About This Home

As of November 2021

One block from Lake Merritt’s Lakeside Park, this 1-bedroom condo is in the swanky and desirable Van Buren Tower. The updated kitchen features solid wood cabinets, tile floor, and concrete counters. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with bright natural light during the day, and the twinkle of lights from the lakeside neighborhoods at night, all of which can be witnessed from the wood-covered balcony, conveniently accessed from the living room or bedroom. Original parquet wood floors reflect the mid-century vibe, and a modern bathroom remodel adds to the updated charm. The security garage, two elevators, storage space, and guest parking make living here a dream come true!
