Utilities included COTTAGE (2 bedrm/1bath) with lovely back yard close to BART and buses. Apartments

Classic Berkeley back yard cottage with 2 carpeted bedrooms, each connected to the bathroom, that has a tiled stall shower with skylight. Living room/dining/kitchen area is open, with cathedral ceiling that makes it feel more roomy.

“Seagrass" vinyl... flooring in kitchen with classic Wedgewood stove, full-sized fridge, a large farm sink, and garbage disposal. Landlord is looking into whether a portable dishwasher can be hooked up. Back bedroom looks out to the lovely back yard/garden, and has a full door that opens down 3 steps to the yard. Both bedrooms have doors to the kitchen and bathroom.

Gated 6'x7' porch upon entry allows air & light into the open front door while remaining safe from anyone entering. There is a large locked deck box for added storage, that can also be used as a table with the provided patio chairs. (See pic.)

One indoor-only cat allowed. No dogs.

This is a sweet home of your own, rather than a shared dorm room, or apartment with neighbors above and below you.

There is a cemented steel rack in the enclosed back yard for locked bicycle storage, and no other storage outside of the cottage.

Friendly, responsible landlord lives in house attached to cottage, so is readily available, with easy communication. Garbage/Compost/Recycle, Sewer, Water, Gas & Electric are paid for by the landlord (we have solar panels!).

Tenant pays for own wifi. (Sonic wires are already there.) Background check and references required through Intellirent. 5 min walk to North Berkeley BART, and close to San Pablo or University Ave. buses, and lots of great cafes, restaurants and stores along San Pablo, University, Gilman, and Fourth Street. Many past tenants have cycled to UC Berkeley classes.
