Located on the Oakland/Emeryville border, this 1400 square foot flat is on the top floor of what was once a single family home; now a duplex. Tenants have their own private entrance, street parking available and access to the backyard as well as an... outdoor deck for relaxation. Enjoy the feeling of a shared home space -- not just an apartment.
