About This Home
Push open the big, beautiful gates and the city falls away. What's waiting is a secret garden — the kind of romantic, storybook entry that makes you feel like you've slipped into an English cottage, right in the heart of Temescal.
Here's the part you'll appreciate long after the charm wins you over: this home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, so behind those original double-hung windows and hardwood floors lives all-new plumbing, new electrical, and a forced-air furnace. You get the soul of a vintage home with none of the 3-a.m. surprises. Character up front, peace of mind underneath.
At 901 square feet, your light-filled upstairs home lives large. The kitchen is brand new — stone counters and room to actually cook — and the bathroom's fresh, too. The formal dining room still wears its original built-in cabinetry, a little love letter from the home's first chapter. Your bedroom keeps you cozy with a fireplace and built-ins, plus a walk-in closet, and a separate den gives you room for the home office, the reading nook, or whatever you dream up. In-unit laundry means no more hunting for quarters, ever.
And storage? You win. This home comes with a huge private storage locker with its own entrance — room for the bikes, the holiday bins, the wine, the someday projects, all of it. In condo life, that's basically buried treasure.
Step back outside and the common gardens are yours to enjoy: fire up the grill, gather at the picnic area, or wind the evening down by the fire pit. And in a neighborhood this walkable, when you'd rather someone else cook, Temescal's best restaurants and shops are just two blocks away.
Charm you can't fake, bones you can count on, in a neighborhood everyone's trying to get into.
Fully remodeled to the studs: new plumbing, electrical, and forced-air heating. New kitchen with stone counters, new bathroom, hardwood floors throughout, original double-hung windows, in-unit laundry, wood-burning fireplace, original built-in cabinetry, walk-in closet, and a flexible den. Private and massive storage locker with separate entrance. Common gardens with grill, picnic area, and fire pit. Walkable Temescal, Oakland location — 2 blocks to restaurants and shopping. 1 bed / 1 bath / 901 sq ft.

Known as one of the oldest neighborhoods in North Oakland, Temescal is filled with plenty of rich history, and is a fun place to call home. Temescal features a variety of real estate options, from cozy condos to spacious two-story homes, and everything in between. Most of the single family homes in the neighborhood were built during the 1910s and 1920s, with all of the charm of the early 20th-century, but with fully renovated interiors and exteriors. If you have been in the market for a North Oakland neighborhood with a vibrant commercial district, recreation centers, and convenient access to public transportation and highways, Temescal is a great place to search.
Two of Temescal’s most popular public facilities are located near the intersection of Shafter Avenue and 45th Street; the most notable of these facilities is the Studio One Arts Center. In addition to its annual array of Art Camps, Studio One Arts Center also provides a variety of classes in the Performing Arts, hands-on crafts, painting, and so much more. Adjacent to the Arts Center is the Temescal Pool, which is a great place for adults and kids who want to swim laps, or simply cool off during the summer months.
When Temescal residents need to shop, run errands or enjoy a meal with friends and family, they usually head to Telegraph Avenue, which serves as the main commercial district of the neighborhood. The restaurants along Telegraph Avenue feature several different ethnic cuisines, as well as a tasty option for any time of day. Some of the notable restaurants include:
The CRO Cafe: Located just east of Telegraph Avenue, along 49th Street, this small cafe offers big flavor via their hand-crafted espresso drinks, pastries, and granola. Their outdoor seating provides the perfect atmosphere for enjoying a morning pick-me-up.
Bird & Buffalo: The name of this popular Thai restaurant may not be what you’d expect, their menu certainly delivers for Thai cuisine enthusiasts. Whether it’s a bowl of Drunken Noodles or something hot off the grill, this is the perfect spot for a tasty lunch or dinner.
Asmara: One of several Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants in Temescal, Asmara has been serving delicious North-African cuisine since 1985. In addition to their authentic Eritrean dishes, they also offer smoothies, an incredible cocktail menu, and Tej, a homemade honey wine.
MacArthur BART Station is located near the southwest corner of Temescal, and provides convenient access to Downtown Oakland (south) Downtown San Francisco (west), Berkeley (north), and the Coliseum. Plus, there are numerous bus routes that service the Temescal neighborhood, making it simple to travel to nearby neighborhoods such as Bushrod, Emeryville, and Longfellow. State Route 24 hugs the western border of Temescal, which connects seamlessly with Interstates 580 and 980.
