Gorgeous converted single family home (partially furnished) into 3 separate, private units on each level (3). Enjoy the peace and quiet of the Redwood and Eucalyptus trees and a trailhead nearby to hundreds of hiking trails.
Unit 1 is the top unit, complete with hardwood floors, a fireplace feature, large open concept living room + chef-friendly kitchenette combo space. Note that a small oven/toaster, hot plate, minifridge and prep space are included - not a full kitchen.
Large one bedroom with a wall of windows overlooking a grove of trees. Full bathroom with thoughtful design details and bathtub/shower combo.
Utilities are included (trash, water, electric, gas/heat, wifi, etc).
Lease terms are somewhat flexible and a bit custom due to past experiences, tenant-landlord laws in Alameda County, and legal best practices. I require 1.5 month safety deposit before move-in. After that, I manage my rentals through Houfy, a property management software platform that protects renters and landlords. Note that this platform requires payment month-to-month, 30 days before occupancy. Ex: You'd pay to stay for the month of October, starting Oct 1st, by Sept 1st.
