509 Athol Ave

Charming, vintage 1br/1ba in 1920's 4-plex in super-convenient Lake Merritt location! The main entrance to the building is up a flight of stairs from the street - then from the entrance foyer, the unit's front door is up another flight of stairs and on your left, so this top-floor unit has lots of sun through its many windows, but also privacy. The front door opens into a small open hallway that connects the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The bathroom has lots of vintage touches: deep tub with rounded edge and shower, penny and subway tile, small pedestal sink, and a functional vintage medicine cabinet, counter and drawers. The living room has original matchstick hardwood floors and lovely front and side windows for tons of light and views. In the corner of the spacious living room, there's a wide closet cut out where a desk can fit, or you can hang a decorative curtain and store anything you like. Adjoining the living room is a huge kitchen with vintage touches and enough space for a table and chairs. The kitchen has a gas stove, tons of storage, and a good amount of counter space, perfect for whipping up your favorite meals. The small rear bedroom is accessible through the kitchen, with neutral grey carpet, sunny windows overlooking the side and backyard, and a deep closet with built-in shelving. A door from the kitchen opens onto your back deck, with space for a small grill, table and chairs. Down a flight of stairs you can enjoy a very green shared back garden, already equipped with outdoor seating and garden lights. Incredible, convenient Lake Merritt location, just a few blocks from the lake, and a short walk or bike ride to all the shops and restaurants on both Lakeshore and Grand Ave. Saturday mornings you can walk to the farmer's market by the Grand Lake Theater or stop and shop at Trader Joes. Plus easy access to Lake Merritt BART and bus lines. 1 dog/cat will be considered with an additional $25/month in rent (no extra deposit required). Shared coin-operated laundry on the premises. Street parking only, but very easy to find in this residential area. Available Now. Showing by appointment only - Virtual Tour Now!
