3879 Shafter Ave, Oakland, CA 94609

Welcome to Temescal! This tasteful remodel preserves vintage farmhouse details, hinting at character and craftsmanship that are hard to find these days. The 1906 Tudor-inspired bungalow is a delightful presence in this architecturally diverse neighborhood. 3879 Shafter features great indoor-outdoor flow, hardwood floors, tall ceilings and windows, and original storage compartments. The more recent updates include a remodeled kitchen with concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances and an updated upstairs bathroom with electric radiant heated floors and a dedicated hot water pump. The third bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor with its own separate entrance. Bonus spaces include a sunroom upstairs and a home office off the kitchen with a lovely stained glass window and French doors. The fenced-in backyard is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of opportunity to exercise your green thumb.  One of the reasons Temescal is so popular is its proximity to MacArthur BART and many vibrant neighborhoods. The newer 40th Street corridor, with Homeroom, Antidote, Hog's Apothecary, Manifesto Bicycles, Broken Guitars and 1-2-3-4 Go! Music store is just a few blocks away. College Avenue, next to the Rockridge BART station, has long been a favorite, with unique independent shops and restaurants, services and surrounding Craftsman houses. And the Uptown scene, with monthly First Friday celebrations, art galleries, the New Parkway, Paramount and Fox Theatres and a host of diverse bars and restaurants will make Oakland your go-to meeting place from now on.    FEATURES INCLUDE -3 bedrooms -1.5 bathrooms -Updated kitchen and bathroom -Retro touches: many original doors, hardwood floors, tall ceilings and original storage compartments -Formal dining room -Freshly painted inside and out -2-zone heating system -1-car garage -Large lot - over 6,600 sq. ft.
