Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1933, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready with newer dual-pane windows and refinished wood floors. However, the bathroom features dated tile work and fixtures likely exceeding 20-30 years in age, and the heating system relies on older radiators. While charming, the kitchen and bath lack recent modern renovations.
Situated in a historic Art Deco building steps from Lake Merritt, this property offers exceptional walkability to cultural landmarks like the Oakland Museum and easy transit access to San Francisco.
The inclusion of a private garage and access to a no-fee community laundry facility provides significant convenience and value rarely found in older urban condominium units.
The south-facing orientation ensures abundant sunlight, highlighting the original wood floors and updated dual-pane windows, while offering a peek-a-boo view of the lake.
At 687 square feet with a combined living and dining area, the layout may feel restrictive for buyers seeking a dedicated home office or formal entertaining space.
While the building offers a free communal facility, the absence of in-unit washer and dryer hookups may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing modern convenience.
Adorable, sun-filled, one bedroom Condo in a beautiful Art Deco building right on Lake Merritt! The Condo is very bright and quiet as it is located on the south facing side of the building on the second floor, but the lake is just steps away for owners to enjoy whenever they want! You even have a peek-a-boo view of the lake from the bedroom! This Condo features a large kitchen, a living/dining room combo and a spacious bedroom, all with lovely natural wood floors, and there are newer dual pane windows as well! It also comes with it's own garage, which is located in the back of the building, and there is a no fee community laundry facility in the basement! With easy access to public transit to SF and elsewhere, along with being highly walkable to spots such as the Oakland Museum and the Kaiser Center for the Arts, this might just be your perfect Pied A Terre!
