Chic Condo in Heart of Oakland

With award-winning restaurants, bakeries, breweries, theaters, cafes, museums, schools, farmers' markets, BART, and Lake Merrit all just blocks away, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo in the heart of Oakland offers East Bay living at its finest. Along with its stellar location, the residence boasts modern amenities, open spaces, Oakland views, and plenty of sunshine that makes the hardwood floors and crisply painted walls pop. Entering through the building's elegant lobby, or through its garage where you'll have a designated spot, you take the elevator up to the seventh floor, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The 1,139 square feet. floor plan includes a living room; dining room; master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom; versatile second bedroom; modern kitchen with a breakfast counter; and in-unit washer and dryer. In the contemporary horseshoe-style kitchen, you're sure to love the stainless steel appliances (including an updated dishwasher), granite countertops, matching backsplash, peninsula breakfast counter, wood cabinetry, and the recessed and under-cabinet lighting. It's the perfect kitchen for entertaining, since it looks out onto the open living room and dining room. In these airy spaces, you'll find the same attractive hardwood floors and recessed canned lighting as the kitchen, as well as an elegant fixture that centers the dining room, though during the day, you likely won't be needing any of this; a triptych of windows let in ample natural light and provide an incredible view over downtown. There is also plenty of wall space for artwork and a home theater setup. The condominium's master suite is down the hall from the living spaces for seclusion.

With three vertical pairs of windows, nearly floor-to-ceiling, you'll wake up every morning with an enviable city view. The bedroom also boasts wall-to-wall carpeting and a spacious closet with California Closets organizers. It's easy to get up and out in the morning: the en-suite bathroom features a door separating the double vanity sink from the rest of the bathroom, which includes a tiled stall shower and linen closet. The second bedroom is quite versatile. With tall windows, plenty of wall space, and a large sliding-door closet, it could easily serve as an office, media room, reading room, or even a home fitness room. In the hallway between the sleeping and living spaces are the second bathroom and the laundry closet. The bathroom features a shower over a tub, and the laundry room has an updated stacked washer and dryer. Parking for one car completes the home.Inside and out, 438 West Grand Avenue Unit 702 is sure to impress, whether you're looking to take advantage of Oakland's countless cultural and culinary options, spend a lazy day watching movies in the home, read an afternoon away in the building's courtyard, or commute to work by BART, bus, or car.
