Romantic & charming cottage in Temescal—4142 Manila is a lovingly reimagined studio nestled in The Tems, one of Temescal’s most enchanting garden communities. Completely rebuilt and thoughtfully elevated, this crisp Edwardian gem offers the perfect fusion of historical character and modern convenience. A generous entryway opens into a bright, inviting living space anchored by original oak floors, refurbished windows, and a wood-burning fireplace with a freshly updated hearth—ideal for cozy evenings or quiet mornings. The fully renovated kitchen features all new appliances, cabinetry, and fixtures, blending sleek functionality with timeless appeal. The bathroom is a showstopper, with new tile, plumbing, and fixtures, topped off by a new skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Behind the walls, the infrastructure has been modernized with all-new electrical and plumbing, giving peace of mind to match the style. Outside your door, enjoy the lush communal gardens and shared spaces perfect for grilling, lounging, and connecting with neighbors under the trees. This is the rare kind of place that feels like a quiet retreat—but puts you right in the middle of Oakland’s iconic Temescal neighborhood. A short stroll brings you to Temescal Alley, BART, cafes, and boutiques.
