3044 Blossom St., Oakland, CA 94601

Description

Three-unit Victorian in Oakland — income today, upside ahead, and a possible owner-occupant option. A classic triplex on a 6,534 sq ft RM-3 lot near the Lower Diamond/Fruitvale corridor, built for buyers who want their money working two ways. Three units, each with original hardwood floors, high ceilings, generous light, and a spacious eat-in kitchen — currently rented at $5,100/month ($61,200/year), with room to grow. Investors get an income-producing asset in a very walkable (Walk Score 83), transit-served pocket — 1031-friendly, with a detached 3-car garage (a space per unit) adding future ADU conversion value. Owner-occupants get the house-hacker's path to Oakland: live in one unit and let the other two (or three, or four... if one converts the detached garage or the extraordinary basement space) earn income. Rare resilience sets this block apart: the home is part of the Oakland EcoBlock — a UC Berkeley–led, California Energy Commission–funded pilot, and one of the first neighborhood-scale solar microgrids in California. Participating homes were upgraded and electrified, with rooftop solar tied into a shared battery and microgrid built to keep the power on during outages and trim energy bills. The large, high-ceilinged basement and detached garage point toward future added living spaces/units (buyer to verify with the City of Oakland). Detached garage, extended driveway parking, a shared yard with mature fruit trees, and EBMUD private sewer lateral compliance complete the picture. Steps to Fruitvale BART, Farmer Joe's, and Grand Lake Kitchen
