Description

A fantastically charming Mediterranean inspired stand-alone cottage in a courtyard setting with only 4 total cottages on the property. This detached structure shares no walls with other cottages, it is separate and distinct and feels like your own small house. This light-filled quaint cottage is 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, with kitchen and living room and many upgrades. The kitchen has a brand new kitchen with granite counter and back splash, new kitchen faucet, full size gas stove with hood, on-demand water heater, storage cabinets, and the convenience of a garbage disposal. It has a sweet dining bench for an eat-in table. The bathroom is completely renovated: new vanity, fixtures, glass shower door and bathtub. The living room has a darling fireplace with newly tiled mantel and vintage style heater. All of the hardwood flooring is refinished hardwood in a lush espresso finish. All of the light fixtures throughout the cottage are new. The cottage is entirely outfitted with DUAL-PANE windows.
There are custom white wood blinds throughout unit. The cottage is approximately 550sq ft. This cottage has its own private fenced backyard space that is sizable and accessed directly off the kitchen. This lovely space has beautiful plantings and is perfect for lounging, reading, gardening and is not shared by anyone else. In addition, this cottage comes with an INCREDIBLE bonus room/work space, den, art room, gym, personal yoga studio, etc. lots of creative uses. This space is directly off the kitchen and connected by your own private fenced rear yard. The space has been totally remodeled, i.e. insulated, finished walls & ceiling, new 10ft 4-panel glass sliding door for tremendous light, exterior sconces, LED recessed cans and outlets, CAT5 and cable. It has brand new energy efficient laundry units installed with a row of highly functional cabinets, stone counter and the convenience of a bar-style sink. This room is fully clean, dry, secure space and serves as excellent work/bonus space. It is approx. 250sq feet and is directly across the cottage's private backyard--like an extended great room. The cottage community sits in a gated secured private setting. It is situated in a prime location, walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants of Shattuck Ave. and sandwiched between 2 Bart stations: Ashby & Downtown Berkeley stations. It is walking distance to the new Equinox Fitness club and the original Berkeley Bowl. It is street parking only on a permitted street for convenience of residents.

Available 10/1 If you have interest, please contact me for any further details--there are no open houses, only appointments. If you are requesting an appt, PLEASE provide a blurb about yourself, your situation (i.e. what you're looking for, timeframe, etc.) so I can best understand your needs for a good fit. The cottages are a unique living space and perfect for someone looking for its specific attributes. I'm happy to answer any and all questions as well. Thanks so much for your consideration. Included is a floor plan of the cottage, image shows cottage ONLY--yard + bonus room not shown. Photos show the yard + bonus room. Please note that the bonus room has multiple uses but is NOT living space--it CANNOT be used as a second bedroom. That usage would violate City of Berkeley rental laws so it cannot be considered.

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
