3435 Dimond Ave

Move-in ready in the heart of Oakland's Dimond District. This fully renovated Craftsman pairs a designer single-level interior with a rare, private backyard along Sausal Creek. The open living, dining, and kitchen concept centers on a quartz-surround fireplace with built-in bookcases, and carries hardwood flooring, dual-pane windows, and recessed lighting throughout. Character details like barn doors, and updated hardware, give the home real warmth, and natural light fills every room.The kitchen is the centerpiece: a breakfast bar with waterfall peninsula, Monogram gas cooktop, built-in convection microwave, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, and thoughtful storage. A separate laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer leads out to the rear porch, covered patio, detached garage, large / flexible parking pad, and expansive yard.The primary suite offers a large spa-like en suite bath with a walk-in tile shower, dual-faucet vanity, and a customized LED mirror. The second bedroom is generously sized and shares access to an updated hall bath with tub over shower. Outside, a fenced front yard with low-maintenance turf, mature screening shrubs, and distinctive palms creates a quiet buffer from the street. At the rear, 108 feet of direct Sausal Creek frontage gives the property a genuinely rare feature for the neighborhood: a private, secluded creekside oasis most Oakland backyards simply can't offer. A detached garage adds flexible storage, and a shaded lounge area doubles as covered parking. The nearly 16,000-square-foot RM-3 lot also carries longer-term upside for buyers interested in exploring it, offering flexibility for an ADU or future expansion; buyers should verify current zoning provisions and do their own due diligence. Easy access to Freeway 580 and Highway 13, and local favorites Peet's Coffee, LaFarine Bakery, Grand Lake Kitchen - Dimond, Bombera (Michelin-noted), Dimond Slice, Tomsa Sushi, and Farmer Joe's Market. Dimond Park, Glenview, Montclair, and Laurel Districts, and the trails of Joaquin Miller Regional Park are all close by as well. A Walk Score of 93 and Bike Score of 78 tell you how much of daily life happens without a car.
