Two-Bedroom Cottage with Shared Yard in Northwest Berkeley / Ocean View Neighborhood - Available January 2026
Charming 2BR/1BA two-story cottage available for rent in January 2026, featuring a private patio and access to a shared hot tub. Nestled at the back of a quiet residential property, the cottage gets a lot of natural light and has an updated kitchen and bathroom, as well as beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The cottage shares a generous lot with a separate Victorian, with both homes separated by a well-loved garden. The cottage comes with free, shared on-site laundry.
The property is on a quiet residential tree-lined block in the Ocean View neighborhood and is a short walk to James Kenney Park, North Berkeley BART (.8 miles), and shopping and dining on 4th St. (.2 miles). The location is also near UC Berkeley (1.7 miles), and just minutes away from Berkeley Bowl West, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the I-580 University Ave entrance. Additionally, the property is just blocks away from the San Pablo and 6th Street AC Transit stop (approximately 20 minutes to San Francisco, Salesforce Transit Center on Line G). There's ample street parking.
The street-facing Victorian is owner occupied by a family with a large dog (75 lbs). We're looking for folks who are considerate with shared spaces (garden, laundry, hot tub), comfortable with a rescue dog, and open to the occasional get together, like a meal or garden hang out.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please reach out and tell us more about yourself! We'd love to hear:
1. A bit about who you are.
2. What attracted you to the cottage, and what are you hoping for in your next living situation?
3. How do you like to relax, socialize, and spend your free time?
Thanks!
Owners pay for water and trash. You will pay your home's PG&E as well as the fiber internet from Sonic. $3,900 refundable deposit required with first month's rent. Please note the house is not furnished. No smoking is permitted on the property. There's ample street parking.
