Magical secluded retreat (1 bed/1ba) in the woods, 5 min walk to campus

Description

A beautiful, furnished, one-bedroom apartment nestled in the woods, just a five minute walk from UC Berkeley. Being here feels like living in the countryside -- the house is hidden from the street down a gravel path, surrounded by oaks and flowering plants. The wood beams and built-in details give it an airy cabin feel, along with views and a terrace onto a forested hillside. There are little touches of magic, like the family of deer that often nap in the backyard or the distant chimes of the Campanile. This is an old historic home that has been occupied by many artists and academics over the years, including photographer Dorothea Lange. This apartment was once her studio, where she first printed some of her most famous photographs. The neighborhood is very safe. There are multiple restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance. We're also within a 10 minute bike ride to Gourmet Ghetto, the Berkeley Rose Garden, and the downtown Berkeley BART. We have ample bike storage space - car parking is on street. There are also garage spaces which can be rented nearby.
