A charming, light-filled, single-level bungalow in the Maxwell Park neighborhood of Oakland, 5435 Brookdale is a 2BD/1BA home featuring hardwood floors with decorative inlay, traditional stone and klinker brick fireplace, and single-hung windows complemented by modern upgrades for comfort and convenience. The cheerful eat-in kitchen has been stylishly updated with stone countertops and glass tile backsplash, and includes a sunny dining area and laundry closet with a stacking washer and dryer. Two light-filled bedrooms share a modern bath with shower over tub and vanity for storage. Off the kitchen, a sliding glass door opens onto an expansive deck shaded by mature plum and avocado trees - a perfect spot for morning coffee or an afternoon barbeque. The enclosed back yard also enjoys a patio and an edible garden in raised beds, and a side gate provides access to a driveway large enough for side-by-side and tandem parking.
