Great opportunity in Lakeview Terrace, a classic mid-century modern building! Lovely 2 bedroom condo on Lake Merritt featuring a beautiful view of water and the historic Camron-Stanford Mansion! This delightful end unit has an updated kitchen complete with a quartz countertop, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet space. There is a large open-concept living room/dining room with bamboo floors. This unit is one of the few east-facing, with an all-glass front, directly facing Lake Merritt. There is updated lighting, ample closet space, and deeded 1-car parking. The building has a pool, an elevator, and a shared app-controlled laundry room. Conveniently located near dining, shopping, farmer's markets, downtown, the Oakland main library, and is across the street from the Lake Chalet restaurant. The condo is also close to the Lake Merritt BART station and has easy freeway access. This building has recently undergone a huge renovation to bring decks and balconies up to the new California requirements (SB 326), and this unit has a new balcony and railings. Must see!

Pros & Cons

Prime Waterfront Location & Views: The unit boasts an enviable east-facing position directly on Lake Merritt, offering beautiful water views and proximity to urban amenities, dining, and recreation.
Updated Kitchen & Interior Finishes: Features a modern updated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet space, complemented by bamboo floors and updated lighting.
Excellent Commuter Accessibility: Strategically located near the Lake Merritt BART station and providing easy freeway access, making it ideal for commuters.
Significant Building Renovations & Amenities: The building has undergone major renovations to meet new California requirements (SB 326), including a new balcony for this unit, and offers desirable amenities like a pool and elevator.
Deeded Parking: Includes valuable deeded 1-car parking, a significant advantage in a dense urban area where parking can be scarce.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 999, other record living area = 783. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $691 monthly association fee is substantial and impacts overall affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Shared Laundry Facilities: Laundry is shared and app-controlled, rather than in-unit, which may be a convenience drawback for some residents.
Single Bathroom for Two Bedrooms: A 2-bedroom unit with only one bathroom can be a functional limitation for multiple occupants or when entertaining guests.
