More Insights
Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: This mid-century residence, built in 1962, presents as move-in ready due to significant and thoughtful updates. The kitchen has been extensively renovated with new white cabinets, modern black hardware, new white solid-surface countertops, a new black undermount sink, white subway tile backsplash, and modern black appliances (cooktop, built-in oven, refrigerator, dishwasher). The flooring in the kitchen is also new, light-colored tile. One of the bathrooms (the second one) has also been recently updated with a modern wood-look vanity, white countertop, contemporary fixtures, and white subway tile in the shower/tub combo. The living areas feature well-maintained original parquet wood flooring, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures. While the primary bathroom retains its original mid-century tiled vanity and shower, it appears functional and clean, though aesthetically dated. The property has not undergone a full recent renovation, but the key updated areas and overall well-maintained condition align with the 'Good' criteria, requiring no immediate renovation.

About this home
This spacious mid-century residence commands one of the most coveted positions on Lake Merritt, pairing architectural integrity with an unparalleled setting. True to its era, the home offers generous scale and clean lines. The expansive living room opens seamlessly to the dining area and balcony, where broad planes of glass frame tranquil lake views and flood the space with natural light. The updated kitchen respects the home’s modernist roots, blending sleek functionality with classic simplicity, and features new countertops and a new sink.* Both bedrooms are oversized, each with walk-in closets, while a pantry, multiple hall closets, and thoughtful upgrades throughout reflect a design that values livability as much as beauty. A rare offering at the very top of the lake.
