208 Lee St Oakland CA 94610 | MLS #41147324

Le Chateau is one of those special Oakland properties that feels magical from the moment you arrive. Its beautifully landscaped courtyard winds through mature greenery, terracotta-tiled stairs and decorative ironwork, giving the eight-unit community a wonderful old-Hollywood character. 208 Lee Street carries that character inside, with nearly 1,700 square feet spread across three levels. The main floor feels substantial and distinctly home-like, with the living and dining spaces separated from the bedrooms above. In the living room, a beautiful exposed wood-beamed ceiling, brick fireplace and large windows give the room warmth and architectural presence. Hardwood floors continue into the dining room, a space made for lingering over dinner with friends. Just beyond, the kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and stainless appliances, with a powder room conveniently nearby. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom is especially spacious, with an adjoining dressing and closet area that includes a built-in desk—a charming and useful little space for getting ready, additional clothing storage or a compact work area. The second bedroom is also nicely proportioned and filled with natural light. Downstairs, the private one-car garage opens directly into a large unfinished bonus area with laundry and generous under-stair storage. It is highly useful as it stands for bikes, projects, gear and everyday overflow, while the size of the room leaves room to imagine something more finished—a media room, lounge, exercise space or other flexible use with thoughtful improvements. A covered patio just outside opens to the surrounding greenery. And Adams Point makes an especially good backdrop. Lake Merritt and Lakeside Park are nearby, along with the restaurants, cafés and shops of Grand Avenue. The Grand Lake Theatre and Saturday farmers market are close at hand, with Uptown and 19th Street BART also within easy reach. There is plenty happening nearby, while Le Chateau itself feels surprisingly tucked away. With its vintage architecture, generous proportions, private garage and stunning grounds, 208 Lee Street offers the ease of condominium ownership in a space that simply feels much more like a home.
