Charming Furnished Studio Apartment - Close to Lake Merritt and Transit
Garden studio apartment available in 1920s duplex close to Lake Merritt with its own private entrance. This 350 square foot studio includes lots of vintage charm and comes fully furnished. The main room of the studio has three large windows, warm... lighting, a comfortable queen sized bed, bedside table, loveseat, side table, dedicated working space, a built-in dresser and ample closets along one wall. Up one step is the fully-stocked kitchen with one large window and a full-sized stove, refrigerator, sink, and table and chairs for two. Up another step is the bathroom with one window, sink, vanity, toilet, and shower over tub. The semi-private patio is shared with the owner and includes a table and chairs for outdoor dining.
We live above the apartment and are looking for a quiet person or persons. We might hear each others higher volume talking, music, or radio as background sound through the floor/ceiling that separates our living spaces. For this reason, if you like loud music, this might not be a good fit for you.
The apartment is centrally located in the Ivy Hill neighborhood of Lake Merritt, close to Downtown Oakland, Piedmont, Temescal, Rockridge, Berkeley, and San Francisco. On weekends, Lake Merritt is often host to bar-b-ques, picnics, food vendors, and the three mile walking path around the lake is a popular spot for outdoor exercise as well. Our central location does mean that we get some street noise of cars driving by, but overall we love living close-in to everything.
The apartment is adjacent to a local park as well as bike share Bay Wheels (similar to CitiBike). We are an eight minute walk from a local shopping center with a Luckys grocery store and a Walgreens. We are a 20 minute walk from Grandlake & Lakeshore shopping & dining districts, including Trader Joes, exercise studios, cafes, bakeries, bars, and restaurants. We are just over a mile walking distance from Lake Merritt BART and a 15 minute BART ride takes you to everything that Berkeley and San Francisco have to offer.
High-speed sonic internet, water, trash and recycling are included. Tenant pays PG&E for gas and electricy. No washer/dryer available on site however there is a laundromat across the street as well as a local laundry service that does pickup and drop-off. Street parking is available but is sometimes competitive. Please note that stairs are needed to access the apartment and that we do not allow smoking or pets.
