244 Lakeside Drive Unit 9, Oakland, CA 94612

Property Description

Perched on the 7th floor of the historic Bechtel Building on Oakland's Gold Coast, this one-of-a-kind 3BD/3.5BA residence spans 2,400+ SF and captures a rare vantage point on Lake Merritt - where water, sky, & parkland fill every window. At the heart of the home, a truly exceptional kitchen designed in collaboration with award winning McCroskey Interiors pairs sculptural beauty with professional-grade performance. At its center sits a 14-foot Calacatta marble island, conceived as both function and art, surrounded by a full suite of Sub-Zero, Miele, Gaggenau, and Wolf appliances. Every detail is thoughtfully executed: a custom soapstone fireplace, spa-like tadelakt baths, & a serene primary suite designed for optimal rest. The home feels both elevated and deeply livable - grand in scale, yet warm in experience. Residents enjoy a shared rooftop deck with Art Deco detailing & keyed access to the historic Schilling Garden. Amenities include in-unit laundry, secured garage pkg w/ on-site security, a landscaped motor court, & direct elevator access to the residence. Two storage rooms with lake views of their own are a continuation of the building's quiet sense of abundance. Set in one of the Bay Area's most walkable, vibrant neighborhoods near Lake Merritt, transit, and top dining, this is not simply a home, it is a commissioned work of design within a legacy building, offering a level of living that is rarely achieved and impossible to replicate today.
