Built in 2008 and located in the heart of downtown Oakland's Chinatown, this 1 bedroom 1 bath unit in 8 Orchids with a dreamy gourmet kitchen has more counter space than many single family homes! In addition to the counters are cherry-stained cabinets, gas stovetop range, and stainless steel appliances. With a huge walk-in closet in the bedroom, the view through the living room and bedroom windows looks out onto the courtyard patio. The spacious bath has granite vanity and tile flooring, and the washer and dryer are conveniently tucked away in the hallway closet. Included is a deeded space in the parking garage. 8 Orchids is a secured complex with an entry lobby with a soaring 20 ft.-high ceiling, media center and the rooftop garden that offers views of Oakland and the Bay. With a Walk Score of 98, blocks away from Old Town Oakland and Jack London, you can enjoy the Farmers Markets, restaurants, shops, and movie theater. BART, public transit and freeways are all nearby.
