Four-bedroom Victorian cottage in a quiet garden setting. Walk to campus. In the heart of North Berkeley's "Gourmet Village" with great coffee shops and restaurants. Four private rooms in a very safe North Berkeley neighborhood, three blocks from North Shattuck coffee shops and the Cheeseboard. The cottage sits in a large garden, a private, enclosed, park-like setting with spacious patios and decks for relaxing, and for meetings and online work with superfast Sonic fiber optic WiFi. Laundry room with free washer and dryer. The house is furnished with beds and desks in each room, and with bedding and towels. The upstairs rooms are sunny. The gourmet kitchen has a six-burner restaurant range, a new microwave, a large refrigerator, and a coffee area. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and utensils. There are storage areas, including closets and shelves. Anyone with a green thumb is welcome to start a tomato patch! The owners occasionally live part-time (low residency) in a separate, detached house. Flexible lease with the option to renew.
