Introducing The Historic Rubino House

Step into a timeless masterpiece at 855 Longridge Road, where old-world elegance meets modern comfort in prestigious Crocker Highlands. Built in 1927 and designed by renowned architect Bert E. Remmel, this distinguished Sicilian-inspired villa offers a rare opportunity to experience Oakland’s rich architectural heritage. Situated on a 6,534 square-foot lot, the property offers a serene setting while being just a short stroll from the vibrant Lakeshore district, known for its diverse shops, dining, and entertainment options.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a grand marble foyer with a striking split staircase, setting the tone for the home's elegant design and timeless sophistication. To the right of the foyer, the living room is ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The formal dining room boasts exquisite crown molding, an original antique chandelier, a custom wrought iron gate, and the original dining set; a testament to the home's enduring legacy, preserving the charm of a bygone era. Throughout the home elegant arched windows, antique hardware, and period details add to its historic character. The gourmet kitchen includes modern conveniences such as two dishwashers, wine captain, and pantry. The lower level offers additional versatile spaces, including an art studio, and a fully equipped temperature-controlled wine cellar.
