About 5040 Melrose Ave

Behind a gate and a garden adorned with blooming jasmine and colorful wildflowers, this updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers both charm and comfort in Oakland’s desirable Fairfax district. With its deep blue facade, inviting front porch, and mature shade tree, the curb appeal is undeniable—and what awaits inside is just as compelling. The living area features recessed lighting, dark-stained wood floors, and clean white walls, offering a blank canvas for your personal style. Its open layout flows easily into a bright kitchen outfitted with a gas stove, dishwasher, and sleek dark cabinetry that contrasts beautifully with the light counters and backsplash. Just beyond, a stacked washer and dryer is tucked into a laundry nook for everyday convenience. Both bedrooms enjoy good natural light, and the modern bathroom is finished with large-scale textured tile, a frameless glass shower, and a rainfall showerhead with a handheld attachment for spa-like function. Outside, the yard is thoughtfully landscaped with drought-tolerant plants and accented by a paved patio—ideal for entertaining or quiet weekends. This home is located near the 580 and 880 freeways, providing quick access to the rest of the East Bay.
