Property Description

Originally part of the historic Calou's Linen Service, this striking live/work space combines industrial scale with everyday comfort across more than 2,400 sq ft. Twenty-five-foot ceilings and oversized pyramid skylights flood the home with natural light, while the end-unit positioning gives it the feel of a standalone space. The layout is smart, flexible, and surprisingly functional: two ensuite full bathrooms, dedicated in-unit laundry, and a chef-style kitchen outfitted with an 8-burner professional stove, dual ovens, grill, heat lamps, and double sinks. Whether you're hosting, creating, working from home, or all of the above. This space adapts with you. Even if your biggest creative pursuit is a Sunday dinner party, this unit delivers. There's something genuinely hard to explain about moving through 2,400 square feet of open, sun-drenched space every day. It doesn't feel like an apartment. It feels like a home that got the proportions right for once. The kind of place where guests walk in and immediately stop talking, where you stop noticing other people's Instagram interiors because yours already won. Recent improvements include a sound- and temperature-insulated roll-up garage door, frosted glass privacy upgrades, additional bathroom electrical outlets, electric towel warmer, new energy-efficient refrigerator, and a large-capacity heat pump washer/dryer combo. HOA has already replaced all skylight glass. Outside your door, you'll find one of Oakland's more unique communities: artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, shared garden spaces, and gated deeded parking. Not to mention the no-parking zone directly in front of your roll-up door. Beyond the gates, you're just a quick ride or walk away from the best slice of Oakland: Drake's Dealership, Delah Coffee, The New Parkway Theater, and Javi's Empanadas. A stone's throw in the other direction is the call of an exquisite sandwich in Stay Gold Deli's back patio and the allure of the periodic plant sales across the street at the Oakland School District Garden & Farm. While you'd likely never want to leave, quick access to BART, AC Transit, and any freeway you need will get you where you need to go. Bold architecture, real community, and room to live differently.
