4722 Meldon Ave

Located on one of the historic streets in Maxwell park, this 1927 bungalow blends vintage character with thoughtful updates and an inviting, easygoing floor plan. A formal entry opens to a light-filled living room with its original fireplace, or to the dining room through handsome wood French doors. Throughout, charming built-ins and alcoves add personality and practical storage, while a distinctive rolling louvered sunshade—created for HGTV’s Curb Appeal—is a delightful bit of the home’s history. The charming kitchen is warm and functional, with plentiful cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook beneath pendant lighting. Travertine floors bring an earthy note, while mostly new lighting and interior paint give the home a fresh, considered feel. Two bedrooms share a classically updated bath with black-and-white basketweave tile, white subway tile, and a shower-over-tub. The primary bedroom feels especially inviting, with a generous closet and a quiet sense of retreat. On the lower level, a finished bonus room offers wonderfully flexible space for a home office, art studio, workout room, or creative hideaway, along with laundry and interior access to the garage. A glass door opens directly to the fully fenced garden, where a patio and artificial lawn create an easy setting for outdoor dining and lounging. With a one-car garage, off-street parking, and basement storage, this is a home that balances charm with the conveniences of modern life—and makes everyday living feel just a little more special. The location is wonderful, with easy access to the shops of Oakland's Laurel District, nearby parks, and a quick freeway connection that makes getting to SF simple.
