In a world of grey, there is color.  This painted lady says "Hello beautiful" inviting you in-from her tiled wrap around porch to her classic Victorian 11-foot ceilings, 110-year-old stained glass windows, sunshine streaming into her 8-foot windows, beautiful wood floors, remodeled bathroom w/claw foot tub and updated kitchen with a sweet breakfast nook she says "yes, you have arrived darling." Splashes of color & joy greet you every step of the way all the way down to her secret garden.  In the midst of the city scape an enchanted garden awaits lush green grass, lilac, jasmin, planter boxes for the urban farmers & farm to table meals. Bistro lights rest on the fences & trellises that surround the gated garden for enchanted evenings of entertaining or star gazing. In the garden a separate studio with half bath welcomes guests, creative projects or rejuvenating. Architectural plans for an ADU basement conversion await your contemplation of expansion.  In the heart of vibrant West Oakland an oasis, your oasis? A place to remember who you are and dream of who you want to become your own sanctuary.  The Painted Lady awaits...
