Conveniently located in Temescal, one of Oakland's hottest districts, this bright, spacious unit offers convenience and comfort with its high ceilings, wood floors and abundant natural light through double-pane windows. The space available for rent is a private suite that includes a private entrance, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a private living room. From your front stoop, climb up a grand staircase to a landing with coat rack and bench. From here, you can opt to relax in your private living room with Smart TV and bay windows, or enjoy the views of the Oakland hills from both bedrooms, which offer flexibility for sleeping, home office, guests, exercise etc. Each bedroom comes equipped with a dresser and ample closet space, the smaller bedroom offering a comfortable Japanese futon that can be used as a bed or lounge, and the larger bedroom hosting a queen bed. Two desks with rolling office chairs are available, and free, high-speed Wifi blankets the entire space. The private bathroom hosts a large glass-enclosed shower and ample storage space. Cooks will love the shared kitchen with its granite counters, large stainless steel fridge, microwave, dishwasher and gas range. Choose from several options for eating, including counter seating, a dining table with 6 chairs and an outdoor table under a shade sail on the generous back deck, where you can relax at tree-top level while gazing out at broad neighborhood views and stunning sunsets. Free, shared laundry facilities are on the ground floor. This home is ideally situated for car-free living! Walk a few minutes to popular gathering spots like Tacos Oscar, Homeroom, Temescal Brewing; The Wine Shop, States coffee, Mother Tongue coffee/bar, Brenda’s, Mama's Royal Cafe, Co Nam, Monster Pho, Wise Sons Jewish Deli and Kitava, along with many more offerings on nearby Broadway, Piedmont, Telegraph and College Aves. You can also stroll to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Piedmont Grocery. Conveniently located just a handful of blocks from both Kaiser and the Alta Bates Summit medical complex. Only 4 blocks to the BART station, you can catch direct trains to SFO and Oakland Airports as well as downtown Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and beyond. Or choose from a wide range of express and local buses that quickly drop you at UC Berkeley, the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco or Children’s Hospital. The free Emery Go-Round bus delivers you to IKEA and other big box stores, as well as the Pixar campus and Amtrak stations. A couple of minutes on a bus, train or bicycle (bike rental stand across the street) transports you to the Jewel of Oakland, Lake Merritt, where you can get exercise, enjoy lakeside dining or delight in people watching as you stroll or run the 3.5 mile lakeside path. The other resident, Donka (they/them), is a queer person in their early 40s who works as a Park Ranger in East Bay Regional Parks. When not working, Donka loves to surf, hike and enjoy all of the delicious local foods the bay has to offer. As a housemate Donka appreciates direct communication and folks who clean up after themselves. A demanding physical job means Donka is generally asleep by 10pm and out of the house at 5:45am on workdays so it is important to live with someone who can respect quiet hour agreements. Donka has a shy, independent and well-trained dog. Traeger is an 11 year old, mid-size, mixed-breed dog. He can be restricted to the kitchen/dining area and deck as needed. We look forward to meeting you!
