Description
If you are looking for gated privacy, large sunny front and back yards, mature fruit trees, beautiful hardwood floors, peaceful and private front and back porches, old world redwood, a gated driveway for (two+ cars) off street parking, functioning brick fireplace, in-unit washer/dryer, new kitchen counter, brand new electric stove, brand new electric heat pump which provides efficient heat and air conditioning, gorgeous hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, garbage disposal, dishwasher, updated (two full) bathrooms, a claw-foot soaking tub, a private outside backyard shower, and an separate artist studio - this is a house you should see.
This is a truly unique and stand-alone home, built in 1903 that retains all of its original character.
There is a full living room, separate dining room, renovated kitchen, new bathroom, surrounded by bamboo looking out to both a front and back garden. Two or three (depending on your situation) lovely bedrooms that radiate cozy comfort and charm. The house is set back from the road, across the street from children's park and located on a cull-de-sac. There is a long driveway that leads to a private barn where there is a rustic artist studio and extra storage.
Only a three minute walk to one of Berkeley's best neighborhoods, the Elmwood District, where you can find a choice of great restaurants, excellent cafes, pizza, ice cream, Wells Fargo, the Elmwood Movie Theatre, fun shops, etc. Also, just three blocks from Whole Foods, 10 minute walk to UC Berkeley, close to BART, Berkeley Bowl, Trader Joe's, Rockridge and the Temescal Districts. Dogs and cats considered. Nice neighbors. A walker's, biker's, hiker's paradise.
If you enjoy a peaceful place to live, space to call your own, woodwork and warmth, I welcome you to view the Cottage on Colby Street.
One year lease. Tenant responsible for gas and electric.
