Hot Property: West Oakland ramshackle residence revived, reimagined

Mathew’s latest reclamation project is 1709 Chase St., a four-bedroom, two-story home with new systems throughout and hardwood flooring spanning the nearly 1,800 square-feet of living space.

A new roof, fresh foundation and updated electrical system pair with on-demand water heating to provide peace of mind at this turnkey residence.

A bay of arched windows hints at the home’s architectural heritage, while orange-hued timber beams draws eyes to the facade.

A teal tile backsplash in the kitchen contrasts with the classic white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.

The integrated cooktop sits beneath a contemporary exhaust hood with graceful curves and across from a built-in breakfast bar.

French doors off the adjacent dining area open to a deck overlooking the surrounding streets and homes.

A master suite with access to the backyard and drought-tolerant garden highlights the lower level.

Recessed lights sit beside exposed beams in the soaring ceiling and the spa bathroom includes a walk-in glass shower with river rock floor that’s easily big enough for two.

Rebuilt four-bedroom offers abundant natural light, a new foundation, on-demand water heating and a new roof.

The main level offers a great room with stylish finishes and French doors opening to an elevated deck.
