About 526 52nd Street
Welcome Home
Come see how great the living can be in the vibrant Temescal neighborhood! 526 52nd Street in Oakland is a charming 2-bed, 1.5-bath Craftsman bungalow located just steps from incredible shopping, dining and BART nearby. This gem includes beautifully preserved Craftsman details: rich oak floors, leaded glass built-in cabinets, original fireplace, detailed window trims, and a handsome boxed beam ceiling. The remodeled chef’s kitchen features a large marble-top island, concrete counters, high-end stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink. The natural light is magnificent here, thanks to a skylight, antique diamond stained glass windows, and a generous bay window with seating – a perfect spot to enjoy the morning coffee and newspaper that you fetched from the café around the corner.
French doors in the kitchen open to a back deck with tiered seating for entertaining and a yard fragrant with roses and citrus trees. A detached garage and extensive basement with a rustic half-bath could become your rumpus room, office, workshop, art studio, ample storage space – whatever you need!
An edible garden garnishes the front yard, which overlooks the vibrant Temescal district. We can’t imagine a better home oasis to relax in after a fun day exploring the bustling Temescal Farmers’ market, the hip shops of Temescal Alley, the creative food truck offerings at Off The Grid, and the playground at Frog Park. 526 52nd Street is a truly special place!
