Athol Ave

Nestled on the second floor of a beautifully preserved 130-year-old Victorian home, this bright and airy (fully furnished) apartment offers a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience - just one block from Oakland's scenic Lake Merritt. The space is completely private, with its own entrance via a staircase from the backyard, though it shares outdoor areas, laundry, and a spacious garden with two other units. Inside, natural light floods the apartment, highlighting its vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The bedroom features an adjacent office space equipped for remote work, complete with a pull-out sofa for extra guests. The backyard is a serene retreat, shaded by majestic oak trees, with a BBQ area ideal for al fresco dining. In the front yard, garden beds and citrus trees offer fresh ingredients for your meals - feel free to harvest! While the home's multi-unit nature means you may occasionally hear neighbors, it has never been an issue for sleeping. The neighborhood itself is highly walkable, with grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants just steps away. Free street parking is available (though it can be a bit tight in the evenings), and the apartment is less than a mile from the nearest BART station, with quick access to major freeways. This is a true urban oasis - offering the best of city living with a peaceful, nature-filled escape right at home.
