685 37th St, Oakland, CA 94609

Bathed in natural light, this 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment is on the second (top) floor of a friendly building close to everything you'd need. Walk or roll 3 blocks to catch the MacArthur BART, or just over half-a-mile to Temescal dining, brewpubs and cafes. If it's Piedmont Ave you want, that's under a mile away, and the same for Uptown, with Hopscotch and Drake's Dealership. Don't want to go out to eat? Cook at home in your updated eat-in kitchen, with gas stove, stainless-steel refrigerator and dishwasher. (There's also a front-loading washer and dryer just for you.) Everything is refreshed with designer paint and lighting, while the entry and the front bedroom both have window seats. You'll find plenty of storage, with charming built-ins in the living room. Skylights keep it all bright, with high ceilings, box-beams in the living room, and hardwood floors throughout. The property is fenced, with a shared back yard for BBQing or bike storage. Street parking is easy, or go car-free by using the bikeshare at the end of the block, and since BART is so close. Available now. Tenant is responsible for water and PG&E; owner pays for trash and recycling. No smoking. First month's rent plus security deposit. Pets require an additional security deposit.
