4753 El Centro Ave, Oakland, CA 94602

Welcome to 4753 El Centro Avenue, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offering 1,953 square feet of inviting Mediterranean-inspired living in the... heart of Oakland. This charming residence features an open main floor with warm natural light streaming through every room, highlighting the stunning hardwood floors and freshly painted interior. The split-level layout provides multiple cozy nooks, perfect for relaxation or work-from-home spaces. Each bedroom enjoys access to a private patio, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for entertaining or quiet moments. The home offers a sense of seclusion with privacy from neighbors and a private easement behind the property that enhances the serene atmosphere.

The kitchen comes equipped with a 6-burner gas range/oven/built-in air fryer, Subzero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Additional amenities include a washer & dryer with laundry sink, bathroom wall heaters, a newer roof, and a one-car garage with space for two additional vehicles in the driveway. Landscaping service is included, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings with ease, including a Meyer lemon tree in the backyard.

We are seeking an ideal resident interested in a 1–2 year lease who will appreciate the home's character and thoughtful details. Small dogs are preferred, and cats are considered with care due to the original hardwood flooring. This thoughtfully designed home combines charm, comfort, and convenience in one of Oakland's most desirable neighborhoods.

Walking distance to two small villages with restaurants, food markets, and seasonal food trucks. Enjoy longtime favorite Italian restaurant, Marzano, rotating craft beer at Paulista (and a lively trivia night), gourmet weekend brunch at Bellanico, or the newest favorite taco shop just opened in Glenview. A longer walk through Piedmont (or close drive) takes you to the Sunday farmer's market in Montclair. Active neighborhood groups on all sides organize block parties, holiday cookie exchanges, informal backyard hangouts and more, providing for a rare community feel right outside the door. Located in the lower Oakland hills gives it an ideal location to be close to shopping and dining in all directions while still feeling private.
