One of the first homes built in Oakmore, this 1928 Mediterranean masterpiece was designed by noted architects Miller & Warnecke and has been meticulously cared for by its current architect-owner. With 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, sweeping views from every level, elegant entertaining spaces, and expansive grounds, it stands as one of the true jewels of historic Oakmore.

Designed for effortless entertaining, a gracious entry opens to sunlit formal living and dining rooms with oversized windows and easy access to a walk-out deck—all showcasing sparkling views of the water, city, and bridges beyond. Everyday living is made easy by the remodeled kitchen with a cheerful breakfast area surrounded by windows and redwoods—lovingly referred to by its owners as the “treehouse cafe”. A bedroom and full bath complete this level—ideal for guests or a home office.

Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, highlighted by the generous ensuite primary with its own balcony, large bath, and continued panoramic views. A charming “sleeping porch” plus a deck off the guest bedrooms provides peaceful retreats or additional workspace.

The lower level delivers ultimate flexibility with a 5th bedroom, bath, and den—accessible by interior stairs or a separate entrance that opens to the patio and garden below. A large laundry room and abundant storage complete this level.

Outdoors offers a serene park-like setting with more views, brick patios, a grassy play area, outdoor fireplace and mature landscaping throughout. A 2-car garage with independent side by side access and long driveway provide easy daily logistics and ample parking for gatherings of any size.

Meticulously maintained, beautifully remodeled, and thoughtfully upgraded with seismic reinforcements, A/C, plumbing and electrical improvements, and consistent attention to upkeep, this home is built to endure. As one of Oakmore’s historic treasures, 1842 Leimert is more than a residence—it’s a piece of architectural heritage, offering beauty, privacy, and a rich connection to Oakland’s past.
