792 Medford Ave

On the market for the first time in nearly three decades, this Julia Morgan–inspired 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence seamlessly marries historic craftsmanship with modern updates. Hand-built by a skilled millwright between 1925 and 1931, the main house showcases gumwood built-ins, redwood framing and flooring, and a custom 1930s fireplace whose tilework tells the story of its origins as part of the old Jensen Ranch. Thoughtful renovations—including a modern kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, and refinished ceilings with recessed lighting—ensure comfort without sacrificing character. The light-filled main level features a primary suite, two additional bedrooms, an office, and two-and-one-half baths.. A detached studio with its own utilities and full bath provides flexible space for guests, a home office or rental income. Set on a nearly 0.18-acre lot with mature landscaping, lemon and liquid-amber trees, and flowering gardens, the property draws monarch butterflies, songbirds and squirrels, creating a private sanctuary. Located in unincorporated Alameda County’s Cherryland, just minutes from NEW restaurants and cafes, two BART stations, Highways 880/580/238, Unity Park and Lake Chabot, this offering blends history, nature, convenience and income potential in one compelling package.
