2323 Magnolia St, Oakland, CA 94607

Available for rent 4/15

This updated loft is located in the heart of West Oakland. It's 1 bedroom, 1 bath, with a total of 1040 square feet spread across a... spacious downstairs and two open mezzanines.

Enjoy the convenience of in-suite laundry machines, a cozy sleeping nook, a dedicated office or library space, and the peace of mind provided by off-street enclosed parking.

It's nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, with local gems like the always-packed Japanese restaurant Soba Ichi, June's Pizza, Touchstone climbing gym, and the West Oakland Farmers Market. The O2 Artisans Aggregate, which provides workspace for crafts people and artists, is next door.

It's just moments away from Downtown Oakland. It's also super close to the 80 and 880 if you drive. You can also take a quick trip via the NL bus or BART into San Francisco.

This is not a cookie cutter loft with paper thin walls and boring gray decor. It's an industrial conversion from a 1960s factory. It has been thoughtfully renovated with every detail considered, including a luxurious bathroom and new kitchen with new appliances.

Loft features:

New bathroom. This project was completed in 2022. It features a large vanity, pleasant lighting, and an enormous shower.

New kitchen. This space was finished with the bathroom. The oven and fridge are new. It's efficiently arranged with lots of counter space for a loft of this size. It's great for entertaining.

Off-street parking. The unit includes a private parking space that's accessible via an automatic gate.

Unique flooring. The unit was originally part of a larger warehouse. The downstairs floor is smoothed concrete that has been kept clean and polished. It retains a lot of character from decades of professional use, but feels chic. Upstairs, the flooring is cork, which was chosen for its sustainability.

In-unit laundry. There is a laundry closet with a full-sized LG washer and dryer. They are stacked to maximize the space.

Natural lighting. There are two openable skylights and a large northern facing window.

Industrial-modern vibe. The original designer of the building's units left many of the large steel beams and pipes exposed. It's a great look that separates this space from many of the newly built lofts in the area.

One of the two sets of stairs in the loft is built from reclaimed warehouse steps. The second set was upgraded with live-edge acacia wood steps from Ponderosa Woodworks, located just a block away.

The loft has very high ceilings that look great bare, or hung with large pieces of art. The entire space was recently professionally painted.

Neighborhood features

Restaurants/bars. There are food trucks all over the area, plus neighborhood favorites like Soba Ichi (right next door), June's Pizza, Kilovolt Coffee, and Prescott Market.

Commuting. The loft is close to the 80 and 880. It's also near major local roads like West Grand Avenue and Mandela Parkway.

Fitness. a world class climbing gym, is blocks away. Get Bent, offers space for dedicated powerlifters. If you're into Crossfit-style workouts, there are several options close by. Mandela Parkway is popular for runners.

Groceries. Target, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, and Berkeley Bowl West are all within a few miles. There is a great Sunday farmer's market located on Peralta St (a few blocks away from the climbing gym). The Saturday Grand Lake farmer's market is less than two miles away. Read More
