This Lakeshore District duplex is located just a short block up from Lake Merritt, the heart of Oakland. There is an upstairs unit with 2+ bedrooms and 1 bath, the lower unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Both units have lots of original details intact, including wainscoting, coved ceilings and built-in hutches. The exterior has the original lapboard siding and decorative features from the early 1900’s Classic Box style. Both units need updating, but this duplex has the potential to be a special property. You can pick the finishes and updates that you would like and make this your own. Both units are vacant, a big “plus” in this marketplace. The Lake Merritt area is really the “Heart of Oakland." This location is just a short walk to the Lake and all it has to offer. You can enjoy outdoor activities around the Lake: jogging, bicycling, picnicking, Saturday's farmer’s market, and all the new shops and restaurants in the Grand Lake and Lakeshore Districts.
