13474 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619

Built in 1956 by the family that's selling it today, bidding farewell to the sweetest rancher in town. Perfectly perched above the boulevard, with sparkling swimming pool and lovely views of the bay. This timeless home has survived the raising of four rambunctious boys and has responded happily to recent updates: New cooktop, oven, dishwasher; primary bathroom makeover; refinished wood floors; new electric panels; and compliant sewer lateral. Easy all-level layout and warm exposed-beam vaulted ceiling. A roomy family area off the kitchen leads out to the pool apron and wide patio. The detached laundry room also serves as a cabana for a quick-change into bathing suits. Set on 1.16 acres, the hillside above is ready for orchard, swings, or viewing platform. Plenty of parking on the generous driveway and a two-car garage/workshop with "old school" sliding doors. Abutting Vista Madera (now City Stables) which adjoins Anthony Chabot Park. Formerly cattle grazing and horse country in Rancho San Antonio days, this land still echos with its ranchero history. Discover a unique historical corner of Oakland!
