1 Lakeside Dr #701

Pet friendly 1 bedroom 1 bath with 24 hour doorman to screen all building visitors and receive your deliveries. Programmed key fob required to access secured elevator, garage and common areas. This modern luxury highrise is directly across from Lake Merritt and close to BART. A central convenient location with a 95 Walk Score, 84 Transit Score, and 89 Bike Score. Established building community where many residents own their unit and have a vested interest in a high quality living environment. This unit is designed with an enclosed bedroom and bedroom door. With the door you have a much better feeling of privacy compared with the "sleeping area" found in a studio. Includes a full private bath, in-unit washer/dryer, range, microwave and dishwasher. A reserved automobile surface space on the main parking level is included. Community amenities include an equipped exercise room and business center. Speedy elevators whisk you up and down. Speedy gigabit Internet available through Google Web Pass. This is the most secure residential building I have seen. All building entrances can only be accessed with a programmed key fob that is registered to individual units. In addition to doors, both the elevator and 20 foot garage door also require the digital fob. Any loss fob can be deactivated by the manager. All people and vehicles entering the building must pass in view of the front desk that has 1 or 2 concierges assigned 24/7. Even if someone slips past the concierge, the locked elevator will keep that person from accessing the residential floors. Lake Merritt can be seen from this unit, but the view is limited. This unit has a separate bedroom (with door) whereas many lake view units have an alcove (no door) for a sleeping area. The temperature in this unit is stable throughout the day because it is shielded from the hot morning and afternoon sun whereas most Essex units do not have air conditioning.
