A First Look

Walk the house. Then walk the street.

The interior earns the headline: vaulted, light-filled, and built around a generous open plan. The street earns the rest of the story. Book a private walk-through to see how the house lives, and how the neighborhood lives around it.

Rear elevation of 635 Longridge showing the stepped split-level roofline, brick chimney, and three stories stacked into the Oakland hillside — The home from the back. Three levels stepped into the hillside, brick chimney rising through a stacked roofline. The footprint a 1960 architect drew on purpose.

Street approach to 635 Longridge, a 1960 single-story home with attached two-car garage set back behind a mature banana plant and tree-shaded driveway — The street approach. Set back, shaded, and quiet on a hillside cul-de-sac block.

Rear elevation showing the deep concrete patio, sliding glass door access, and a single-story rear wing under California sun — The patio. A wide, level slab off the living wing, ready for a table and a long afternoon.

Wide view of the great room at 635 Longridge with white-beamed vaulted ceiling, oak hardwood floors, dining area beside the railing, and the rear patio beyond the open glass — Inside the main level. White-beamed vault overhead, oak underfoot, a clean rail detail running the length of the room.

The Block

A walk down Longridge.

A short walk past 635 tells you what kind of street this is. Stucco Mediterraneans at twilight. A storybook Tudor a few doors down. The architecture is what's held Crocker Highlands' value for nearly a century.

A two-story stucco home on Longridge Road photographed at twilight with warm interior light and a sunset sky behind the mature street trees — A neighbor at twilight. The way the block lives in the evening.

A stucco Spanish Colonial home down the street from 635 Longridge with arched doorway and tall shuttered windows, lit warmly from within at dusk — A Spanish Colonial nearby. The kind of house that gives the street its name.

A modern stucco residence on Longridge with palm trees in the front yard and an attached single-car garage facing the street — Another nearby home. Updated, but in keeping with the street.

A garden walk-up to a traditional Crocker Highlands home with flowering shrubs framing a flagstone path to the front door — A garden walk-up close by. The Crocker Highlands rhythm: mature plantings, considered paths.

A storybook Tudor home on a Crocker Highlands street with steep gabled roof, decorative half-timbering, and bursts of orange flowers in the front garden — A Tudor a few doors down. The neighborhood the home steps into.

The bones are right. The street is unrepeatable. The rest is the next owner's to write.

The Residence

Bring your vision.

The address is the headline. 635 Longridge sits on one of Oakland's most established and coveted streets, a quiet hillside block in the Crocker Highlands / Lakeshore pocket, with Lake Merritt and the Grand Lake / Lakeshore Avenue corridor a few minutes down the hill.

Inside, hardwood floors run through generous living areas and the white-beamed vault keeps the main level bright from morning to last light. The upper-level primary has its own bath and two closets. The other bedrooms hold up as bedrooms, offices, or whatever the household needs them to be.

The lower level is where the plan opens up: a fourth bedroom, a full bath, and a den with a built-in bar and double sliders that walk straight out to the backyard. Media room, multi-gen suite, the place every gathering ends up. The room is built for any of it.

The kitchen is original. The baths are original. The bones are right and the street is unreplicable. What happens next is up to whoever moves in.

The Street

A Hillside Cul-De-Sac

Quiet block above Lake Merritt. Tudor next door, Spanish Colonial across the way, this 1960 split-level in the middle. Crocker Highlands has held its architecture for almost a century.

The Plan

Three Levels, Flexible

Upper-level primary with its own bath. Main-level living. Lower-level bedroom, full bath, and den with backyard access.

The Walk

Down To The Lake

Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake theatre, the Saturday farmers market, and the Lakeshore restaurant row. Minutes from the door.

The Details

What makes it work.

A Primary That Retreats

The upper-level primary suite stays separate from the rest of the plan, with its own bath and two closets. A real bedroom, not a glorified loft.

A Den With A Bar

The lower level holds a den or rec room with a built-in bar and double sliding doors directly to the backyard. The room every gathering ends up in.

Indoor To Outdoor

The first level opens directly to an exterior patio and walkway. The lower level walks out through double sliders. Two levels, two ways outside.

Light, All Day

The listing calls out abundant natural light. The vaulted main-level room shows why: tall ceilings, full glass to the patio, and a hillside aspect that catches the morning and the late afternoon.

A Two-Car Garage

Two attached garage spaces, on-site driveway parking, and a quiet hillside street. In Oakland, that combination is its own line item.

Room To Update

The plan and the bones are here. The finishes are a buyer's call. A genuine canvas in a neighborhood where finished homes trade well above the list.

The Neighborhood

Crocker Highlands, as it lives.

A walkable hillside pocket between Lake Merritt and the Oakland hills, anchored by the Grand Lake Theatre, the Saturday farmers market, and the Lakeshore Avenue restaurant row. Crocker Highlands has been one of the East Bay's most steady neighborhoods for nearly a century, and the architecture is the reason it stays that way.

The 580 is a few blocks up the hill. BART, the Bay Bridge, and downtown San Francisco are a straight shot. The lake is a fifteen-minute walk, downhill.
