Tucked into the heart of Temescal, this delightful two-bedroom bungalow is filled with warmth, light, and charm. Located just one block from Telegraph Avenue on a street that does not serve as a through route to the avenue, the home enjoys easy access to the neighborhood's amenities while maintaining a residential feel within an urban setting. A dramatic skylight brightens the heart of the home, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen and bathroom blend modern comfort with timeless appeal. Outside, lovely fenced side and rear patios extend the living space, creating inviting settings for entertaining friends, enjoying a morning coffee, or unwinding at the end of the day. Off-street parking adds convenience. Whole Foods, the Sunday Temescal Farmers' Market, neighborhood cafés, acclaimed restaurants, shopping, BART, and commuter routes are all within easy reach, offering an exceptional Temescal lifestyle.
