I am renting my beautiful 2+ bedroom, 1 bath home on the border of Oakland, Emeryville and Berkeley. It is the perfect place to live and within walking distance to Emerybay (AMC, shopping, IKEA, restaurants, Trader Joe's), Amtrak, BART, public transportation, Berkeley Bowl West, Farmer's Markets, the water walkway of the bay, and less than a mile to the Bay Bridge. Behind my home is a park/school/baseball diamond and a recreational center. The neighbor is very close knit and always embracing any new neighbors (they have monthly potlucks at various houses for get-togethers). The neighborhood is quiet. It is a dream home. 1917 Craftsman, 972 sqft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, plus extra room. Hardwood, slate and tile floors throughout, detached garage and carport, off street parking. Top of the line appliances including a 48 inch fridge, washer/dryer, steam room, separate bidet, gardens with relaxing front porch, back deck with lemon tree, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes and hammock for falling asleep under the wind sail. Bedroom 1 was used successfully as an AirBnb room with the ability to lock the other half of the house for private work and live space. Bedroom 2 is a beautiful room that has pocket doors that open into the kitchen. This room has also been used as a private dinning room. Room 3 is an additional room where the stackable washer and dryer live. This room can be used as a bedroom or an office. Bathroom has an extra large "steam room" shower which is incredible, and has one of the best rain shower heads. You may never leave this room. There is also a separate "bidet", a European love. I will instruct if this is something new for you. I have etched King and Queen sketches into the tile, with painted flower branches over each side as a reminder of the blessings this world has to offer. Front Porch has comfy chairs and is a great place to watch the neighborhood walk by and strike up a conversation with how much they love this house. Slate lines the stairs and the porch. At night there are solar lights that include 4 candles in the attic window. A touch that most miss. These are always a great "welcome home" feel when coming in late. Backyard includes deck, hammock, plants (all on the drip system), table and various seating areas, which are great for quiet meditations especially next to the Goddess Angel who whispers, "every thing is always working out for you." Food producing plants include, Myers lemons, blueberries, tomatoes and an occasional herb that pops up. I have strived to make this home a true sanctuary in the middle of city life. I have a gardener come in once a month to trim, clean up and make sure the garden is thriving. This is a gift to my tenants. There is off-street private parking in the back of the house, with three areas to park a vehicle; garage, carport and driveway with the ability to rent out the carport space for additional cash. I am an artist/musician/astrologer and have created a lot of artistic pieces that are sprinkled and built into the house, including tile etchings and stained glass. I am currently showing the house.
