This sunny, spacious, and bright newly-renovated apartment is the entire second story of an historic home in the heart of Oakland's vibrant Rockridge neighborhood, just a half block off College Ave. It offers two very large bedrooms (16'x14' and 14'x13'), original built-ins, loads of natural light, and is offered unfurnished. It's earned a "Walker's Paradise" score of 96, with incredible access to all of Rockridge's extensive amenities and transportation, including Trader Joe's a half block away and both Rockridge BART and Market Hall 2 blocks. The location is phenomenal for convenience and enjoyment, with restaurants, bookstores, and libraries; artisan bakeries, ice cream, and coffee; grocery stores and a neighborhood hardware store; and parks and transportation all within an easy walk, and many just around the corner.
