A small house that lives large

Warm, bright, and thoughtfully redesigned over time, 1337 Excelsior Ave is a charming Glenview home where carefully chosen modern improvements complement the home's original character. The owners have made substantial upgrades over the years with an emphasis on quality materials, durability, and everyday comfort.

Hardwood floors run throughout the light-filled interior, while the kitchen and bathroom have been fully renovated with clean, timeless finishes. Behind the scenes, complete electrical improvements add modern functionality, and an owned rooftop solar system, a new mini-split heat pump for heating and cooling, new double-paned windows, and improved insulation work together to keep the home comfortable, quiet, and energy-efficient throughout the seasons.

The backyard feels like a natural extension of the living space, with a newly built deck and steps that lead to an inviting setting for outdoor meals, gatherings, and relaxed afternoons. A lush, fruiting passion fruit vine and a mature lemon tree add greenery, shade, and a distinctly California feel.

A clean, spacious garage adds abundant space for a home gym or practical storage area for bikes, tools, outdoor gear, and the things that make day-to-day life easier to organize.

The home's efficient layout makes excellent use of every square foot, creating a comfortable, manageable footprint without sacrificing storage or outdoor space. Between the well-planned interior, generous garage, and usable backyard, the home lives larger than its square footage suggests.

Set in the heart of Glenview, it's just a short stroll to the shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday conveniences along Park Boulevard. Zoned for highly ranked and desirable Oakland schools, this is a rare opportunity to own a warm, light-filled home that perfectly captures the best of East Bay living.

Walk through

Glenview, on foot

Excelsior Avenue sits in the heart of Glenview, a leafy pocket of Oakland between the Dimond district and the hills. Park Boulevard, with its cafés, restaurants, and grocery stores, is a short stroll away, so everyday errands happen on foot.

Highway 13 and I-580 are minutes away for commutes across the East Bay and into San Francisco.
