792 19th St

They don’t make them like they used to—and this beautifully crafted Victorian on 19th Street is a shining example. Welcome to 792 19th St., a remarkable 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home filled with timeless character and generous, sunlit spaces. Step through the front door and discover a gorgeous colored glass window in the foyer. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, wood floors, elegant chandeliers, and a spacious kitchen set the scene. The kitchen features newer appliances and a walk-in pantry, while the well-proportioned bedrooms include one with its own half bath. Throughout the home, original craftsmanship is woven into every detail: handsome baseboards, milled redwood trim, ornate door hardware, fish-scale exterior shingles, and a graceful lathe-turned balustrade on the front porch. These distinctive touches lend the home an enduring charm and a sense of artistry that invites you to slow down and take it all in. Modern updates to the heating system and electrical work complement the home’s generous layout. An expansive (aka huge) attic offers exciting potential for future expansion, while the walkable basement level enjoys impressive natural light and includes laundry, additional rooms*, and a half bath. A long driveway sits behind a new wooden gate (2026). Plus, two side-by-side garages—with tall ceilings and their own gated entrance off West Street—offer exceptional flexibility. Attached to the garages, a spacious studio features new overhead lighting, abundant natural light, and a level concrete floor—an inviting space for creative work or projects. The southwest-facing outdoor areas offer a fresh lawn, raised beds, new plantings (2026), and a recently installed irrigation system. Rooted in Oakland’s rich history, 19th Street is known for its “open sky” underground power lines and a collection of well-preserved Victorian and turn-of-the-century Craftsman homes. Enjoy easy access to the energy of Uptown and smooth access to nearby freeways, all while coming home to a place with a character and warmth entirely its own. We look forward to welcoming you to this very special home.
