THIS LISTING IS FOR 1 PRIVATE BEDROOM AND 1 PRIVATE BATH IN A SHARED HOUSE, FOR MAX. 2 PEOPLE WITH BALCONY ACCESS. Landlord lives in. This completely renovated historic 1941 craftsman house in Pleasant Hill is modern with a touch of old-world wood. The house is on a 1/3-acre property that has a feel of a small urban farm, with chickens (eggs to share in part of the year), fruit trees, a cute rented-out ADU, sheds, BBQ area with seating, grill, and a stove. The balcony is looking out on this backyard and benefits from sustainable windows, heating, and lighting, which are making a contribution to the environment, and keep your portion of utilities and garbage low. Owner seeks a congenial housemate to share this precious space, which he restored just over a year ago. He is semi-retired with a home office, and an active life of his own. He has the skill and know-how to keep up the property so any issues can be addressed promptly. You will enjoy this property if you are progressive, enjoy a clean and odor-free environment, like the small farm feel, have a healthful lifestyle and are an animal lover. If you have a dog, you are attentive with walks twice a day. If this description sounds like we are on the same wavelength, then see below for more about the room. And if the room is of interest, please fill out the application here. The owner will be in touch. The Master Bedroom (20'3"x11') is well lit through south-facing, high efficiency windows. The room has a spacious feeling with a vaulted ceiling and exposed wooden beam. All lighting is recessed modern low-power LEDs with additional switched outlets throughout for ambient lighting. The walk-in closet (4'7"x11'5") is large enough to be used as an office space, with ample lighting, outlets and airflow from the HVAC, in addition to hanging your clothes on the built-in shelving and bars. A solid-wood knotty alder farm door quietly slides open or closed for privacy. The Master Bath is fully tiled with under floor heating and a 2-sink vanity with plenty of storage. The deep tub is a full six feet long and jetted for a peaceful retreat from a long day. In addition to ample vanity storage, there are also multiple deep niches beside the tub. The additional BALCONY is accessed through the hallway at the top stair landing (see house layout for details). Through the owner's spare room/office you will find a North-facing sliding patio door, which leads to a 5'x15' balcony overlooking the lovely trees and garden on aprox. 1/3 acre. In restoring the house, additional care was taken to reduce noise: All of the internal walls are insulated. A special 10mm rubber floor underlayment and acoustic isolation of the floor from the walls help keep all of the spaces very quiet. The high-efficiency windows also isolate sounds from outside, in addition to blocking heat and UV waves from the sun without limiting the visible light. Light blocking shades and curtains have been included in both rooms. In addition to the private spaces described above, the tenant will have shared access to the kitchen, dining room and laundry room (with all appliances). The backyard gas BBQ and picnic area is also a shared community space. All utilities, garbage and Internet are separate from the monthly rent with a flat fee of $150/mo. The owner has a dog that is very respectful and friendly, as well as free-ranging chickens for eggs. There is another tenant living in the separate backyard ADU, who also has a friendly dog. The house is heated/cooled with heat pumps in two separate zones with forced air. There is a high-efficiency gas fireplace that is usually sufficient to keep the house at a comfortable temp throughout the Winter. The kitchen has ample space for the owner and tenant and a very large shared refrigerator. Cooking is done on the gas Viking stove and oven. The owner could also imagine the tenant having their own small kitchenette en suite. This quiet oasis is located on a cul-de-sac, which ends at the Contra Costa Canal Trail, offering recreational and safe bicycle commute paths to DVC as well as downtown Walnut Creek, where the trail connects with the Iron Horse trail. Access to the 680 freeway is a short 1.2 miles at Monument Blvd. and downtown Pleasant Hill. The closest grocery store is a 0.5 mile walk. The PH BART station is a 7 min. drive. No smoking allowed on property. Pets must be compatible with owner's pet. Utilities are charged separately at a flat rate of $150 per month. On-street parking available, with driveway available soon.
