Looking to live in community while having your own place? Join our Grand Lake redwood oasis. Furnished (per photos) or unfurnished, South-facing, light-filled, and quiet two-bedroom apartment in duplex with a beautiful shared yard featuring an old-growth redwood tree and a newly-built ADU. Centrally located in the Grand Lake neighborhood within walking distance from Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake Theater and farmers market. Apartment is spacious (1,250 square feet) and features in-unit washer / dryer, 6-burner Wedgewood gas range and professional hood, a fireplace and two walk-in closets. The kitchen has a dining nook. Back door opens onto the backyard. Perfect place for a couple who need a work-from-home office or an extra guest room. Rent is $3,250. Deposit is $3,250. Tenant responsible for all utilities (PG&E, water, waste management). Deposit + last month's rent due upon lease signing. First month's rent due upon move-in. Chill small dogs (less than 20 lbs) considered and require pet deposit. No smoking allowed on premises. A one-car garage with an adjacent off-street parking spot is optional for an additional $250 per month. Otherwise, street parking is usually not an issue. No street cleaning. I am the landlord and I live in a detached ADU on the property. So I am looking for great tenants / neighbors who want to enjoy this little redwood oasis and contribute to making it beautiful. Think gardening, communal dinners, occasional backyard jams or house concerts. A little about me: I am an ethnomusicologist working at UC Berkeley. I like to cook, swim and play music. If interested, please email or message me with some information about yourself. I can show the apartment by appointment. Please be prepared to show proof of employment, current credit report, references from last rental, as well as personal references. Two-bed one bath apartment available October 20 or later. Rent does not include utilities (water, PG&E, waste management) and internet.
