6024 Mauritania Ave Oakland, CA 94605

A bold wink of a front door punctuates the cool blue face of this 1923 Millsmont home — it’s a traditional facade with a sense of adventure waiting to be discovered behind the yellow door. Set up off the street, the three-bedroom house lives large, thanks to a classic layout and bright, sun-filled rooms … and the spacious backyard which creates a livable outdoor retreat, with countless fun and functional possibilities. Sunshine from the bay window floods the living room, and the cozy window seat is a perfect spot to relax with a book and coffee (and the built in bench storage a bonus!). The space embraces an open and airy aesthetic, with a graceful scale allowing for living and dining spaces to coexist harmoniously. Gleaming wood floors play up the light with a natural patina and color that highlight the original beauty. An exposed brick wall with an efficient gas fireplace is flanked by big windows, and original glass-front built-ins.
