This is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath Midcentury stand-alone ADU, designed and built in 1965 by architect Walter Thomas Brooks. The "Petal Cottage" is a serene, light-filled oasis in a park-like setting. It has new oak wood floors, a newly designed kitchen with new full-size appliances and a separate entrance to a shared backyard. The "front house" is owner occupied.
The El Cerrito Hillside area is quiet, beautiful and full of good vibes! We are 5 minutes from Bart, 8 minutes from the 80/580, and a 10 minute drive to Berkeley.
We are a quiet family, tenant must be mellow as well and OK with dogs (there is a large, extremely cute Bernerdoodle in residence). Cats OK, dogs considered based on suitability with ours. Will extend move-in date for the right tenant!
First/last month's rent and security deposit due at signing. Pets negotiable. No smoking. Owner pays all utilities including PG&E, high speed internet, water, trash collection. Tenant must be OK with dogs.
