Description

Located on the first floor of a 10 unit gated apartment building close to Lake Merritt, Oakland. One secure garage parking space is available, with a remote controlled gate and security cameras. This unit is located on the northwest corner of the first floor. It receives plentiful afternoon/evening light, plus there are two balconies with sliding glass doors. The kitchen is medium sized with ample cupboard space, electric stove/oven, half size dishwasher and overhead lighting. There is a small dining table that divides the kitchen and living room. The kitchen has vinyl flooring, and the entryway has laminate wood flooring. The rest of the apartment is carpeted with various rugs. There is a fourth room that serves as an office/TV room. Could also serve as a second bedroom if needed. The space is mostly furnished, including a 7 foot daybed in the living room and lots of shelving. There are four healthy plants and an air purifier to circulate the air and promote good oxygen levels. The bedroom has a small desk and queen size bed frame. Mattress is not included, so you will need to bring your own. Warm lighting from lamps illuminates the living room, office and bedroom. There is a hifi sound system complete with vinyl turntable, cassette deck and CD player with a sizable collection to draw from. Both electricity/gas and Wi-Fi will be paid for by the sub-letter. The Wi-Fi is high speed and reliable. Water is included in rent. It would be a great space for someone working from home or commuting as it is close to two different highway entrances and centrally located in Oakland. Ideally looking for someone who is clean, quiet and respectful of their neighbors. I would like to rent the apartment to someone who will take good care of my furnishings. The apartment is located near the intersection of Park Blvd. and just a few blocks south of Lake Merritt in Oakland, a central gathering point for the people who live here. Lots of green space around the lake to enjoy, and it is very walkable. It is in a vibrant and diverse community with lots of good cuisine nearby. There are many options for groceries within 1-2 miles and a Saturday farmers market within walking distance along the lake. It is just a 15 minute walk from downtown Oakland, and a 15 minute drive from the beautiful nature of Joaquin Miller Park or Redwood Regional Park. I am a full time artist who teaches various disciplines privately, so the space is geared towards creative pursuits. However, it would be a great space for someone working from home or commuting to university, as it is close to two different highway entrances and centrally located in Oakland. It is not far from BART train stations and bus stops.
