Charming Studio in an Art-Filled Historic Building | Original Hardwood Floors | High Ceilings | In-Unit Laundry Hookups
$1,850/ Month
514 28th Street, #3, Oakland
A little history, a little art, and plenty of charm! This freshly painted studio offers approximately ~500 square feet in a distinctive eight-unit building dating to the early 1900s.
The building's former owner was an artist who used its walls and hallways as his creative canvas. His artwork remains, giving the common areas a lovely, enchanting personality you won't find in a typical apartment building. It's a special setting that's best appreciated in person.
Inside, the apartment is equally darling. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and tall windows bring warmth, character, and natural light to the space. The layout includes a living and sleeping area, a separate dining area, a kitchen, and a full bathroom making this studio feel like a thoughtfully arranged home.
The kitchen features granite countertops, a gas stove, stainless-steel microwave and a refrigerator, with space to prepare meals and enjoy them in the adjoining dining area. In-unit washer and dryer hookups offer the option to install your own compatible appliances OR just use as storage space.
A Convenient Central Oakland Location
Located near Telegraph Avenue and Broadway, the property puts you close to neighborhood cafes, restaurants, shopping, and the energy of Uptown Oakland. The Hive and the surrounding dining and arts scene are nearby, while Downtown Oakland offers additional options for entertainment and everyday errands.
For commuting, 19th Street Oakland BART is nearby, and the location offers convenient access to I-580 and I-980. Lake Merritt and Lakeside Park are also within easy reach for a walk, a picnic, or some time outdoors. Alta Bates Summit Medical Center is nearby as well.
