is unmatched--walk to Morcom Rose Garden, the Saturday Grand Lake Farmers Market, Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake Theater, and popular cafes and shops. Easy freeway access makes commuting to San Francisco a breeze.
