About the building

THE FIREHOUSE AT 56TH A PRIVATE LIVE/WORK LOFT WITH GARDEN COURTYARD A rare ground-floor conversion inside a historic firehouse in North Oakland, this expansive 2,200 sq ft loft offers a level of volume, light, and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in the Bay Area. Originally part of a working fire station, the space retains its industrial DNA while opening into a calm, light-filled environment defined by soaring 16-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and a continuous sense of openness that shifts effortlessly between living, working, and creative use. At its center is a vast main hall-scale living/work space ideal for studio work, design practice, or open residential living framed by multiple additional rooms that allow for privacy, an office, and guest space. A perfect combination of historic character with modern livability. The kitchen anchors the space with practical flow and direct connection to the main volume, while two full bathrooms support comfortable multi-use living. Outside, a rare garden courtyard and private side yard extend the experience beyond the walls, offering a quiet outdoor refuge that feels almost impossible to find in this scale of loft living in Oakland. Prime Location Located just steps from Dover Street Park, and within easy walking distance to the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafes of Temescal and Rockridge, this residence offers the best of both worlds, urban convenience and a peaceful retreat. A Unique Opportunity Awaits With its perfect blend of style, function, and tranquility, this remarkable home offers an unmatched opportunity to live and work in a truly one-of-a-kind space. Don't miss your chance to make it yours. P.S. Sorry, there's no firepole... but we promise the creativity here will ignite your imagination just as much!
