Light-Filled Condo on Lake Merritt. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Oakland residence has the best next-door neighbor in the East Bay: Lake Merritt. The 1,120 sq. ft. floor plan boasts a sunny living room (with a fireplace), an updated kitchen, a cozy dining room, and a balcony with views of the Lake and Downtown Oakland. You?ll find superior details including engineered hardwood floors, huge windows, and extra-large closets. You?ll also have a reserved parking spot in the building?s garage and access to its laundry facility. Most uniquely, the building also has a sauna for you to use at your convenience. Through the stately wood front doors, we enter into a foyer that features a large sliding mirrored coat closet. From here, we can turn right into the open living spaces and kitchen, or left to the bedrooms. The far wall of the living room is glass and includes a set of sliding doors leading to the balcony. This southern exposure, combined with being on the fourth floor, allows natural light to flood the entire living space from morning to evening, year-round. And for those brisk Bay Area nights, there is a gas fireplace surrounded by a floor-to-ceiling stone-laid hearth. For effortless entertaining and everyday function, the kitchen looks out on the living room and is directly adjacent to the dining room. The kitchen boasts granite countertops; matching backsplashes; sleek cabinets and drawers; a dishwasher; and a peninsula breakfast bar. The spacious master bedroom receives ample light from its extra-wide window. It also boasts a large closet and the same engineered hardwood floors as the living room. Its en-suite bathroom has a stall shower as well as a separate vanity room with a granite countertop, ample drawers, and an additional large closet for clothes, linens, or both. The second bedroom is quite versatile. With sliding glass doors leading to the condo?s balcony, a large closet, and plenty of wall space, it could easily serve as a media room, home office, library, study, a fitness room, or some combination of these. The home?s second bathroom has a shower over a tub as well as a granite vanity. The long balcony, which is accessible from the living room and the second bedroom, faces south and offers views of Lake Merritt and Downtown Oakland. There is enough space for multiple uses; you can set up a coffee table to eat al fresco on one side, and on the other, a set of lounge chairs to relax on a sunny day. There?s so much to love about this residence, but its best amenity is sure to be its location. Just across the street from Lake Merritt, you?ll have award-winning restaurants, museums, galleries, theaters, highly-rated schools, parks, organic grocery stores, cafes, bars, and farmers' markets all in the neighborhood. And for jetting around the Bay, you?ll have convenient access to the Lake Merritt BART station, many buses, and Highways 580 and 880. ? 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms ? 1,120 sq. ft. of living space (per public records) ?
