#523 is unlike other units in the Broadway Grand building, and that’s exactly why Susie and Ellen selected this prime pad when they purchased it directly from the developer. While they wanted to live in the vivacious downtown area — in a 99 WalkScore® neighborhood close to BART, dining, bars, coffee shops, and Oakland’s vibrant art scene — they fell in love with the softer side of unit 523. The light-filled rooms, a bedroom with a charming window seat, and a private balcony overlooking the landscaped courtyard made this home feel truly special. This highly functional unit features recessed lighting, in-unit laundry, a custom-built media center by Jason Lees Designs, and a sizable primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and custom wardrobe system. Over the past 17 years, Susie and Ellen enjoyed eating lunch on the balcony while watching hummingbirds, opening the patio door to let the breeze and fresh air flow in, seeing their cat sunbathe on the balcony, and strolling through the neighborhood. Their favorite local spots included the Y gym, walking around Lake Merritt, frequenting Sweet Bar Cafe, Farley’s East, and enjoying the firepits at Drake’s Dealership. The building boasts modern upgrades and other amenities for today’s lifestyle.
