About this home
Opportunity to Restore a Classic Oakland Home to Its Former Glory. 881 21st Street presents an exciting opportunity for an investor, contractor, or experienced renovator to restore a character-filled Oakland residence and bring it back to its glory days. The home retains attractive architectural character, including high ceilings, substantial trim and moldings, hardwood flooring, and spacious living areas. Portions of the main living level, including the kitchen and bedrooms, remain comparatively intact and provide a glimpse of the property's potential once fully rehabilitated. The property has sustained extensive fire and smoke damage, primarily concentrated on the lower level. A comprehensive rehabilitation will be required, and buyers should independently investigate the condition of the structure, electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, and other fire-affected components. With the right vision and investment, this property offers the opportunity to restore its original charm while incorporating modern improvements. The existing character and remaining interior features provide a strong foundation for a thoughtful renovation.
