Description

Cozy and charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage-style home on a quiet side street right in the heart of Oakland. Very short walk to MacArthur BART and the Temescal neighborhood. Only about three miles from Berkeley campus with public transit options (train and bus) available. Walkable and bikeable to some of Oakland's best neighborhoods, including Rockridge, Uptown, Downtown, and Lake Merritt. Live within minutes of amazing coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, including several on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. Enjoy our home! We recently moved out of state, and the home and neighborhood we loved for 10 years is waiting for you. The home comes fully furnished with everything you need to live comfortably. It also comes with our wonderful neighborhood and amazing neighbors. Enter into a living room with chaise sofa, reclaimed redwood coffee table, TV, and entertainment center. An open floor plan in the main space means the living room flows directly into a dining area that seats six, a well-stocked kitchen (equipped with five different methods for brewing coffee!), and an adorable breakfast nook with tons of natural light. The bathroom was recently redone with new tile, vanity, and fresh coat of paint. Master bedroom has a queen bed and beautiful french doors leading to a private deck in the backyard -- great for working from home or enjoying your morning coffee. Second bedroom can function as an office -- with a sit-to-stand desk, ergonomic office chair, extra monitor, and printer -- or can sleep a second member of the household on a fold-out futon/couch. The home has fiber wifi and all utilities (gas, electric, water, garbage & recycling, wifi) are included. The backyard is an urban oasis -- small but able to seat 4-6 comfortable for get-togethers in amazing Bay Area weather. Bistro lights and a patio furniture set provide everything you need. Beautiful plant life, including a lemon tree and lime tree, are all on auto-water and take no work. We have worked hard to make sure you have everything you need and hope you will love our home as much as we have. No off-street parking is available, but on-street parking is commonly available directly in front of the house. Permit required.
