919 Mckinley Ave

919 McKinley is a lovingly renovated Craftsman with new foundation and gorgeous open kitchen. This delightful home features original millwork with simple, clean lines, flat square edges, exposed joinery, and custom mantels & trim. This is the former residence of Jackie Jensen, arguably Oakland’s most interesting man*! The main level features quintessential Arts & Crafts style living & dining rooms with hardwood floors, fireplace and built-ins; a stunning eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, designer tile & Bosch appliances; recently update bathroom with marble tile and deep soaking tub; and a large bedroom with views over the rear yard. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with solid oak flooring, a powder room and a radiant sunroom with southwesterly views over the Oakland skyline. The fenced backyard is a delight with a fire pit, raised vegetable garden, mature lemon tree, flagstone patio and synthetic lawn. A detached garage is well suited for use as an office. Cleveland Heights borders Lakeshore and Trestle Glen. Lake Merritt, Trader Joe’s, Grand Lake Farmer’s Market & Glenview are all within a mile. * Jackie Jensen is the first person to play in the Rose Bowl, World Series & MLB All-Star Game and won the AL MVP in 1958!
