144 N Dithridge 809

This exceptionally spacious two-bedroom condo in the wonderful Dithridge Towers building has an ideal location in the heart of Oakland and bordering on Shadyside. The unit has a classic old-world charm, accented by a long hallway, which passes the living room and bedrooms, and leads to French doors that open into the dining room. The original parquet hardwood (oak) floors have been retained throughout most of the unit. The living room features a stone-framed fireplace (decorative), antique wall sconces (2), cathedral ceiling, and its walls (as well as the dining room’s walls) are accented with raised-frame molding. The hallway is lined with built-in bookcases and cabinets, and two rooms and the kitchen feature original Casablanca brand ceiling fans. The condo has additional storage space in the building’s basement. The unit’s location on the 8th floor ensures plenty of light and its design provides maximum quiet and privacy. The kitchen and bathroom are ready for updating, providing a great opportunity to personalize the spaces so that they reflect your own style and taste. Enjoy exceptional access to Oakland’s universities and hospital systems, with most located within a few blocks. Laundry facilities are conveniently available on every floor, with an additional laundry area in the basement. Dithridge Towers is a secure building with an active camera-based monitoring system and a 24-hour doorman/garage attendant always on site. The availability of valet parking (only indoor) is unique; valet-or self-parking (outdoor only) is for a fee. The monthly HOA fee includes all the basic utilities, such as electricity, gas, and water, as well as maintenance of the common areas and building insurance.
