Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition and well-maintained for its age. It features original hardwood flooring in excellent shape, newer dual-pane windows, and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances. While the kitchen cabinetry and sink are older styles, they are clean and functional, and the overall unit shows minimal wear and tear with no immediate renovations required.
Elementary School: Crocker Highlands Elementary School (9/10).
Situated directly on Lake Merritt in a beautiful Art Deco building, offering immediate access to Oakland's premier recreational destination.
The inclusion of a private garage is a significant value-add and a rare convenience for a condominium in this high-density urban area.
The lack of in-unit laundry requires residents to use a communal facility in the basement, which may be a drawback for some buyers.
At 687 square feet, the one-bedroom layout offers limited space for those requiring a home office or significant storage.
While some local elementary schools are highly rated, several nearby middle and high schools have lower performance scores, which may impact long-term resale value.
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!
