Newly remodeled private duplex unit in the heart of Crocker Highlands and Grand Lake. Walk to Lake Merritt and all that Grand Lake has to offer while working tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Come and work in this modern one bedroom + office, two bath apartment with all the attention to detail and comfort. Crocker Highlands is a quiet and safe neighborhood - an easy commute to San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. We are an amazing 6 minute walk to vibrant Lakeshore Ave and 15 minute walk to Lake Merritt!! Come and work with a few colleagues. Watch a presentation on the smart TV, take a personal call in the dedicated office, or enjoy the outdoors on the deck as you brainstorm your next great idea. The dedicated office includes a West Elm sectional full sized pullout bed and is comfortably outfitted with a desk and yoga mats. For the coffee lovers we have a multitude of options for you - Chemex, Nespresso and coffee maker with grinder. The deck is private and we have installed privacy screens so as not to bother you during your stay. You may see us pass by your deck from time to time. Backyard access is not included. This is primarily our home and we welcome guests who respect our space and environment in a professional manner. Please note that the house was built in 1920 and although thoroughly updated, sound does travel and you may hear our footsteps upstairs. The unit is not suitable for parties, large gatherings, or lots of late-night activity. You will have your own private entrance with a keypad entry! For the safety of our 6 hens and liability reasons we do not offer yard access but do hope you enjoy the views. Please note the unit does not have AC. The central heat is operated by a NEST thermostat. We live upstairs and you may hear footsteps or chatting on the deck above yours. Your unit is a dedicated STR unit so we are mindful of our guests and close by should you need anything. We have 6 chickens all named after The Spice Girls :) who lay beautiful eggs. When they lay an egg they sing a song announcing their accomplishment. You might hear the chickens in the morning. Amazingly for Oakland there is street parking in the area! Our neighborhood is known for being extremely safe, however, as in any urban area do not leave items visible in the car.
