3++ Bedrooms / 2.5 Bathrooms 4,400 Square Feet 2 Gated Parking Spaces The American Bag Building is a historic loft conversion in Jack London Square. Originally built in 1912, it served as the headquarters of the The American Bag and Union Hide Company until 1988. In 1995, a gut renovation was done by the current owners creating three units each consisting of its own floor while retaining the original brick and timber details. The top floor is a truly unique 4,400 square foot penthouse. In 1999, the building was designated as an Oakland landmark and is also on the National Register of Historic Places. The penthouse shares a secure lobby and freight elevator with two commercial units. The American Bag Building is centrally located in the hub of Jack London Square just a few blocks from Jack London Cinemas, Yoshi's, Blue Bottle Coffee, Rosenblum Cellars, Chop Bar, California Kayak, Plank, Forge Pizzeria and numerous new restaurants and entertainment venues. It is only minutes to the Lake Merritt BART station and a few blocks to the Oakland Ferry Terminal, each providing quick access to San Francisco. The penthouse was designed by the current owner and has custom finishes and compelling architectural features throughout. The interior spans the entire top floor of the building with freight elevator access directly into the unit. The floor plan consists of wide open living spaces, high ceilings with wood beams, skylights, original solid oak hardwood floors and custom lighting throughout.
