The story
A true urban oasis just blocks from Piedmont Avenue and all the vibrancy of Temescal, 4138 Manila balances tranquil neighborhood living with easy access to Oakland’s best eateries, shops and transit. Inside, the full-floor home means no shared walls between units as well as light from every direction. Ample windows fill the home with natural filtered light while framing a beautiful courtyard with brick pathways and mature Japanese maples. The living room is anchored by a fireplace flanked by multi-paned windows and leads to a spacious kitchen complete with a pro-level Monogram range, honed granite counters and classic design. The custom built-in dining nook is perfect for morning pour-overs and intimate dinner parties alike. Warm oak floors lead to the elegant bathroom, laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer, then to the two spacious corner bedrooms, each wrapped in green outlooks and beautiful natural light as well as a second wood burning fireplace. Custom Hunter Douglas shades filter light and provide privacy as desired. The bathroom is finished with a marble-topped double vanity, crisp white subway tile, and a luxurious soaking tub. Step outside to an expansive shared courtyard and a wisteria-canopied patio, picnic tables, adirondack seating, and an outdoor grill, providing an effortless setting for weekend barbecues or simply relaxing outdoors. Dedicated basement storage adds to ease of living.
