1BR available in 3BR/2BA with large yard and studio space

We are renting out 1 furnished bedroom in our serene 3BR, 2BA home. You’ll have shared use of a landscaped large, lush backyard with patio, deck (with lounge furniture), lawn, swing set, and professionally tended plantings; as well as a bright, sunny... 1BA workshop/studio space. House has hardwood floors throughout, granite counters, marble tile, and stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher). Private washer and dryer in-unit. Secure bike storage. High-speed mesh internet covers the entire property, including the large yard. We’re 0.5 miles (~7-minute walk) from the El Cerrito Plaza BART station and El Cerrito Plaza.
About us: Cal lecturer (M) and PhD student (F) in the other two bedrooms. We are friendly, tidy, respectful, and responsible; we’re looking for someone similarly inclined who will also appreciate our beautiful space and help keep it neat. We have one pet (cat, "Cleo") and are not looking to add to the menagerie.
Rent is $1400/month, including all utilities (water, gas, electric, waste, fiber wifi), as well as monthly professional cleaning and gardening services. Single occupant only. Plenty of on-street parking available. Some attic storage available. Available August 1.
