Stylish upgrades, early 20th Century architecture and an exquisite backyard oasis await in this enchanting 2BD/1BA Craftsman in Oakland’s vibrant Temescal neighborhood. From its welcoming porch, this single-level home lives large with magical gardens and backyard space for possible expansion. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of an open floor plan that’s been reimagined for modern living while retaining vintage touches. There’s an eat-in kitchen with an island, newer windows, recessed lighting, and gorgeous hardwood floors. Off the kitchen, find a convenient work station for two and separate laundry areas. A period fireplace makes the living room cozy, and you can entertain in the dining area or outside on the deck for indoor/outdoor living. With a backdrop of an extraordinary Mediterranean garden, enjoy your morning coffee or dine al fresco with friends and family. Blooming giant aloes, bountiful fruit trees, and exotic shrubs surround patios, a grassy area, and meandering paths. Back inside, the home’s sleeping wing has an upgraded full bath and two sunny bedrooms with custom closets. A long driveway and private gate provide multiple off-street parking spaces. The Transbay bus is a few blocks away, while nearby enjoy the Rockridge Farmers Market, BART, South Berkeley, and more.
