8342 Ney Avenue, Oakland, CA 94605

Oakland Hills Split-Level with Bonus Space Some houses are simply a place to live. Others make you slow down the moment you walk through the door. Built in 1936, 8342 Ney Avenue has the kind of character that’s becoming harder to find and impossible to recreate. The living room sets the tone immediately with exposed beams stretching overhead, warm hardwood floors underfoot, and a fireplace that feels less like a feature and more like the place everyone naturally ends up gathering around. The split-level floor plan creates separation without sacrificing connection. Three bedrooms and an updated bath sit upstairs, while the lower-level bonus room opens the door to whatever life currently requires of you, a home office, movie room, workout space, art studio, guest retreat, or the spot teenagers inevitably claim as their own. Outside, the yard offers space to breathe, garden, play, or simply enjoy an afternoon under the fruit trees as the seasons change around you. Location matters too. Morning walks through nearby Knowland Park, afternoons at the Oakland Zoo, trail access just minutes away, and quick connections to Highway 580 make it easy to spend less time commuting and more time enjoying where you live. Homes like this don’t come along often, full of character, flexibility, and the kind of warmth that makes it easy to imagine your life unfolding here.
