2835 Hillegass cottage

This brown shingle cottage is located in a quiet, sunny backyard 8 blocks from campus (close to the Law School). It is suitable for one person, preferably a woman because the sleeping loft is not tall enough for a man. The cottage is small and... quirky but comfortable.

In addition to a sleeping loft, there is a sofa that is also a pull-out double bed for guests, a desk, kitchen area, and bathroom with shower. The cottage is furnished with dishes and cooking utensils (and bedding, if desired). A washer and drier for clothing is available, as well as free use of a sunny deck for reading or entertaining. The Elmwood shopping area on College Ave. with restaurants, coffee shops, a market, take-out food and a movie theater is two short blocks away. BART is about 8 blocks away. There are two large supermarkets close by.

The rent is $1,700/month and includes utilities. The lease is for July 15 through June 15, 2025. Contact me by email, phone, or text for further information: [email removed] / 740 590-6605.
