Charming 2+-BR/2BA Northwest Berkeley home nestled amid fruit trees near Berkeley's famous Fourth Street shops and cafes; easy access to UC-Berkeley campus, San Francisco and more. Originally remodeled by architect owner, this home has two downstairs bedrooms--a master with queen sized Danish oak bed, and second light-filled bedroom that can be furnished as child's bedroom or second study. Main bath on first floor with tub, shower, and laundry (washer/drier). Bright, south-facing living room with original Douglas fir flooring, decorative fireplace, bay window looking out to fruit trees. Large kitchen with new stainless appliances, and eat-in dining area leading to back deck under olive and apple trees. Upstairs is a second full bath with huge skylight, and a spacious dormer room currently furnished as office and/or guest bedroom with skylight. House comes furnished, including all linens, towels, dishes, ready to move in. Rent includes high-speed Internet. Housekeeping available by arrangement. Northwest Berkeley--also known as the Ocean View neighborhood--is a historic, architecturally interesting part of town with leafy residential streets yet close to transportation and all amenities. * BART station (rapid transit), 10 blocks * Bus stops, 2 blocks (Bus 51B or 52 to UC campus) * UC-Berkeley campus less than 2 miles * West Campus Swim Center, 8 blocks * Park and Community Center (tennis, basketball, Pickleball, playground, gym), 2 blocks * Whole Foods, 8 blocks, along with excellent bakeries and ethnic food stores Just five blocks from Berkeley's famous Fourth Street, a wonderful place to stroll and relax, sip Peets coffee and listen to live music, people-watch or shop (see links below). Close to freeways and train connections to other parts of the Bay Area as well. I am a retired professor and long-time member of Sabbatical Homes, and have had the pleasure of hosting numerous Sabbatical Homes professionals, couples and families over the years. I enjoy creating a comfortable home where visitors can work, relax, and enjoy all the delights Berkeley and the Bay Area have to offer.
