$1,775 / 1br - 425ft2 - Perfect location, charm and character (Temescal)

Beautifully restored older building. Ideal for anyone who appreciates the beauty, charm and character of older apartments, with extra-large rooms, numerous large double-pane windows, ample closet space, hardwood floors, and lots of light and space. Water and garbage are included in the rent. There is a cafe downstairs, as well as a corner store with surprisingly edible items, and many restaurants within walking distance. BART is less than one block away, with free buses to Kaiser and several shopping areas, including Best Buy, Target, IKEA, and Trader Joe's. This apartment is smaller than most one-bedrooms, but charming and comfortable. It has colorful tile in kitchen and bathroom, new cabinets, with a combination of older style and modern convenience. The address is 509-40th Street, apt 21, at the corner of Telegraph Avenue in north Oakland. It is on the second floor of the corner of the building, with light and views to the north. Double-paned windows keep out the traffic noise. Next door to MacArthur BART (metro station), and on several bus lines, the location allows you to use public transportation to San Francisco, Berkeley, or downtown Oakland. Walk or bike to Piedmont Avenue, Temescal or Rockridge shopping areas with cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theater, banks, and more, or catch BART or the bus to almost anywhere in the Bay Area from a block away. You can even put your bike on the bus or the train. This is a non-smoking building, and there are no dogs allowed. There is an extra pet deposit for one or two cats. There is an on-site no-cost laundry in the building for tenants' use, currently free. It can be rented for a minimum of six months, or stay as long as you wish.
