241 29th St

Lovely second-floor 1 BR unit (#201) in our 3-story, family-owned 1920s apartment building. Recently renovated, this cozy unit features original hardwood floors, new double-paned screened windows, and an upgraded kitchen with a gas range/oven and disposal. The bathroom retains its original 1920s bathtub and tile floor. (Photos show the apartment furnished by different tenants over the years who loved calling it home.) Built in 1926 in the Mission Revival architectural style, this building offers beautiful vintage character paired with thoughtful modern updates. A major highlight is that the building recently underwent a comprehensive seismic retrofit, completed in 2026, providing an important structural upgrade for earthquake resilience. We also completed energy-efficiency improvements throughout the building to meet Bay Area standards, making it a rare combination of historic charm and modern improvements. The laundry room features washers and dryers with smartphone capability (no more quarters!). Bike parking is available in the basement, and both open-air and garage parking are available for an additional monthly fee. This is a family-owned and managed building with an on-site resident manager. We take pride in maintaining a clean, welcoming property and fostering a sense of community. Tenants also have the option to join a private online Slack group to connect with neighbors. Fantastic location: Lake Merritt is just a short walk down the hill, along with the growing collection of bars and restaurants on Broadway. You'll also be close to numerous grocery stores, including Whole Foods. The Oakland Peace Center is around the corner, with Sound Room Jazz Club and Art Murmur/First Fridays nearby. Buses and BART are within easy walking distance, making commuting to San Francisco and around the Bay Area convenient. A bike share station is also located at the bottom of the hill. A cat is welcome; sorry, no dogs.
