The kitchen is totally new and has a ton of counter space that will make cooking a dream. The brand new stainless steel appliances and new cabinets add to the beauty and functionality. The kitchen opens to the living and dining rooms to create an open floor plan – Great room. The big patio doors open right onto a nicely landscaped south facing back yard. There are so many new and updated systems that it will be easy to live here for many years to come. See the owner's list of improvements for more info. The seller has a clear pest report and an EBMUD Certified Sewer to make buying this condo even more attractive.

FuseBOX/new restaurant in West Oakland


WEST OAKLAND: FUSEBOX: Has finally opened!  Tucked away between live-work compounds, possibly Oakland's only lumber-mill, outsider artist's animal/animist statuary, chicken-runs and artisans and machinists fabricating everything from exquisite furniture to traditional Japanese joinery kit homes (from street trees processed by the lumber mill) this minimalist beauty box has arrived. 
This place is so good, and doing so many good things at once it's a little hard to believe. 
Check the links below for a full description . As they are Brand-brand new, be sure to call ahead to check the hours/days they are open. Confirmed lunch dates are Thursday and Friday 11:30 to 2:30pm, - Wednesdays added soon as well as morning coffee service. Dinner to come.
