320 Lee Street 1302

Some addresses are simply rare. This is one of them. One of only two private penthouses atop the landmark Van Buren Tower, this sweeping two-bedroom, two-bath residence rises 13 floors on a hill overlooking Lake Merritt — delivering 1,466 square feet of beautifully finished interior living and over 1,400 square feet of private outdoor space wrapped by 300+ degrees of views. The Berkeley Hills. The Oakland Hills. The Bay. The Peninsula. Downtown Oakland's glittering skyline. All of it, yours. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated without losing a drop of its mid-century soul. Refinished white oak hardwood floors. Custom Schrock cabinetry, Emerald Pearl granite, and Jenn-Air and Bosch appliances in the kitchen. New plumbing fixtures and lighting throughout. In-unit laundry hookups, plus shared laundry with the one neighboring penthouse. A gas fireplace that makes the living room feel like exactly that. Outside, three distinct spaces await: a sweeping 1,100+ sq ft terrace brilliant with city lights and Lake Merritt's famous ring of lights after dark; a private 300 sq ft south-facing balcony made for slow mornings on the water; and a north-facing balcony accessed through floor-to-ceiling glass and sliders from both bedrooms. Van Buren Tower delivers: secure garage parking, EV charging, bike and storage lockers, guest parking, pet-friendly living, and most utilities included — managed by a well-run HOA. Steps from Grand and Lakeshore's celebrated dining, Lakeside Park, and the nation's oldest bird sanctuary. Minutes from 19th Street BART and easy freeway access throughout the Bay Area. Penthouses like this are rarely available — and impossible to forget. Twilight Open: 6/5 7:00 - 9:00pm; Open Sat/Sun: 6/6 & 6/7 2:00 - 4:30pm
