Looking to tastefully restore a beautiful Craftsman in the vibrant and dynamic neighborhood of Bushrod? Look no further - a terrific opportunity awaits. Period details abound from the moment you walk up to an inviting and spacious front porch. Upon entering you will be enveloped by hardwood floors, box beams and coffered ceilings, stained glass accents, and two restored fireplaces: one in the living room and the other in the adjacent dining room with built in shelving - an ideal layout and floor plan for entertaining family and guests. Additionally, there's a bedroom on the first level that could easily double as a guest room or home office or both and a half bathroom. On the second level are three well apportioned bedrooms including a light filled primary with a high vaulted ceiling, exposed wood beams, and dramatic windows, the main bathroom, and a laundry closet. Down below the house is a large basement for a workshop or hobby space. The backyard is spacious and offers a myriad of possibilities depending on ones lifestyle and needs. Location location location. Bushrod is close to everything: nearby Bushrod park is just a short walk and so are a wide variety of restaurants and cafes, a farmer's market in nearby Temescal, bicycle boulevards and easy access to two BART stations (Ashby and Rockridge), adjacent bus lines, and the freeway for an easy commute. Delightfully livable now with an infinite amount of possibilities in the future. This one is truly special and is not to be missed!
Bushrod, located between Temescal and Rockridge, is a residential and academic Oakland neighborhood with Craftsman-lined blocks and a low-key, walkable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Telegraph Ave and 59th St corridor, where espresso bars, small restaurants, and everyday storefronts set a steady street rhythm. The Peralta Hacienda Historical Park & Museum grounds the area’s deeper timeline, while Temescal Brewing and the Oakland California Temple (visitor-friendly grounds) act as recognizable local markers nearby. Housing leans toward early-20th-century bungalows and duplexes, with pockets of newer infill. Tree shade, front porches, and compact yards shape the streetscape. BART and AC Transit lines along the edges keep the neighborhood connected without changing its quiet cadence.
