Bright 2BR in Charming Fourplex Near Lake Merritt & Grand Ave
Welcome to 465 Elwood Avenue, a classic 1920s fourplex on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from Lake Merritt and Grand Avenue. This sunny 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment blends vintage charm with modern comfort in one of Oakland's most desirable, walkable neighborhoods.
Inside, you'll find well-proportioned rooms, beautiful wood floors, and great natural light throughout the day. The living area flows into an eat-in kitchen, and both bedrooms offer good closet space and flexibility for a home office, guest room, or creative studio. Being in a small, well-kept building means more privacy and a quieter feel than a large complex.
