Charming shingled New England-style home in the heart of Rockridge that is actually three homes in one: the expansive three-story front home, and two bright little houses in back that wrap around a giant Oakland oak. One block away you’ll find the gourmet markets, coffee houses, and independent boutiques that line College Avenue, plus BART and easy freeway access. And, local lore—and several neighbors—attest that the band Jefferson Airplane lived here in the sixties…

Enter the front home via a tall wooden gate spilling over with honeysuckle. French doors beckon from an ample porch, and a more formal entry on the side takes you into a large living room with oak flooring, fireplace, high ceilings, and large original paned windows. The dining room looks out to a garden of mature camellia bushes, and there’s an adjacent kitchen nook with built-in benches. Upstairs, find three bedrooms and a recently remodeled bathroom with marble tile, and then up again to a third floor dream space of light and views. Both the 2-bedroom and single-bedroom units in the back match the front home with their shingled exteriors, natural light, and spaciousness.
