Tucked behind a meadowscape front garden in the heart of Temescal, this charming single-level three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has a wonderful sense of privacy while keeping all the energy of the neighborhood close at hand.  Through the front gate, the home opens to a garden with fruit trees, mature plantings, and a wisteria-covered pergola with a hot tub tucked underneath. It is an unexpected and inviting place to unwind or gather with friends. Just inside the gate, a separate bonus space offers a convenient spot for a home office, studio, or whatever extra space you need. There is also on-site parking, a welcome convenience in this popular neighborhood.  Inside, the home combines original character with a clean, updated feel. Wide-plank flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, while original built-ins add a sense of history. The kitchen features bright quartz countertops and opens to the living area, making the space easy for both everyday life and entertaining. The bedrooms are nicely separated, with the primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom on one side of the home and two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom on the other. One of the bedrooms has a custom-painted mural on the ceiling, a playful detail that gives the room a personality all its own.  Living here means being surrounded by one of Oakland's best neighborhood scenes. Grab coffee and pastries at Forma Bakery, dinner at Pizzaiolo or FOB Kitchen, or a meal at Burdell. Telegraph Avenue is right around the corner, with plenty more restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and neighborhood favorites to explore.  Here, some of Oakland's best dining, shopping, and neighborhood amenities are right outside your door.
