North Oakland Sanctuary
Welcome to the North Oakland sanctuary that is found at 6145 Fremont Street. Recessed from the street, this corner lot is surrounded by mature trees. There is a special feeling evoked upon entering the grounds through the redwood entry door - enshrouded in a flowering vine.
Recently painted exterior has a classic color palate. The house is oriented in a way that allows natural light to touch all the rooms. Newer dual-pane windows and wide-plank oak wood floors accentuate the well-made appeal. Spacious living room, dining room, and kitchen with pantry, gracefully flow together.
The owners had a clear vision and intention when they rehabbed this property 2 years ago; to seamlessly incorporate the indoor with the outdoor. The blending of these elements is reflected throughout the home. French doors exit onto the spacious redwood deck, and outside dining area with bench seating. At the edge of the deck, there is a recessed hot tub encouraging relaxation.
The home is comprised of 4 full bedrooms and 3½ baths. On the second floor, there are 3 bedrooms, the primary bedroom faces west with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The third floor of the home has a kitchenette**, living area, bedroom, and full bath, plus west facing balcony. The bathrooms throughout the home are unique places to showcase the owner’s keen eye for detail. The beautiful deep blue tile work on both 2nd-floor baths - highlighted with golden fixtures looks simply fantastic. Teak wood cabinets converted into bathroom sinks reflect true style.
Side yard has custom storage bins with living roofs, where grasses, moss, and ferns grow - a gentle reminder of nature as you meander around this lusciously landscaped home. Front yard has an additional seating area gathered around a weathered steel chiminea, a further, gentle reminder to settle down and relax when you are home.

NEIGHBORHOOD
6145 Fremomt St is located on the border of Emeryville but in the City of Oakland proper - as the locals call it - NORTH OAKLAND.
Interestingly, this section of town is where three cities all meet up (North Oakland, Emeryville, and Berkeley) - some call this NOBE. This small corridor between Berkeley and Oakland is bordered by the eastern shore of the Bay where Emeryville is located.
Though geographically the city of Emeryville is small—just a bit more than one square mile—there’s a great deal of function and influence packed into it. Emeryville’s prime location is the hub of several major freeways and is an important transcontinental railway connection with service to Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago. Known as a dynamic arts and music community, you’ll find various works of art throughout the community in the public domain. The Art in Public Places Program, as commissioned by the city government, has attracted a growing population of artists and musicians specializing in traditional as well as high-tech mediums. The major employer is Pixar Animation Studios. Locals who enjoy Pixar’s iconic animated feature films can often spot local landmarks and references in many of those movies. Another major employer is IKEA, which anchors the well-known Bay Street shopping complex, an imaginative collection of retailers, entertainment, hospitality and residential opportunities. The destination shopper’s paradise comprises more than 382,000 square feet and draws visitors from all over the greater Bay Area.
