A rare opportunity to become the next steward of a home with more than a century of Oakland history. Built in 1912 and held by the same family since 1960, 357 Alcatraz Avenue is now ready to begin its next chapter. This substantial single-family residence offers an expansive five-bedroom configuration, multiple bath spaces, generous interior proportions, and the distinctive character of an early 20th-century Oakland home. Step inside and discover a scale increasingly difficult to find. Spacious rooms offer flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, working from home, creative pursuits, guests, and a variety of living arrangements. Original architectural character and thoughtful improvements made over the years reflect a home that has been continuously cared for rather than repeatedly reinvented. The kitchen, updated with quality cabinetry, granite surfaces, and a vented cooking hood, remains functional and well appointed, while the home's baths and other interior spaces provide a canvas for the next owner to personalize over time. The location further distinguishes the property. College Avenue's shops, cafés and restaurants and the Rockridge district are nearby, as is Rockridge BART, offering connections throughout the Bay Area. UC Berkeley, the Claremont Resort & Club, and major East Bay transportation corridors are also conveniently accessible. And there is a view that gives the address particular meaning: on a clear day, look toward the Bay and see Alcatraz Island—the namesake of this memorable address. The home's history is equally meaningful. The current family purchased 357 Alcatraz in the summer of 1960 after coming to Oakland from Chickasaw County, Mississippi, as part of the Great Migration. For more than six decades, the home became a place of family, continuity, and stewardship. Now, for the first time in generations, 357 Alcatraz Avenue is being offered for new ownership—a substantial Oakland residence with remarkable scale, enduring character, a compelling history, and the opportunity for its next steward to carry the story forward. 357 Alcatraz Avenue: a home with a past, a property with possibilities, and a new chapter waiting to be written.
