1605 5th Ave, Oakland, CA 94606

Near Lake Merritt, this apartment is the entire third floor of an 1880's Queen Anne Victorian and has a special, private feel. An architecturally interesting living space with high, angled cathedral ceilings and lots of natural light from windows and five skylights. Full size eat-in kitchen with gas stove. The main living space is carpeted (vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bath) and is heated by a forced air furnace. Custom tiled shower (sorry, no bathtub). You are a short walk away from one of Oakland's gems, beautiful Lake Merritt with its "ring of lights" at night and lakeside picnicking/jogging/walking path during the day. The apartment also has quick access to the just-opened Brooklyn Basin Redevelopment and parklands overlooking the Oakland Estuary waterfront and providing access to the San Francisco Bay Trail. The neighborhood also features "Portal" (one of the best local pub/restaurants with a large outdoor patio), public tennis courts, a Lucky supermarket, and Walgreens drugstore. You are a bike ride away from the Grand Lake and Lakeshore shopping districts (with the weekend Lakeshore Farmer's Market, the Grand Lake Theater, Trader Joe's, Arizmendi Bakery, Peet's Coffee, etc.) and the popular Uptown District of Downtown Oakland (bars, restaurants, nightlife). The apartment has good transportation connection for commuting and includes one off-street parking space, water and garbage services. Cats are okay - sorry, no dogs. Call Kim for details/to view. Tenant responsible for gas & electricity; Owner pays for water & garbage
