Adorable furnished cottage. Short walk or bike to Cal. Great neighborhood.

If you love cozy and warm in the winter and open air and breezy in the summer, you'll love this cottage set behind the main house in South Berkeley. It's sweet and small and definitely bigger, lighter, breezier, quieter, and WAY more private than a... dorm room. It truly moves fast every year. 250 sq. feet.
Negotiable on lease for students. Convenient to all - one block to Ashby Bart, one stop to downtown Berkeley, four blocks to the Berkeley Bowl, six or seven blocks to College Ave, a quick bike ride to the Temescal, four blocks to Whole Foods, close to many coffee shops and cafes, the cannabis club, easy walk or bike to campus, and the Starry Plough and La Pena are one block away.
Cottage has one large room with high wooden beams, sliding glass doors, a window, a skylight, and solar tube - beautiful breeze and light. Cottage has full bathroom with a large shower (no bathtub). Also has kitchenette - two burner stove, toast oven/convection oven, fridge that's bigger than dorm size, and all plates, utensils, cups, towels, sheets, comforter are included. Has a wall cabinet, standing cabinet, and two small dressers for storage. Sleeping area is full size loft that allows an office space underneath and the above mentioned dressers for clothes storage. Two comfortable chairs, cute lights/lamps, throw rugs, and floor is wood laminate. Small front patio with table and chairs; lots of plants.
Property surrounded by eight foot redwood fence, has security cameras around the house. Owner lives on the property, any issues/maintenance are handled quickly. Landlord is responsive and wants you to have a good living area. NO SMOKING INSIDE - Patio is fine for smoking. All utilities included including electric, trash, the fastest fiber optic, water. Washer/dryer in the basement along with extra storage for you. Negotiable on pets.
PARKING IS NOT INCLUDED - you can get a parking permit, but you would have to contact City of Berkeley for that. This is ideal for one person only.
Cottage is available on July 15, 2025. Must have proof of income, prior rentals, or co-signer. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR AN APPLICATION AND A SHOWING.
