Why rent when you can have a place to call your own? Perched above street level in the centrally-located Key Route Lofts building, this second-floor loft condo offers scale, light, and livability. The vibe is more art gallery than apartment thanks to soaring vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows providing natural light, a gas fireplace, and an open floor plan that adapts to your lifestyle. The main level has bamboo flooring and the loft bedroom upstairs has new carpet. The 1-car garage parking, in-unit laundry, and sizable private balcony make this home a must-see. The kitchen offers newer stainless steel appliances and a sizable breakfast bar. The first floor offers flex space for a home office, your yoga mat or Peloton, or a reading nook. A spiral staircase connects both levels-upstairs, the bedroom loft includes a catwalk mezzanine perfect for storage or showcasing plants, art, or your next fashion show. An ensuite bath with shower over tub completes this level. This is that rare find: serene and tranquil inside, while dining, shopping, and transit options sit just outside your door. Bay Street, Target, Home Depot, MacArthur BART, I-580, 880, Highway 24, the Bay, and Aquatic Park are all minutes away.
