The heartbeat of Oakland is right here in this sparkling, renovated condominium in thriving Temescal. It's hard to beat this location, which has evolved in recent years from a sleepy "where's that?" to an epicenter of the bubbling Oakland scene. 

The close proximity of Temescal, Rockridge and Piedmont Avenue neighborhoods make it possible to live fully without a car. The coveted end unit has its own parking, laundry & attic, and the small HOA is a self-run by caring, cooperative owners. This is truly jewel in a jewel box.
