35th Street, Oakland 2BR / 1BA Loft
Once a late-1890s carriage house, this distinctive brick loft has spent its life sheltering makers a Pixar illustrator, a robotics engineer, interior designers, and craftsmen have all called it home. Now it's ready for its next creative or visionary tenant.
**The Space**
Step inside to an open-concept main living area filled with incredible natural light and skylights throughout, exposed brick, and freshly resealed concrete floors. Upstairs, the two bedrooms occupy a nostalgic hay-loft conversion with original character and tongue-and-groove wood flooring.
The kitchen provides a clean, modern counterpoint to the old-Oakland texture, with sleek finishes, built-in cabinetry, and plenty of room to cook. The bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub, and central heating keeps the space comfortable year-round.
Need room to build, paint, tinker, work out, or simply spread out? This property has generous space for projects and creative pursuits, including an indoor basketball hoop that makes a great focal point for a home gym or workout setup.
**The Setting**
One of the property's biggest advantages is its gated setting, offering a rare sense of privacy and separation while still being close to everything Oakland has to offer. The property also includes outdoor space for relaxing, gardening, entertaining, or enjoying a little fresh air.
This is not a cookie-cutter apartment. It's a unique piece of Oakland history with character, volume, natural light, and room to live creatively.
