This second floor apartment is in a Queen Anne Victorian very near Lake Merritt. There are high ceilings and natural light throughout with a beautiful Victorian bay window in the living room. The open-plan living room/junior one-bedroom are carpeted, there is a full-size gas oven in an eat-in kitchen, and the bathroom has natural light and a shower (no bathtub). Off-street parking for one vehicle is included. People seeking outdoor activities will value being near beautiful Lake Merritt with its "ring of lights" at night and lakeside picnicking/jogging/walking. The apartment also has quick access to the just-opened Brooklyn Basin Redevelopment and parklands overlooking the Oakland Estuary waterfront and providing access to the San Francisco Bay Trail. Neighborhood businesses include “Portal" (one of the best local pub/restaurants with a large outdoor patio), a Lucky supermarket, and Walgreens drugstore. You are a bike ride away from the Grand Lake and Lakeshore districts (with the weekend Farmer's Market, Grand Lake movie theater, Trader Joe's, Arizmendi Cooperative Bakery, Peet's Coffee, etc.), Jack London Square, and Oakland’s popular Uptown District. Great transportation connections to downtown Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco by bus and BART. Also, within the City of Oakland free WiFi zone! 6-month minimum lease required, water and garbage included, cats are okay (sorry, no dogs). Please call Kim at (510) 206-6439 for appointment/more info.
