About the Property
3971 Whittle is a 1934 Mediterranean home on a beloved block in the Oakmore neighborhood. The arched front window and arched opening from the entry welcome you into this level-in property. You’ll love the space that this home offers with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on each level, which includes a spacious primary suite with a large western-facing window to take in a nice sunset sky. Hang out in the den with a fireplace and sliding doors to the backyard, or soak in the sunshine in the stairwell with a large picture window.
After raising their 2 boys, Alex and Toby, in this home, it is hard to say goodbye. The longtime owners loved being so close to Dimond Park and Lions Pool, they loved to stop at Peet's for coffee, Dimond Slice for some of the best veggie pizza, and Los Comales for a burrito in the Dimond district of Oakland which is a few blocks away. Up the hill, La Acajou was a frequented café in the Woodminster area.
This home has refinished hardwood floors and new solid oak floors added to the kitchen and den. There is new carpet on the stairs and in the upstairs bedrooms, as well as freshly painted interior walls and new made-to-order in the USA light fixtures (2024), but what makes this property great for so many is the opportunity to make it your own. How will you restore the detached garage, what type of shrubs and perennials will you plant in the backyard, and how will you use the long tandem driveway? After 25 years and many fond memories, this home is ready for its next stewards.
