About this House

the location speaks for itself. the property is in excellent condition, not modern, more classic chic; and looking for tenants who would take good care of it and willing to stay for at least 1-2 years.

Reach out over zillow and provide an email and number, I will text you back to set up a showing in about 10 days when the house is officially available for showing. I can send a video tour ahead of time to see if you find it a good fit.

Below is the realtor description from before we bought the house: (please note due to safety and Berkeley environmental consciousness, we ask not to use the fireplace to burn wood)

Nestled in a vibrant North Berkeley neighborhood, this is a charming split-level home dating from the early 1920s. As you enter from the front porch into the living room, the door swings closed and you immediately leave behind the hustle and bustle for peace and quiet. A fireplace is the focal point of the living room, while the hardwood floors flow directly into the dining room, featuring traditional built-in cabinetry. Beyond is the sunny kitchen with a skylight, new appliances, enchanting breakfast nook and access to the back deck and yard. Back inside, take a few steps up and you'll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom and plentiful storage. Alternatively, a few steps down will take you to the third bedroom, second bathroom, laundry closet and media room(which can be used as a 4th bedroom). The side yard features a storage shed perfect for bikes, while additional storage spaces can be found under the deck. Just blocks from renowned spots - the original Peet's Coffee, Fava, Chez Panise, Cheeseboard, the farmer's market, Live Oak Park and approximately half a mile from UC Berkeley, the house allows you to live in the middle of it all, while feeling completely serene.

newly purchased family house available for rent; the house is not furnished, the pictures are from when the house was for sale.

lovely house on Rose street. hardwood throughout. carpetted downstairs. bedrooms are all separate, 2 bedroom upstairs; and 2 bedroom downstairs(nicely converted from garages) lots of privacy. good lighting, and very convenient for shopping, uc campus. Will be ready for rental mid September.

    "I have been living at the cross of Virginia and Spruce for nearly 5 years and loved it. It's quiet, close to the university. 10 min walk from Downtown Berkeley BART, 3 movies theaters, Groceries (Safeway, Walgreens) and a lot of restaurants. Berkeley gourmet ghetto is 4 blocks away. In addition to that, you're very close to Berkeley Hills and Tilden park. Top neighborhood."
