Perched on the 3rd floor, only penthouse above, where city noise fades, this corner unit offers exactly the kind of life people spend years working toward: space that feels generous without being excessive, a neighborhood that rewards walking, and the rare peace of mind that comes from a home that's simply done right. Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, 1,038 square feet of considered living space — and a covered private balcony that adds another 120 square feet of breathing room most Oakland condos simply can't offer. Step inside and new flooring runs underfoot. Oversized windows pull the outdoors in. The kitchen isn't just updated — it's been rebuilt with intention: white quartz surfaces, premium new appliances, fresh lighting. That balcony deserves its own mention. Sheltered, private, and larger than you'd expect, it becomes the center of daily life in a way only outdoor space can — coffee at sunrise, a book in the afternoon, dinner under the open sky with people you actually want to see. And because the building has already completed and paid for all SB 326 balcony compliance work, there are no hidden assessments waiting. This is truly move-in ready, with nothing left to absorb. The practicalities are genuinely covered: deeded covered parking behind a security gate, in-building laundry, and bike racks. For those who've owned a home, you'll recognize what's missing — no yard to maintain, no roof to repair, no exterior to worry about. That's not a compromise. That's the point. As for the neighborhood — Adams Point is the kind of place that makes the rest of Oakland's real estate conversation irrelevant. Lake Merritt is a short walk away: three miles of continuous waterfront parks, the Saturday farmers market, and water that genuinely changes how you feel about where you live. Grand Avenue's restaurants and the Grand Lake Theatre are around the corner. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are close enough to be genuinely convenient. BART, an SF express bus, and three major freeways make the rest of the Bay entirely accessible — whether you still commute or simply want the option. High floor. Corner unit. No deferred maintenance. No assessments pending. Move-in ready. Come see it.
