More Insights
Built in 1959 (66 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 1959, presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen has been extensively updated with modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, aligning with current quality standards. The living areas feature contemporary dark bamboo flooring and updated lighting. The bathroom is clean and functional with a traditional-style vanity and modern fixtures. While the building is older, recent structural renovations (balconies/railings) and the unit's interior updates suggest a renovation within the last 5-15 years, fitting the 'Good' criteria. Minor details like the exposed wiring for a bedroom light fixture prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but overall, the property is well-maintained and updated.

About this home
Great opportunity in Lakeview Terrace, a classic mid-century modern building! Lovely 2 bedroom condo on Lake Merritt featuring a beautiful view of water and the historic Camron-Stanford Mansion! This delightful end unit has an updated kitchen complete with a quartz countertop, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet space. There is a large open-concept living room/dining room with bamboo floors. This unit is one of the few east-facing, with an all-glass front, directly facing Lake Merritt. There is updated lighting, ample closet space, and deeded 1-car parking. The building has a pool, an elevator, and a shared app-controlled laundry room. Conveniently located near dining, shopping, farmer's markets, downtown, the Oakland main library, and is across the street from the Lake Chalet restaurant. The condo is also close to the Lake Merritt BART station and has easy freeway access. This building has recently undergone a huge renovation to bring decks and balconies up to the new California requirements (SB 326), and this unit has a new balcony and railings. Must see!
