This sunny 3rd floor studio is flooded with sunlight, with southwest-facing windows and a large balcony. The studio feels like a 1 bedroom because you can retract the Murphy bed into the wall when not in use. Enjoy the sunlight from a large handmade hammock during the day, or pull the 120-inch projection screen down for a home theater experience at night. There's a small office area which is separated with a room divider (which can be easily folded away if undesired). An unusually large amount of closet space for a studio (and I'll be leaving one closet empty for you). This apartment is in Adam's Point, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Oakland. It's centrally located, just a few blocks from Lake Merritt, Whole Foods and many highly-rated restaurants. It's a 10-minute walk to downtown Oakland, a BART (metro rail) station, several gyms, Trader Joe's, and tons of small businesses. Rent includes all utilities and high speed wifi. Parking space is available for additional $150 per month. ABOUT ME: I'm an artist and an assistant professor at a local university. I pour a lot of love into my home space and like to treat it like a sanctuary. Looking for someone who can enjoy the space and also treat it well!
