Grand Lake
Welcome to 495 Jean Street, a thoughtfully upgraded Dutch Colonial tucked in Oakland’s sought-after Grand Lake neighborhood. Built in 1917 and fully remodeled in 2013—with a new foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, and heating systems—this home blends timeless character with peace of mind. Since then, the owner has created a backyard sanctuary with a Japanese soaking tub, tranquil pond, and multiple private patios that make the most of every corner of the lot. On the main level, enjoy an inviting flow between the living and dining rooms, updated kitchen, and sunroom. Two sets of French doors connect the indoors with the garden, creating a natural gathering place for both quiet mornings and lively evenings with friends.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms plus a versatile office. The rear bedroom opens directly to the upper yard, offering a serene retreat with the soaking tub. The primary bedroom adjoins a sunny sitting room with views of the Oakland Hills—perfect for a cozy reading nook or morning yoga. A freestanding laundry shed offers flexibility for storage, hobbies, or creative space.
Location, location, location: stroll to the Morcom Rose Garden, the Saturday Grand Lake Farmers Market, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake Theater, and favorite cafés and shops. Quick freeway access makes commuting into San Francisco a breeze.

Neighborhood
∎
Grand Lake is a small, scenic neighborhood just two miles north of Downtown Oakland. Located on the northeast side of Interstate 580, the real estate features a mix of spacious condos, multi-plex units, and quaint Craftsman-style single family homes. The neighborhood is surrounded by some of the most popular areas in the East Bay: Adams Point to the west, Crocker Highlands to the east, and Piedmont to the north.
Many homes in Grand Lake date back to the 1920s and '30s, some designed by notable Bay Area architects like Julia Morgan, Maybeck & White, and Charles McCall. The neighborhood retains its period charm, with romantic homes in Italian Renaissance, Tudor, Spanish, Monterey, French provincial, and Colonial styles.
The Grand Lake - Oakland Farmers Market is one of the most popular in the East Bay. Every Saturday from 9:00am to 2:00pm, vendors bring their finest goods to Lake Park Avenue, offering locally grown organic produce, grass-fed meats, seafood, honey, and hand-crafted jewelry.
Grand Lake's proximity to I-580 makes commuting to San Francisco convenient. Several bus routes lead to the Salesforce Transit Center, near the Financial District and Google Headquarters.
With delicious food options along Grand Avenue, a bustling farmer's market, and easy access to transportation, it's easy to see why Grand Lake has become a popular East Bay neighborhood to call home.
