The most imaginative apartments in the East Bay are now the most affordable. The Temescal Muse offers a different approach to apartment living. It's not a building. It's a neighborhood of discrete townhomes wrapped around an Italian street scene. There are no corridors, only gathering places: courtyards, terraces, and private rooftop patios. Discover the efficiency of French balconies, even if you're not French. These are townhomes with a personality...yours. We created a place, not a room number. It feels like a home because it is. Small and friendly is the answer to big and institutional. Each home has its own identity, designed with flexibility built-in. Sliding walls turn a dining area into a media room, private office, guest bedroom, or nursery. Our 2 bedroom 2 story townhouses have lofty 10'-6" ceilings in the great room, with modern chef's kitchens featuring stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage space, pantries, and even guest powder rooms and baths. Upstairs are 2 or more bedrooms, with 1 or more full baths, generous walk-in closets, and a front-loading laundry center in each unit sized for families. Convenient, covered, secure parking is available for cars in the garage. The Temescal Muse is connected to everything, even other people. It's a sun-baked Mediterranean Village within walking distance of the rest of the world. Three blocks to the dozens of restaurants and shops on Piedmont Avenue. Not to mention the Piedmont theater. Two blocks to the Kaiser Center. Four blocks to Bart and you are linked to the whole Bay Area. It's closer to downtown San Francisco than most of San Francisco. Downstairs is "Monster Pho", Temescal's favorite Vietnamese cuisine watering hole. It's Oakland's word for friendly and everyone's "third space" for dining (with or without) kids. It's legendary food, all fresh, all healthy, served by the friendliest staff in the e East Bay. Honest food for honest friends. Honestly. In fact, it's a place so good you can take it with you. Drop in on the way home to "Take out dinner" after a hard day's work. It's like having your own chef and they clean up. Why settle for ordinary?
