5522 Taft Ave

Nestled in the coveted Rockridge “Golden Triangle,” this exquisitely reimagined 1912 California bungalow blends timeless charm with understated modern luxury. Transformed by a local architect and builder, this single-level stunner greets you with vaulted ceilings, an airy open-concept floor plan, and sophisticated designer finishes at every turn. Custom millwork, hand-selected wallpaper, and artisanal tile create a home that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable. The heart of the home is a breathtaking chef’s kitchen featuring striking two-tone custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a breakfast bar for morning coffee. Both bathrooms have been taken to new heights: the hall bath is a true showpiece with its sculptural marble soaking tub offering spa-like serenity, while the primary bath offers equally refined finishes and tilework. The cozy lounge area at the rear leads out to a flat, manicured garden oasis. A large sun-drenched deck and built-in seating area make outdoor entertaining a delight. Systems updates include a newer foundation/drainage (Duval), 200-amp electrical service, abundant new windows, newer roof with owned solar, and central air conditioning. Blocks to Rockridge BART, restaurants, and shops.
