Relax into lakeside luxury at The Sparrow's Nest on Lake Merritt. Perched high above the city with unobstructed views of Lake Merritt, Snow Park, and Schilling Gardens, the Nest blends stunning views with classic grandeur and modern convenience. Perfectly located on the lake, yet blocks from top restaurants, music venues, and just three blocks from BART, this iconic building makes no compromises and offers the best of all worlds: stunning nature views AND an unbeatable metropolitan location. A storied 100 year history, WITH a restoration and gut renovation completed in 2024 providing updated systems, electrical, and copper plumbing. The bedroom wing features three spacious rooms, all en-suite with private baths and views of the garden and Snow Park. Panoramic views of the lake take center stage in all of the living areas: a family room off of the kitchen flooded with afternoon sun, a chef's kitchen with Bertazzoni gas range and oversized quartz island, luxurious soapstone-mantle fireplace'd living room, and dazzling dining room. A laundry room, private elevator entry, and 1 parking complete the home. With amazing views, an unbelievable location, classic style, modern systems and 2420sqft of room to spare, you'll want to settle in the moment you flutter in the door.
