3381 Victor Ave
Oakland, CA 94602

In 1954, a loaf of bread was 17 cents, a new car was 2 grand, I Love Lucy was a hit, RCA produced the first color televisions for public use, and 3381 Victor Avenue was built. This 1950s Mid-century statuesque home was built to capture the views of the hillside from the large living room picture window that exudes a feeling of airiness and privacy. I can imagine when it was built, a brand new Chevrolet Bel-Air pulling into the attached garage with interior access, evening hang-outs in the downstairs rumpus room, and watching the morning light flood through the eastern-facing windows. This home has 3 bedrooms on the same level, one is a primary suite. There is an updated eat-in kitchen with a door to the backyard with a level-out patio, and a few yards away is a darling cabana with a half bathroom. Enjoy the vintage details such as the starburst-handled front door knob and working Nutone doorbell chimes, as well as the 5 new made-to-order in the USA light fixtures that compliment the Mid-century style. Mid-century architecture is known for its functionality and indoor-outdoor living and this home embraces those concepts, all while being located on a cul-de-sac street filled with 1950s homes with sunny sidewalks.
