Second Story includes private parking deck, washer/dryer, and separate "bonus room" only accessible through garage which is on top of the cottage (we are on a hill). Optional bonus room is $450 additional. Parking deck with one dedicated space for tenant. Inside the second story you will find your own laundry area with private washer and dryer and also the "bonus room" (approx. 10'x18' ) which has two windows facing Mt. Tam looking onto the tree tops). Past tenants have used the bonus room as a home office, hobby space, sewing room, photography studio, gym or storage. (Note: the bonus room cannot be used as a bedroom per the Town of Fairfax). Unit is cable and Internet ready. The cottage has two stories. But the two floors are not connected via an interior staircase. The Living space as described and large seated deck are on the lower floor. Away from the street. To get to the bonus room and/or laundry room you must walk from cottage front door up the outside concrete walkway to the parking deck where your car would be. Then open the garage door. (This space was once a garage but no longer used for parking cars.) Laundry area is on your left. Bonus room is straight ahead. Private for you and faces Mt. Tam. Rest of actual garage area is shared storage with landlord. Note: Landlord rarely needs to get to storage there (less than once a month) and always texts in advance. Atmosphere: Quiet, private, nurturing. Feel free to plant flowers or vegetables in the garden or on your deck. Your neighbors are squirrels, birds and deer. A large rose garden separates the main house from the cottage. Close to hiking and mountain biking trails just out the door and up or down the hill. The town of Fairfax can be reached by car in two minutes, or about half an hour walk. Fairfax boasts many restaurants, bars, and music venues, an outdoor Farmer's Market, and an upscale organic market, plus a movie theater with Dolby Sound, reclining lounge chairs, wine, beer and great popcorn. You are about half an hour from many beaches and coves along the California coastline which has kayaking, surfing, oysters, and inns, and about 40 minutes from the Wine Country areas of Napa and Sonoma. Commute time to San Francisco is 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. Are you the right tenant for our space? We hope so. We value our privacy and are respectful of yours. Many tenants have lived here happily for 3, 5, even 10 years - it is that nurturing and special. Best suited for one person, but several couples have enjoyed it as well. No drinking, no smoking property. We are on property so you might see us outside working in our rose garden, but we are quiet and drama free. We are looking for the right tenant (also drama free) and may be open to partial trade if you already have skills and are working as a contractor, landscaper, carpenter, or in masonry, hardscape, etc. Pets: We are pet friendly landlords. Cats are fine or small (mostly indoor) dog. Rent: For the cottage living space ONLY including 1 space on parking deck and private laundry area is $2250.
