Light-filled furnished 1BR with character, full amenities, and outdoor space

Wonderfully light-filled 1 bedroom **fully furnished** apartment on a quiet street in North Berkeley. The apartment was the home of a poet and musician and it feels like a writer's retreat with french doors to a private patio overlooking the flower... filled garden.

Newly constructed in 2017, the apartment looks out onto verdant outdoor space. It is thoughtfully appointed, with a fully stocked kitchen, and a spacious workspace in the oversized bedroom with desk and printer. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed (new mattress and bedding in 2025), a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with low barrier shower. The large open kitchen and living room is fully stocked for cooking, including sharp knives and spices. There is comfortable seating for meals and evenings of games (Scrabble!) or watching TV or DVDs, with high-quality bluetooth speakers, and a piano. Internet is high speed fiber. Energy efficient heat pump for heating and AC. Warm, comfortable, personal, spacious, and private.

We live on the property and have a sweet social dog who may ask for a treat or a belly scratch in the shared yard. Enjoy the garden with hummingbirds, lemons, plums, and new apple and fig trees.

Street parking is easy and unrestricted in our safe neighborhood. Easy bike/bus commute to UC Berkeley, walk to North Berkeley BART, several local bus lines, and direct commuter buses to San Francisco. We are close to everything including the lovely North Berkeley public library, three shopping districts, and public transportation. Our neighbors are friendly.

Walk score: 85. Bike score: 89.
