241 29th St

Lovely top-floor 1 BR unit (#301) in our 3-story family-owned 1920s apartment building. Recently renovated, this cozy unit has original hardwood floors, new double-paned & screened windows, and an upgraded kitchen with gas range/oven and disposal. The bathroom has the original 1920s bathtub & tile floor. (Images show apartment furnished by different tenants over the years who loved calling it home). This building was built in 1926 and is considered a Mission Revival architectural style. It is full of the lovely vintage character from the 1920s with updated and modern apartments. We recently renovated to bring the building up to Bay Area energy efficiency standards. The laundry room has washers and dryers with smartphone capability (no more quarters!). There is bike parking in the basement. This is a family-owned and managed building, with an on-site resident manager. We do our best to keep the building in good, clean condition and encourage community in the neighborhood. Tenants have an option to use an online "Slack" group to communicate with each other. Fantastic location: Lake Merritt is a short walk down the hill, as well as new bars and restaurants along Broadway, and very close to numerous grocery stores including Whole Foods. The Oakland Peace Center is around the corner from the building, Sound Room jazz club and Art Murmer/First Friday nearby. We are a short walking distance to buses and Bart making it quite easy to travel to San Francisco and other locations. There is also a bike share station just at the bottom of the hill. A cat is allowed; sorry no dogs. Owner pays for water & garbage/recycling/compost. Lease is one year, then month to month. One cat is accepted. Subletting is not permitted. Three person maximum occupancy.
