About the space
Spacious 1100 sq. ft. penthouse apartment in West Oakland loft building on quiet street. Sweeping view of East Bay hills, sun filled bedroom, huge gourmet kitchen, Zen bathroom, laundry room with washer and dryer, high speed internet, shared deck, 8 miles from San Francisco, one block from AC Transit SF bus, 1.4 miles to Oakland-San Francisco Ferry, within 3 miles of major hospitals, walking distance to BART.
The penthouse is on the top floor of a 19 unit, mostly owner occupied renovated loft building. It's a quiet, sunlit space. The unit has its own private entrance and we live next door. No garage but street parking around the building is always available.
Our neighbors in the building treasure their quiet so we ask that our guests respect that.
We are in the heart of West Oakland's historic Oak Center neighborhood. This is an industrial area known for its rich artistic heritage. We live a block away from American Steel, Oakland's best known artist warehouse. Across the street is the Oakland Music Complex, where musicians from around the Bay Area come to practice and record. There are several coffee houses in the neighborhood, as well as Ghost Town Brewery. We are also a block away from Defremery Park and the West Oakland Public Library.
We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Oakland, where you will have a choice of many great restaurants and night spots, including the Fox Theater. For shopping a Target store and a Trader Joe's are both within 2 miles.
