Pied a terre in the luxurious Essex building. Enjoy the wide balcony and floor to ceiling glass doors which open the home up to views directly overlooking Lake Merritt, with the tree-studded hills as a backdrop. This home is a light-filled charmer. A brick wall feature brings architectural interest into the bedroom area. A half-wall separates the bedroom from the kitchen/living areas, contributing to the open feeling of the space. Just down the hall are an updated bathroom, and in-home washer and drier in the dedicated laundry closet. The Essex amenities are renowned: 24-hour front desk security concierge, well-stocked building exercise room facing the lake and a rooftop pool, large community patio area and community room. Dedicated space in gated parking garage.
