The home is a recently remodeled 3 BR/ 2BR craftsman home a block and a half from Lake Merritt with a huge magical backyard. There is a Jack n Jill bathroom between the front two bedrooms. The back bedroom connects to middle bedroom through a door, but can be kept bolted closed if you don't want that option. The second bathroom is near the back door. Big front living room doubles as a nice office or guest room since it can be closed off from the rest of the house with the sliding glass door. Large dining room with high ceilings and original stained glass windows. Built-in bookshelves in entryway, dining room and living room. Kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances, quartz counters. Back hallway has an LG washer and dryer. Huge, enclosed backyard has a redwood deck and an orchard of mature fruit trees (yummy apples, satsumas, pomegranates, persimmons, pears, grapefruit and lemons). Bird/butterfly friendly native plant landscaping. Off-street parking in front of house. Large partially finished basement available for storage. Home is unfurnished. Landlord provides a gardener and pays water bill. Pets okay with additional deposit. Please do not disturb occupants. PLEASE NOTE: We are expecting the house to be available starting September 1st, as our current tenants are in process of buying a home, and have told us that if their purchase moves forward they will move out mid-August. We will be offering tours while the home is tenant-occupied. We are home owners, not a management company, and we are looking for renters who: -will be respectful and polite to the neighbors (their happiness is important to us) -Have good credit and income at least 3x the rent -Have a good rental history -Would pay a pet deposit: $500 per pet (cats and/or dogs) -Keep renters insurance; -Are non-smokers and will not allow smoking in the house -Know that the landlords want to maintain the home and are happy to work with us if/when there are any issues.
