Temescal Newly Remodeled Craftsman Near Shops + Restaurants

Located just two blocks from the shops and restaurants on Telegraph Ave in Oakland's sought-after Temescal neighborhood, this charming Craftsman bungalow features two bedrooms, one bathroom, formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen and a detached garage. Built in 1910 and owned by one family for the past forty-five years, the home has been newly renovated with materials and finishes that complement the home's aesthetic and history. And, on the outside, the bungalow's classic Craftsman design makes this a vintage home-lover's dream come true with a columned front porch, bay windows, traditional horizontal bead-board siding and decorative egg-and-dart trim.

The interior matches the exterior for charm and vintage details, beginning with a formal entrance hall filled with Craftsman design features. The gracious living room is to the left of the foyer, and has bay windows, a nine-foot coved ceiling, picture rails, a leaded glass transom window and a refinished vintage oak floor that continues through most rooms in the home. The dining room to the right of the entry has a high coved ceiling, and still retains the original brick and stone fireplace and built-in sideboard cabinet. The newly remodeled eat-in kitchen is located behind the dining room, and includes new Shaker-style cabinets, quartz counters, a herringbone tile backsplash, new light fixtures and plenty of natural light. A full-lite backdoor gives easy access to the landscaped backyard, convenient for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Like most authentic Craftsman homes from this era, the bedrooms are located adjacent to the living and dining rooms, and are connected by a shared bathroom. Both bedrooms are well sized, and have oak floors, nine-foot ceilings, vintage doors with beautiful vintage brass hardware, picture rails, and elegant door and window trim. The home's thoughtfully remodeled bathroom has sophisticated quartz and tile finishes, and includes a bath/shower combination.

441 51st Street offers a coveted Oakland location with easy access to Downtown/Uptown Oakland and the Cal campus, just one mile to both Rockridge and McArthur BART stations, and only blocks to Whole Foods, College and Telegraph avenues and 24/580/980 freeways. Thoughtfully remodeled and renovated, this move-in ready Craftsman is Oakland at its very best!
