Fully furnished, lovely 730 sq. ft. Elmwood garden cottage, all utilities included, ideal location

Fully furnished, lovely and spacious Berkeley (Elmwood) one-bedroom apartment in garden cottage behind detached main house and locking gate on quiet, safe street. Easy walk or bike to UC Berkeley, quick walk to Rockridge BART or transbay bus to San... Francisco.

Size: Approx. 730 sq. ft., including the dedicated laundry room. A covered area is available for a bicycle. The space is large enough to entertain some dinner guests comfortably, or have a weekend guest from out of town, and cozy and private enough to feel truly at home.

Highlights: Bamboo flooring throughout, well-appointed kitchen, excellent lighting, two large closets, several windows with serene garden views, on-site laundry. Gas, electricity, water, trash, and high-speed Wi-Fi service included. Very well maintained.

Bedroom and Office: Comfortable queen bed (with all bedding), locking bedroom door, large closet, nice garden views, large desk, bookcase.
Living Room: pull-out couchbed (best for one adult), several comfortable chairs, moveable TV and stand, large closet, bookshelves.

Kitchen and Dining: The kitchen has a full set of cookware and dishes/glasses/cutlery, several convenient appliances, ample storage, private garden views, and a foldable dining room table that can expand for four people.

Smoke-Free, Allergy-Free: No smoking, vaping, or pets. NONE.

Nice Neighbors: Friendly, courteous, respectful couple (long-time owner) lives in a separate craftsman house on the property. A UC Berkeley post-doc couple lives in the upstairs portion of this duplex cottage. We share bicycle storage, recycling/trash take-out duties, take in each other's mail when out of town, swap new restaurant recommendations, and offer general neighborliness.

Great Location: On a quiet, safe, beautiful Elmwood street, one block off College Avenue in Berkeley. Walking time: UC Berkeley, 20 min; Rockridge BART, 10 min; transbay bus, 5 min; coffee/bakeries/restaurants/markets, 3 min. With just about everything you might need within walking distance (including mind-clearing hikes along trails in the hills), perhaps there's no need for a car.

Rental Term: Available now, or any start date between now and August 1, 2025, with rental term to June 30, 2026 or beyond. $2800 per month, with all utilities (typically $150/month, if charged separately) included.
