Welcome to the 3rd Floor Loft, a charming and historically significant penthouse located in the heart of Jack London Square, Oakland. This full-floor live/work space is situated on the top floor of the American Bag Building, a landmark structure originally built in 1912 that once served as the headquarters for The American Bag and Union Hide Company. Following an extensive renovation in 1995, this building has been lovingly transformed while preserving its original brick and timber details.

This unique penthouse offers an expansive living area of ~4,400 square feet and features three bedrooms with two and a half bathrooms. The interior design includes high ceilings adorned with wooden beams, skylights for natural light, original wood flooring, and custom lighting throughout. The antique British cast iron phone booth provides, well, whatever you want it to!

A large, modern kitchen awaits you with stainless steel cabinets, concrete countertops, oversized pantry, convection oven, gas range with warming drawer & double dishwashers - perfect for food enthusiasts who appreciate functionality and openness.

The spacious master bedroom comes complete with a luxurious bathroom featuring a double sink, steam shower and jetted tub. Additionally, there's an impressive ~500 square foot closet and dressing area. Two additional bedrooms share another beautiful bathroom adorned with a red claw-foot tub. A bonus room can serve as an office or home gym.

The loft also provides two secure parking spaces for its residents along with freight elevator access for convenience (along with two stairwells). Additional features include hydronic radiator heaters throughout the home and a covered outdoor patio off the kitchen - ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying Oakland's sunsets.

Located just a few blocks from entertainment venues such as Jack London Cinemas and Yoshi’s Jazz Club; wineries like Rosenblum Cellars; sporting facilities like California Kayak; plus dining establishments like Left Bank Brasserie and Plank Beer Garden - this penthouse offers unparalleled access to some of Oakland's most popular attractions. Furthermore, it's only a few minutes from the Lake Merritt BART station and close to the Oakland Ferry Terminal, ensuring easy commutes to San Francisco.
