Vintage Craftsman Duplex in Sought-After Glenview

4011-4015 Brighton Avenue offers a rare chance to acquire and update a vintage 1920s side-by-side Craftsman duplex in Oakland’s desirable Glenview neighborhood—an excellent option for investors, owner-occupiers, or those seeking a multi-generational compound. Combining period character with clear value-add potential, the property stands out in one of the city’s most popular residential areas.

Comfortable, Character-Filled Layouts

Each unit features a one-bedroom, one-bathroom floor plan with its own living room and eat-in kitchen. Large windows and hardwood floors bring in natural light and highlight the home’s Craftsman details, while the layouts offer a practical and flexible canvas for thoughtful updates.

Bedrooms are tucked toward the rear for privacy, with living spaces up front designed for everyday comfort or entertaining. Original details remain intact throughout, creating an appealing blend of vintage charm and future opportunity.

Practical Features & Storage

Both residences have private entries and generously sized kitchens. Full baths are set off central halls for convenience. Below the units, two individual garage spaces are accompanied by laundry, storage, and basement areas, adding functionality rarely found in this vintage of property.

Coveted Glenview Location

Set at the edge of Glenview near the Trestle Glen neighborhood, the duplex benefits from a prime Oakland location. Park Boulevard’s cafés, restaurants, schools and conveniences are only blocks away, while nearby Dimond Park and others provide extensive recreation opportunities. Quick access to Hwy 580 and AC Transit connections makes commuting to downtown Oakland, San Francisco, and the greater East Bay straightforward.

For value-add potential in an area where duplexes are rare, this opportunity is not to be missed.
