This peaceful room is in a unique, International Modern early 1950's, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home in North Berkeley. I am looking for a graduate student/post doc short-term renter for a large, very well-lit, furnished bedroom with a queen bed and... walk-in closet. The room is 12' 2" x 15'4". You have your own bathroom with lovely 50's tile, a shower and skylight. There is a washer and dryer in the house. We share common areas: kitchen, dining room, living room, and garden with a large patio. There's a BBQ. Environmental awareness expected (recycling/composting/water use). Please no heavy perfumes or colognes.

Street parking is easy in this residential neighborhood. Walking distances: under 10-minutes to Solano Ave and the Colusa Circle; three minutes to #7 bus; ten minutes to #18 bus; ten minutes to Sunday Farmer's Market; twenty minutes to El Cerrito Plaza BART. There is ROKU, Netflix, HBO Max, and some other streaming channels available. You will share this spacious home with a hard-working, creative type who loves food and cooking and often works from home. Utilities are included. Shared common-room house cleaning, however, I am open to sharing the cost of a house cleaner. This is not a WFH rental. Security deposit required.
