Beautiful Craftsman * Large Gardens 2+BR | Rose Garden, Oakland

Description

A serene, light-filled retreat in one of Oakland’s most cherished neighborhoods — the thoughtfully furnished upper residence of a classic craftsman duplex, with a private courtyard and deck, set among mature oaks, pines, and redwoods in the heart of Grand Lake. Spread across two levels and roughly 1,800 square feet, the home offers two bedrooms, a dedicated office, a separate dining room, a gracious living room, and two and a half baths — a rare sense of space and calm for a furnished medium-term rental. Every room is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen and in-unit laundry, so you can simply arrive and settle in. The setting is what makes it special. A large private deck off the upper level opens to the treetops, while a large second lower deck and landscaped garden — shared with the studio below — invite quiet mornings and unhurried evenings. Out front, a sunny landscaped courtyard welcomes you home. It is peaceful, green, and genuinely restorative — a place to think and breathe. And Grand Lake is at your doorstep: independent shops, acclaimed restaurants, the beloved Saturday farmers’ market, grocery, and cafés are all an easy stroll away. For visiting faculty and researchers, UC Berkeley is about 16 minutes by car and Northeastern–Mills about 11; the 92 bus at the end of the block connects to BART, and the Transbay bus to San Francisco is a short walk away.
