Description

Fully furnished, lovely and spacious Elmwood upstairs apartment in garden cottage behind detached main house and locking gate on quiet, safe street. Easy walk or bike to UC Berkeley, quick walk to Rockridge BART or transbay bus to SF. Size: Approx. 700 sq. ft., including the dedicated laundry room. A covered area is available for a bicycle. The space is large enough to entertain some dinner guests comfortably, and cozy enough to feel truly at home. Highlights: Hardwood oak floors, walk-in closet, high ceiling, large windows with custom curtains, tree views, nice second-floor deck with bistro table and chairs, on-site laundry, lots of natural light. Gas, electricity, water, trash, and high-speed Wi-Fi service included. Very well maintained. Bedroom and Living Area: Comfortable queen bed (with all bedding), floor lamp and ceiling lighting, built-in bookshelves, desk, brick (non-operable) fireplace, small couch, living room chairs, multiple dressers. Kitchen and Dining: The kitchen has a full set of cookware and dishes/glasses/cutlery, several convenient appliances (e.g., coffee maker, blender, etc.), ample storage, a counter with two barstools, and a dining room table with four chairs. A bi-fold shutter door separates the kitchen from the larger main room. Smoke-Free, Allergy-Free: No smoking, vaping, or pets. NONE. Nice Neighbors: Friendly, courteous, respectful couple (long-time owner) lives in a separate craftsman house on the property. We share bicycle storage, take in each other's mail when out of town, swap new restaurant recommendations, and offer general neighborliness. Great Location: On a quiet, safe, beautiful Elmwood street, one block off College Avenue in Berkeley. Walking time: UC Berkley, 20 min; Rockridge BART, 10 min; transbay bus, 5 min; coffee/bakeries/restaurants/markets, 3 min. With just about everything you might need within walking distance (including mind-clearing hikes along trails in the hills), perhaps there's no need for a car. You: Please tell us a bit about you. You’d be our neighbor. Email: stevenericsherman@gmail.com
