Each unit has two-bedrooms and one-bathroom that are awash in gorgeous south-facing light. The lower unit’s marble fireplace mantle will take you back to a bygone era with its original wood surrounds. With ornate pocket doors and brass hardware, the unit exudes a vibe that we rarely see anymore. Anchored by a large palm tree, the fenced-in yard offers plenty of room to lounge, garden or gather. The upper unit has an open-floor plan with access to a deck off the kitchen and living area. Both units enjoy updated kitchens and bathrooms, and have access to shared laundry. Proximity to BART, Uptown, the West Grand ramp access to 580, Community Grocery/Stay Gold Deli, and all Oakland has to offer. Truly a gem, for an owner, or an investor. All information and images should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy.
