929 Grace Ave unit D

Located in Oakland's Lowell Street industrial corridor, this newly-renovated, spacious and bright live-work studio is perfect for artists, makers or anyone looking for a unique space that's centrally-located between Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley. This unit is on the second floor of a two-story walk-up. Designed with north-facing sawtooth skylights--which provide the perfect natural light--, tall window and sliding glass door (with screen door) facing the deck, plus double ceiling fans and a wall A/C+Heat unit, this studio feels light and airy, making it ideal for creative pursuits and comfortable living. Add in the large, sunny deck (with a lush, garden view), tall ceilings and plenty of built-in storage, and you'll find this studio is optimized for making the most of the space. Not only that, but the ceiling lights are configurable for varying lighting needs. When you walk in the front door, you're facing the kitchen. While it does feature smaller appliances, one (or two!) could easily prepare and cook ample meals. It also offers the benefits of an induction cooktop, which is safer, more energy-efficient, and allows for more precise temperature control than electric or gas ranges. The full bathroom also feels spacious with its walk-in tiled shower, partitioned toilet and sink area, large mirrors and great built-in cabinetry. Just outside of the bathroom is a whole wall of custom, built-in storage with double closets, all of which creates a nice, small hallway leading to the bathroom, which provides more privacy for that area of the studio. Renovated from a former warehouse, the space was created with an intentional industrial feel, using high ceilings, exposed beams, finished OSB (Oriented Strand Board) flooring and double-paned casement windows. For safety, the apartment was built with a fire door, keyless entry, sprinkler system, plus security cameras in common areas of the building. It also comes with energy-efficient sheer solar shades and automatic lights. Sonic Internet-ready, there are Cat6 connections in every corner. Shared washer and dryer in the building with convenient payment by app. Street parking. Owner pays for water and garbage/recycle/compost. Keypad lock for entrance to building. Mailboxes inside. NO PETS. NO SMOKING. To schedule a showing, please reply to this listing. We look forward to meeting you! (We normally reply within 24-48 hrs.)
