Property Description

Pleased to present The Ellen Kenna House, located on 1218 East 21st Street, just blocks from Lake Merritt. Currently fully occupied, rented individually by the room. 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 of 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 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 generous interior spaces have even been rented out repeatedly for high-end marketing shoots. This is truly a rare prideof-ownership asset.
