Adams Point Jewel
Nestled on a sunny urban hill on the west side of Lake Merrit, come discover 3340 Harrison St in Oakland - Adams Point. Built in 1900 this majestic A frame home will absolutely enchant you while simultaneously daring you to fall in love with some place else. Color is often impactful as it can invoke emotional responses. As you approach this home the vibrant exterior yellow and purple colors capture your gaze and incite imagination, curiosity and wonder. Perhaps because yellow is a color that symbolizes happiness, optimism, warmth and prosperity while purple's hue is linked to magic, creativity and luxury. This home oozes with Oakland magic that you can feel as you open the unique sun kissed front door.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a long built in bench seat which reveals that even 100 years ago residents appreciated the need to stow shoes, coats and handbags in a convenient and practical place by the front door. Elegant moldings, fixtures and period details are intricately woven into the tapestry of this timeless classic blending seamlessly with contemporary style and grace. The black and white tiled kitchen includes a gas range, stainless steel refrigerator, disposal and dishwasher. A large side window opens out to an exterior counter installed on the patio to assist with entertaining and party prep! Adjacent to the kitchen there is a full bathroom with a walk-in tile shower and new low-flow toilet and vanity. Wind your way up the stairs to the 2nd floor and discover 3 generous bedrooms, each adorned with walk in cedar closets. The back bedroom includes an extra room that can be an office, nursery, au pair or library. Relax, recharge and re-treat yourself to evening plunges in the oversized copper soaking tub located in the upstairs bathroom. Copper tubs are a conductor of heat so they keep the water warmer for longer. Through the magic of science, copper kills bacteria and some microbes on contact keeping your tub more hygienic by reducing germ build up.
Dual paned windows and central A/C keep things cool and quiet. The garage offers interior access to the house through the laundry room. Updated electrical systems throughout allow you to plug in from almost every wall. The rooms and spaces within this house are generous and grand with high ceilings and abundant light. A large bay window in the living room looks out to evening sunsets and city views. A fireplace accents a formal dining room that opens out to a beautifully terraced backyard featuring a full outdoor kitchen, multiple raised beds, a fire pit, numerous mature fruit trees including a lemon tree, lime tree, meyer lemon tree, pomegranate tree and apple tree. The backyard is an urban sanctuary, fully fenced in, private, secure and just waiting to host family celebrations and gatherings for years to come. This spectacular home is sure to warm your heart and delight your soul.

Adams Point, considered the “Jewel of Oakland," is located near the northern shore of Lake Merritt. The neighborhood is tucked between the Uptown Oakland and Grand Lake neighborhoods and if you’re looking for gorgeous lake views from home, The Bellevue-Staten and the elaborate, Beaux Arts-styled Regillus buildings are ideal for you. You can also find a variety of single-family homes and cozy condominiums in Adams Point, making it one of the more diverse real estate areas in Oakland.
There is more to Lake Merritt than a beautiful body of water. Adams Point residents can easily access a few of the area’s popular public parks. Nearby Lakeside Park includes Children’s Fairyland, a storybook theme park that has delighted generations of kids and even served as a model for Disneyland Park. The three-mile pathway around the lake hosts hundreds of runners and walkers each day.
If you enjoy exploring a vast array of plant life, the Gardens at Lake Merritt are a must-see. Stroll through the peaceful Bonsai and Japanese Gardens, or transport yourself to a tropical paradise in the Palm Garden.
Just south of the Gardens is where you will find the Lake Merritt Boating Center, which offers sailing classes, as well as rents kayaks canoes, and sailboats. If you have your own boat or kayak, you can use it on Lake Merritt for a small fee.
Adams Point is a short stroll from the 19th Street Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, making it a great neighborhood for commuters. Residents from Adams Point can ride to Google Headquarters in less than 40 minutes, and to the Financial District in less than 30.
