The Mitchell Warren Team is pleased to present The Ellen Kenna House, located on 1218 East 21st Street just blocks from Lake Merritt. This large Victorian-era mansion is named after its original owner, Ellen Kenna. The Ellen Kenna House was designated an Oakland Landmark in 1992. Designed by architect Augustus Laver and built-in 1888, it consists of nineteen bedrooms plus exquisitely detailed common areas, nine full bathrooms, two laundry hookups, and off-street parking including a separate two-car enclosed garage. Completed seismic work increases the desirability for an owner wishing to make further improvements such as developing the 3,000 sq. ft. basement or building out a second kitchen with hookups upstairs. This grand property supports many uses, from short term-tenants or co-living to owner occupancy with plenty of project and entertainment space as well as the potential for renting to offset the owner’s costs. The gracious interior spaces have even been rented out repeatedly for high-end marketing shoots. This is truly a rare pride-of-ownership asset.

The Ellen Kenna house is located in the charming Clinton Neighborhood of Oakland just blocks from Lake Merritt. Situated south of Grand Avenue, the location allows tenants the convenience of Trader Joe's, Starbucks Coffee, and various cafes and shops, all within walking distance. Tenants may also indulge in the best of Oakland’s restaurants and nightlife including the charming Grand Lake Theatre just a short distance from the property. Commuters will appreciate the proximity of city bus lines and the Lake Merritt BART Station, allowing access to the entire Bay Area. This location will continue to demand premium tenants and maintain a low vacancy rate.
