A Bushrod Bungalow that glows with Cottage Charm

Bordering the Temescal edge of North Oakland’s charming and commuter-friendly Bushrod neighborhood, this two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow is a dream come true for those who adore the warmth of cottage-core aesthetics but crave Modern functionality. From the moment you arrive, the home’s inviting color palette of soft sage and buttery yellow sets the tone for a cozy yet vibrant living space. The home’s vintage character shines through with original hardwood floors, classic built-ins, and a welcoming front porch. Step into the kitchen, and you’re greeted with modern updates that blend seamlessly with the home’s historic charm. Country-friendly butcher-block countertops are paired with stainless steel appliances. Contemporary tile with gold accents meets timeless subway tile above richly colored cabinets. Modern luxuries like a large walk-in shower in the renovated bathroom continue to embrace the cozy cottage theme with color and pattern.

Outside the cottage aesthetic continues with three Farmhouse-style galvanized steel garden containers and a large wooden deck. A rustic barn light and flagstones mark the entrance to the converted garage, now a creative retreat. Skylights flood the space with natural light and the double French doors open straight to the garden as this bonus area adds incredible versatility.
