676 42nd St, Oakland, CA 94609

Have it both ways! Enjoy the charm of a 117-year old building with wood burning fireplace, high ceilings and honey-coloured hardwood floors, and profit from double glazed windows, thermal insulated walls, a seismic retrofit to 2017 standards and LED lights throughout. Have a quiet, private, fenced-in organic yard, yet in the morning walk only 8 min to BART and the Google/Apple/FB bus. Two bedrooms and one bath, a living room and a formal dining room that has been integrated with the kitchen for modern family living. There is also a small den with natural light that previous tenants used as an office. There is a lockable shed for your bikes and ample street parking with residence sticker. In-unit W/D, dishwasher, and range with convection oven. Newly refinished clawfoot bathtub that you will be the first to use. Ours is a friendly street with equal parts old timers, techies and hipsters. We have a street party every year complete with BBQ and bouncy house. The unit is best suited for a couple or a small family. We are looking for good tenants as much as we are looking for good neighbours. Trash and recycling inclusive. Tenant pays PG&E and EBMUD. Renters insurance required. Unlike the modern buildings or the whole-house rentals, this apartment is rent controlled.
