Situated upon a beautifully landscaped one-third-acre promontory, 1924 7th Avenue is a unique opportunity to own a legacy estate unlike any other in Oakland. Gated and set above the street, this extraordinary property offers a rare sense of privacy, history, and artistic inspiration. Originally owned by renowned California artist Raymond Dabb Yelland—whose luminous paintings of Lake Merritt and the Bay were exhibited in major museums—the estate served as both his home and creative sanctuary. Yelland built his atelier on the grounds, and the main Victorian residence still bears his signature as if it were one of his canvases. Today, the property encompasses three distinct residences, each with its own tranquil garden setting. The primary home is a gracious three-bedroom Victorian plus office, offering views across the estate’s layered landscaping. Below it, a modern one-bedroom garden apartment provides a stylish and self-contained living space. At the rear of the property, the charming cottage apartment includes one bedroom plus an office, ideal for guests, extended family, or creative use. A rare offering that blends architectural heritage, artistic provenance, and multi-residential flexibility—all just moments from Lake Merritt, the city center, BART and the best of Oakland.
