Your Pinterest board brought to life
Step into a home that’s as stylish as it is welcoming—a 2018 gem that’s anything but ordinary! From the moment you enter, the whimsical wallpaper and soaring ceilings set the tone for something special. Sunlight streams through oversized windows, filling every corner with warmth and good vibes.
The open-concept layout is built for how we live today, blending the living, dining, and kitchen spaces into one seamless flow. The kitchen? Total showstopper. Think sleek stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar that’s perfect for your morning latte or late-night snacks. Step outside, and you’ve got a dreamy back deck and patio with a pergola and retractable shade—perfect for summer lounging, grilling with friends, or winding down under the stars. Need extra space? Two flexible rooms on the main level are ready to be your home office, art studio, or gaming zone—whatever fits your vibe. There’s even a guest-friendly half bath on this level.
Head upstairs, and you’ll find three bright, airy bedrooms, including a primary suite worthy of your Pinterest board, complete with its own ensuite bath. Two other spacious bedrooms share a chic hall bath, making it perfect for family, roommates, or out-of-town guests. Plus, there’s stacked laundry, two-car tandem parking, and plenty of storage to keep things easy and clutter-free.
And let’s talk location—a stone’s throw from Temescal, one of the coolest neighborhoods around. Amazing restaurants, indie boutiques, and that buzzing energy everyone loves are right at your doorstep. Need to head back into the office? We’ve got you covered with close proximity to BART and commuter shuttles.
This isn’t just a house—it’s a lifestyle. Ready to call it home?

A note from the sellers who know this home and neighborhood best
Dear future neighbors,
When we bought this house, we thought we were buying a house. What we got was a rhythm of daily life we didn't know we were signing up for.
The shape of our weekends tells the story best. Saturday mornings start with a 15-minute walk to Good Gym, followed by a croissant from one of the half-dozen places within strolling distance. Forma is the one we keep coming back to — the weekend line is real, but the croissants are the best in the Bay Area, full stop.
The honest truth is that most of our life happens within a ten-minute walk. Haircuts at Temescal Alley Barbershop. A beer or a midweek event at Temescal Brewing, which became our default hangout. Korean food on weeknights after the gym, when cooking felt like too much. A walk to Whole Foods when we ran out of milk — or, when we were feeling lazy, a fifteen-minute round trip in the car.
The walkability is the obvious draw, but what surprised us is how convenient the driving is too. Costco on a weekday is twelve to fifteen minutes. Oakland airport is 15 minutes away. Emeryville has everything else — Target, Home Depot, the movie theater, the Apple store. Tokyo Central is our go-to when we need prepared food or sushi right now. And Berkeley Bowl — every North Oakland local will tell you the same thing — is unbeatable for fresh produce. Better than any farmers market, though there's a great one of those a walk away too if you prefer.
The access to the rest of the world is just as good. We both worked in the Financial District, and the door-to-door time from our offices was 35 minutes at a casual BART-strolling pace. Driving into the city is the same story off-peak — coming home at 8pm after a dinner or a show, you're back in 12 to 20 minutes from just about anywhere in San Francisco. And when we wanted to leave the Bay entirely, Napa was about an hour up the road. It became our favorite weekend getaway, and the easy drive was half of why we went so often.
If you're new to the area and want to test-drive what life here is like, here's what we'd suggest: park in Temescal, grab a beer at Temescal Brewing or a coffee and croissant at Forma, and just walk. If it's dinnertime, try for a seat at Burdell or Snail Bar. Wander toward Rockridge if you've got time. Then get back in your car and notice how quickly you're at Home Depot, Target, the movie theater, the Apple store, Tokyo Central, Trader Joe's, Safeway — and how, on a Saturday afternoon, you could just as easily point the car north and be in Napa by dinner.
That's the thing we never quite got over: a totally walkable village for everyday life, and the rest of the Bay Area — the city, the wine country, all of it — sitting one easy drive away. What we'll miss most, though, are the neighbors. At least once a week we'd end up chatting with someone in passing. Chatting with their kids about various school activities. They gave us the most thoughtful baby shower gifts, and stepped in to help with our elderly dog more times than we can count. The kind of block you hope you land on.
We hope you love it here as much as we did.
