Charming ground floor garden apartment in West Oakland
Modern first floor condo with large sunny and fully fenced private backyard. This completely updated home is contained within an envelope of an immaculately converted 2-unit Victorian building. The yard has pavers leading to a patio/sitting area, and lots of sun and planting areas for a future resident with a green thumb or pets. A free standing shed has windows and room for ample storage or even small workshop. The apartment was owner-occupied until 2026, hence is extremely well cared-for. A bonus room could be used as an office/den or 3rd bedroom without a closet.
