Bordering Temescal on the edge of North Oakland’s commuter-friendly Bushrod neighborhood, this two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow blends cottage-core charm with modern functionality. Its inviting palette of soft sage and buttery yellow sets a cozy yet vibrant tone. Vintage character shines through original hardwood floors, classic built-ins, and a welcoming front porch. The updated kitchen pairs butcher-block counters with stainless steel appliances, while contemporary tile with gold accents complement richly colored cabinets. A renovated bath adds luxury to the theme with a walk-in shower soothing sage tile and cottage vibes. Outside, farmhouse-style garden containers and a large wooden deck enhance the cottage aesthetic. A rustic barn light and flagstones lead to the converted garage, now a sunlit creative retreat with skylights and double French doors opening to the garden. Bushrod offers excellent walkability and bikeability, with Whole Foods nearby and Bushrod Park’s tennis courts and green space just blocks away. Rockridge BART, just over a mile away, makes commuting to SF or downtown Oakland a breeze.
