Private, Garden-Setting In-Law Studio
Beautiful, cozy studio in-law unit in a charming 1920's Craftsman bungalow, located in a safe and friendly neighborhood at the base of the Oakland Hills. We built this apartment from the ground up, and it has many amazing features.
The unit is in a serene and safe garden setting, with a large, shared yard with professionally-designed landscaping, patio, decks, and mature redwood and oak trees. A private and secure entrance removed from the street helps the unit feel more like a home than an apartment.
Although the unit is fairly small, it also has a large kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, granite countertops, gas stove/oven, stainless steel appliances, and lots of storage in the solid beech wood cabinets and pantry. It also has a full bathroom with a stone tile shower, travertine tile, and storage cabinet and shelves.
Additional features include:
- Laundry room next to the unit (private/not shared)
- Built-in granite work/eat table
- Light-filled and warm interior, with double-paned wood windows and elegant wall colors
- Quiet, with fully-insulated walls and sound-reducing drywall
- Clothes closet
- Lighted display shelf, and additional built-in display shelves
- Security gate at street and security cameras outside
- Additional storage available next to unit
- Ample street parking
- A short walk from Farmer Joe's Market, Safeway, PEETs Coffee, La Farine Bakery, Bombera, Grand Lake Kitchen (and many other restaurants), banks, library, post office, and Dimond Park
- Montclair, Piedmont, Glenview, Grand Ave., Lake Merritt, Rockridge, Uptown, and Downtown are all less than 10 minutes away
- Near 580 and Highway 13, major AC Transit lines, and the Fruitvale casual carpool
Looking for a responsible tenant with stable employment and good credit (as with most landlords, we require all prospective tenants to have verifiable income equal to or greater than 3 times the monthly rent). Co-signing possible if lack of credit history. Due to its size and layout, the unit is suitable for one person. Single occupancy preferred.
There is no smoking in the apartment or yard, and no pets allowed.
$1495/month rent (which includes monthly yard cleanup), plus $150/month for all utilities (except cable and wi-fi). Available November 29, 2025 for a one-year lease.
Single occupancy only (no couples or children). One-year lease. Utility fee covers gas, electricity, water, sewer, and garbage (WiFi and cable not included).
