Beautifully Renovated Condo In the Heart of Temescal
From the top-floor of this quaint 1924 condo building, you would never guess you’re just a block from one of the most bustling and hip spots in Oakland. 453 51st Street is the perfect Temescal retreat beautifully renovated for those looking for modern conveniences combined with charms only found in period construction. With two bedrooms and one bath the open floor plan is ideal for entertaining and is the perfect sun filled oasis all in a fantastic centrally located spot.
You enter via the private entry stairs with coded electronic lock for an extra layer of security. Upstairs, you’ll find dark hardwood floors and a warm brass fixture illuminating the main hall. An open floor plan awaits with glass door built-ins anchoring the living space. A farmhouse style kitchen sits fully open to the rest of the home with vintage shaker style cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and a stainless steel suite of appliances including a gas range. With plenty of room to add a center island, or dining table this is easily the heart of the home.
Glass french doors open to reveal the primary bedroom, with dual wardrobes and windows overlooking Temescal greenery, it is a lovely place to unwind at the end of the day. The second bedroom is perfectly sized as a kids room or office. The shared bath has been completely remodeled with an elegant eye for design. A walnut vanity and additional built-in storage is accompanied by floor-to-ceiling subway tile, brass hardware, and designer lighting accents for a high-end experience. Dark radiant heat floor tiles, and accent paint color add to the luxurious ambiance.
A utility room is just off the kitchen, housing a space-saving combination washer & dryer machine and easy access to the detached bonus room, private studio space, and patio area. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee outdoors before completing a workout in what can easily become your at-home gym, or office space. With desirable off-street parking plus the original garage now perfect as studio space, this home has everything you need right in the thick of Temescal. Perfectly located moments to freeway access, the shopping and restaurants on Telegraph Ave., Whole Foods, Rockridge, and College Avenue, this is a rare property not to be missed.
