About this House

**Charming Victorian Shotgun Cottage | Berkeley | Available August 15**

This is not your average one-bedroom. It's a rare single-story Victorian shotgun cottage with serious character narrow, cozy, and full of charm. At about 10 feet wide with four rooms (bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bath), it's an honest small space, but what it lacks in square footage it more than makes up for in personality and outdoor living.

Hardwood floors, granite countertops, and natural light throughout. The covered outdoor area is perfect for an al fresco dining setup, and the private backyard bigger than the house itself features a hot tub, a grape-covered trellis, and plenty of room to relax and entertain outside. No shared walls with neighbors.

**This place is ideal for someone who loves outdoor living, natural light, and wants a home that feels like a home not an apartment.** Most previous tenants have been couples. If you're looking for a large one-bedroom, this isn't it but if you want something with soul, look no further.
