Quiet Garden Retreat in the Heart of Rockridge

Description

Enjoy a secluded garden retreat set amid lush plantings and a limestone fountain. Vaulted ceilings and artisan architectural details are paired with luxury appliances and thoughtful storage. A sliding door brings the outdoors in. Get cozy by the fireplace. Listen to the birdsong. This is a perfect place to rest and relax, but high-speed internet also invites working from home. And the conveniences of College Avenue are only minutes away on foot. Cafes include Cole Coffee, Ain't Normal and Highwire; restaurants include Yimm Thai, Sfizio, Wood Tavern, and Boichik Bagels; grocery stores including Safeway, Trader Joe's, Yasai Produce and Market Hall; boutique gyms for yoga, pilates, and HIIT; floral, chocolate, and French pastry shops; wine bars, pubs, taprooms, and bottle shops; the last remaining movie theater in Berkeley, Rialto Elmwood Cinemas; not to mention the Rockridge BART Station and AC Transit for easy access to downtown Oakland and San Francisco. The guesthouse comes with its own washer and dryer. A professional cleaning service takes place every other week. The owners perform their own gardening, and while the backyard is a shared space, tenants of the guesthouse will receive primary use.
