About this House

This small jewel in the heart of Berkeley's popular Elmwood district is a one-bedroom, sunny apartment unfurnished on the upper floor of a 100-plus year old house. Flowering vines cover this house on a quiet, tree-lined street close to shopping, public transportation, and freeway access. Easy walk or bike ride to campus or Rockridge BART and just blocks from College Avenue shops, restaurants, post office, library, bank, grocery, and the only movie theater in Berkeley.

Remodeled with wood floors, tiled bath, built-in bookcase, decorative hardware, antique light fixtures, and its own private entrance and private balcony. The apartment has been freshly painted and the floors have been refinished. The balcony has garden and city views and its own water supply for plants. The kitchen has granite tiled countertops, wood and glass-fronted cabinets, gas stove, dishwasher, and disposal. The tiled bathroom includes both tub and shower.

There is a wall heater for heat and portable A/C for cooling, plus a ceiling fan in the bedroom. A walk-in closet is in the hallway. The apartment itself is 530 square feet. The addition of your basement laundry/storage area (secure storage) with your own free washer & dryer, brings the square footage to 665 square feet.

In addition to this beautiful apartment, you can also enjoy its organic garden where something is always flowering. The ornamental fruit tree is just coming into bloom now, and there are giant camellia bushes, clematis and trumpet vines, and a scented rose garden. Imagine walking down your shaded pathway on a hot summer day surrounded by the scent of roses. Pick Meyer lemons for pies or rosemary for dinner. Clean-up gardener comes once a month and a second gardener keeps everything blooming.

Minimum one-year lease. Owner pays for water & garbage and garden upkeep. Renter pays for all other utilities, internet etc. and must transfer PGE into their name by the first day of move-in. First month's rent (can be prorated) and security deposit must be paid at lease signing. All references will be checked.
