A great opportunity to lease a beautifully maintained live/work loft condo in the heart of Oakland — purpose-built for small creative businesses, studios, and independent practices that value space, flexibility, and daylight.
Soaring ceilings, solid hardwood floors, and an open floor plan create an environment that works equally well as a design studio, architecture office, creative agency, or startup headquarters. The lower-level is ideal for a dedicated maker space or storage — while the upper levels provide refined, large spaces with plentiful windows and skylights. The top level features a wet bar, balcony access and a large modular shelving system for storage, books, etc.
The gated parking area accommodates two vehicles. All appliances and systems are well-maintained and recently updated.
