Description
Welcome to 364 49th Street, a meticulously maintained 1915 Craftsman blending preserved period character, thoughtful updates, and a custom-built detached ADU in the heart of Temescal. The two-bedroom main home showcases beautiful Craftsman details throughout, including substantial wood millwork, hardwood floors, built-ins, and a fully functional fireplace. The formal dining room is a standout, with paneled wainscoting and an impressive built-in hutch. The bright kitchen features granite countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. Both bedrooms offer generous proportions and recently added built-in wardrobes. A charming bath with clawfoot tub, subway tile, and hex tile flooring complements the home's period style. At the rear, a flexible bonus space opens directly to the garden and works beautifully as a home office, den, or creative space, with an adjacent powder room and laundry area featuring a brand-new laundry tower. Completed in 2024, the custom-built detached studio ADU offers a modern contrast with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a kitchenette, walk-in closet, air conditioning, and radiant floor heating. A three-panel accordion glass door opens the space to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Ideal for guests, rental income, or a private workspace, the ADU feels like a retreat of its own. Outside, the remarkably private backyard feels like a lush garden oasis, surrounded by mature fruit trees and greenery with a stone patio ideal for dining, entertaining, or simply escaping the city. One-car off-street parking can also be configured in front of the ADU. Set in the heart of Temescal, the home is a short walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sunday farmers market, and the shops and restaurants along Telegraph Avenue. College Avenue and Piedmont Avenue are also nearby, offering easy access to restaurants, cafes, and boutique shopping, with both Rockridge and MacArthur BART stations within convenient reach.
