Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Oakland’s Mills Garden neighborhood, this thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers the rare combination of modern efficiency, verdant gardens, and a close-knit community. Known to neighbors as “The Avocasa,” the property is centered around a mature Guatemalan avocado tree that yields abundant fruit and year-round shade. Formerly owned by fruit growers, the professionally landscaped front and rear gardens are designed for four-season harvests, producing guava, fig, apple, pear, plum, peach, nectaplum, and raspberry.

Interior upgrades include a redesigned laundry nook with custom cabinetry, butcher block counter, and new washer and dryer, as well as new kitchen appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave), updated light fixtures and bedroom ceiling fans, and fresh interior paint throughout. Energy and safety improvements are extensive: solar panels with upgraded electrical panels, seismic retrofitting, an automatic gas shutoff system, a new exterior tankless water heater, and wiring in the driveway for an EV charger. The detached garage is also wired for electricity, offering flexible use potential.

Located on a block with minimal through traffic and a strong tradition of neighborly connection—including an annual block party and residents who’ve lived on the street for decades—this home offers a rare opportunity to join a welcoming, multigenerational community. Enjoy proximity to Mills College, the Laurel District’s shops and eateries, and some of Oakland’s best parks and trailheads including Leona Canyon, Joaquin Miller, and Redwood Regional. The NX3 transbay bus offers direct service to downtown San Francisco, and Highways 580 and 13 provide quick access to Montclair, Berkeley, and beyond.

Turnkey and rich with character, 2852 60th Avenue is a rare Oakland gem that combines sustainable living, modern convenience, and timeless charm.
