North Oakland House - 2 Bed, 1 Bath, Big & Beautiful Yard, 2.2 mi. to Berkeley BART

Amazing little house in North Oakland. As you consider, keep in mind that the house is “little” – 520 square feet. It is ideal for a single person, a couple, or 2 friends who can live together well in close quarters! There are 6 or so stairs to enter... , so it is not ideal for someone with mobility challenges.

$2,300/month is the "special" offer that applies if the tenant (1.) tends the yard and (2.) co-manages the property (meaning: if something breaks, I pay for the repair and the tenant meets and hosts the repairperson). If I hire a property manager or gardener, the rent is $2,600/month. If I hire both, the rent is $2,900/month. I will drive by the house occasionally to ensure that the front yard is being tended.

This was my home for many years, and I LOVED living here before moving to help with my aging parents. It is very low-maintenance (very few repairs needed over the years) EXCEPT for the yard, which has mature trees in the front (requiring continuous clean-up of leaves) and is fast-growing in the back (requiring upkeep). It is on a short, neighborly street with about 15 houses. There is 1 off-street parking spot.

If you like to garden, there are 2 beds in the back built by previous tenants, and plenty of tool, pots, etc. There is also yard furniture, a fire pit, a patio area, and a picnic table.

The photos here are from when I lived in the house. It will be empty for the new tenant (unfurnished).

I will host an open house on Saturday, May 17 and/or Sunday, May 18. If interested, please email me. I can also send a video, and you can fill out an application in advance.
