A four-minute walk from Lake Merritt, this apartment in a Queen Anne Victorian has a modern feel with historic touches; high ceilings and good natural light give a spacious feel. This is a carpeted second story apartment with shower (no bathtub), and includes an off-street parking space. The living room has an architecturally interesting, angled cathedral ceiling with a large skylight. The bedroom has windows on two sides and a walk-in closet with organizer. The eat-in kitchen has a full size refrigerator and gas stove.
People seeking outdoor activities will value being near beautiful Lake Merritt with its "ring of lights" at night, lakeside picnicking/jogging/walking, and public tennis courts. The apartment also has quick access to the 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 forthcoming Grocery Outlet, and several laundromats. 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. One year lease required, water and garbage included, cats are okay (sorry, no dogs).
