Charming three-bedroom Craftsman home with a thoughtfully reimagined backyard in the heart of Temescal. A sun-filled living room with bay windows and period hardwood floors flows into a gracious formal dining room anchored by a statement fireplace with a patterned Fireclay tile hearth and surround and original built-in shelving. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Fireclay backsplash and generous counter space. Two bedrooms and an updated full bathroom are located off the main hallway, while the third bedroom at the rear offers flexibility for guests or a home office. Additional features include air conditioning and a dedicated laundry room with a side-by-side washer and dryer beneath a butcher-block counter. A window-wrapped sunroom, measuring an additional 163 square feet, creates an inviting transition to the garden. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the landscaped backyard features dining and lounge areas beneath an adjustable slatted pergola, a level lawn, mature landscaping, raised vegetable beds, a garden shed, and an abundance of fruit trees and vines. A long driveway provides convenient off-street parking. Ideally located just blocks from Temescal’s award-winning restaurants, cafs, boutiques, and farmers’ market, and minutes from Telegraph Avenue, College Avenue, and Piedmont Avenue. With both Rockridge and MacArthur BART stations just minutes away and major commuter routes nearby, the home offers an ideal combination of neighborhood charm and city convenience! What a wonderful place to call home.
