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 quaint house.

This light-filled cottage is 1+ bedroom and 1 bathroom, with kitchen and living room and many upgrades.

The kitchen has wood cabinets with glass inlays and a genuine stone counter with a handful of amenities from the recent remodel: full size stove with hood, fridge, on-demand water heater, new undermount sink, tiled backspash, storage cabinets, and the convenience of a garbage disposal. It has a sweet dining bench for an eat-in table. The bathroom was completely renovated with a new vanity, tile, fixtures and bathtub.

The living room has a darling fireplace with newly tiled mantel and vintage style modern heater.

New energy efficient laundry units are installed in a closet as a convenience. The cottage floors in the living room, kitchen and bedroom are newly refinished hardwood in soft warm oak.

All of the light fixtures throughout the cottage are all new.
The cottage has DUAL-PANE windows with window treatments.

This cottage is 1 of 4 and is situated at the front of the property, adjacent to the street.

As such, it boasts its own private locked entry with its own private entry courtyard. This space is perfect for lounging, reading, gardening and is not shared by anyone else.

In addition, this cottage comes with a bonus space in the backyard. The space has been remodeled, i.e. insulated, finished walls & ceiling, new entrance door, motion sensor light, LED recessed cans and outlets. It is a clean, dry, secure space. This room serves as excellent storage. It is approx. 120sq feet.

The cottage community sits in a gated 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. The cottage has a Walk Score of 89 and earned a 93 on the Biker's Paradise index.

It is street parking only on a permitted street for the convenience of residents. Parking is not an issue.

Rent is $2800 and is payable the 1st of the month.
Tenant pays utilities (water, PG&E, any internet).
Owner pays trash and landscaping.
No smoking and no pets.

Located at Blake Street @ Martin Luther King Jr.
The cottage is available 6/8.

    "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 "
