The Essex: panoramic views of Lake Merritt from this 10th Floor 2 Bedroom/2 Bath Condo

By
Real Estate Agent with Alain Pinel BRE 01367196

I caught myself telling friends about my newest listing as being so "San Francisco-chic" in Oakland, at an incredible price. This is a short sale with two loans, both with Wells Fargo. With all these amenities, the buyer may surely find the waiting time for short sale approval as so....oh, so VERY worth the wait!

This is located at The Essex on 1 Lakeside Drive in Oakland. Unit #1004 condo is at the 10th floor. And as they say, the higher the floor, the better the view! And there's a premium for that.

Main Photo
Location: Lake Merritt
THE ESSEX is a relatively new condominium complex started in 2001 and made a tremendous impact when it was completed in 2004. Not only is it one of the tallest structures facing the lake, but it also featured tremendous amenities that drew many waterview condo-seeking dwellers to bid on units as they became available.

It was an instant hit. The lakeview units have amazing views. And the rule for valuing the condo was simple: the higher the floor, the higher the price.

Here's an opportunity for a patient buyer to own one of these fabulous units at a surprisingly low price.

located at the 10th floor, a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo offered as a short sale at a very competitive price of $448,000. The short sale lender is Wells Fargo who will determine the final sales price, terms and conditions.

Many fabulous amenities that include: well-equipped gym, heated pool and spa, spacious clubhouse with full kitchen, barbecue area, residents' business center, 24-hour security, controlled access garage, property manager and service personnel onsite.

Pacita, best of luck with this absolutely awesome home.  The amenities appear to be wonderful, and the view is even better.  Wow, what a great home to come home to.

Thanks....while I was taking pictures, I took stock of the location, the view, the amenities....I wanted to move there! The lake is 3.1 miles so it provides a great walk/run. At night, it's brightly lit. At Christmas, they put up colored lights. And with the nearly year-round weather in the low 60s, it's simply a fabulous place to live.

Definitely looks like a great place, Pacita. Lake Merritt holds lots of nice memories for me, from Fairyland and bike rentals whenI was young, to a stint working at Kaiser Permanente at the lake edge, and more recently the Oakland Museum.
