Property Description

This brand-new townhouse condominium lives like a single-family home. Set on one of Temescal's most sought-after streets, this extraordinary residence offers three levels of living, distinct spaces for gathering and retreat, and a rare sense of privacy. Originally built as a church in 1911, it has been comprehensively reconstructed from the studs, blending historic character with contemporary comfort and design. Original Douglas fir framing, roof rafters, and structural lumber were carefully reclaimed, resawn, and reincorporated as custom wainscoting, baseboards, trim, and Craftsman-inspired details. The original tongue-and-groove Douglas fir floors were also preserved and refinished, retaining their century-old patina and unmistakable character. The main level is made for living and entertaining, with kitchen, dining, and living areas flowing beneath dramatic 14- to 16-foot ceilings. A vintage Art Deco chandelier makes a striking statement, while a fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a generous island, stainless-steel appliances, a pot filler, and a sculptural Zellige-tile range alcove. A powder room, and direct access to the private one-car garage add everyday convenience. The second floor offers two bedrooms and a hall bath, including one ensuite bedroom and a laundry closet. The primary bedroom occupies its own level, creating a peaceful retreat. At the top, a sunlit family room with abundant skylights offers flexible space for movie nights, entertaining, or relaxing. A separate bedroom opens to a private balcony, complemented by a full bath and additional storage. Behind the historic finishes is entirely modern infrastructure, including new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, gutters, insulation, dual-pane low-E windows, fire sprinklers, seismic reinforcement with new shear walls, and added soundproofing. Step outside to Temescal's celebrated restaurants, cafés, independent shops, and neighborhood favorites. Nearby MacArthur BART and convenient freeway access connect you to San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. A rare offering that unites historic craftsmanship, modern construction, and flexible multi-level living in one of Oakland's most vibrant neighborhoods.
