Looking to live in community while having your own place? Join our Grand Lake redwood oasis. South-facing, light-filled, and quiet two-bedroom apartment in duplex with a beautiful shared yard featuring an old-growth redwood tree and a newly-built ADU. Centrally located in the Grand Lake neighborhood within walking distance from Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake Theater and farmers market. Apartment is spacious (1,250 square feet) and features in-unit washer / dryer, brand new dishwasher, high-end Thermador gas range and hood (not in photos), a fireplace and two walk-in closets. The kitchen has a dining nook and the master bedroom includes a cute reading nook as well. Back door opens onto a small balcony overlooking the backyard. Perfect place for a young couple who need a work-from-home office or an extra guest room. Rent is $3,400. Deposit is $3,400. Tenant responsible for all utilities (PG&E, water, waste management). Deposit + last month's rent due upon lease signing. First month's rent due upon move-in. Chill small dogs (less than 20 lbs) and/or cats considered and require pet deposit. No smoking allowed on premises. A one-car garage with an adjacent off-street parking spot is optional for an additional $250 per month. Otherwise, street parking is usually not an issue. No street cleaning. I am the landlord and I currently live in this apartment. Before the end of September, I will be moving into a newly-built detached ADU on the property. So I am looking for great tenants / neighbors who want to enjoy this little redwood oasis and contribute to making it beautiful. Think gardening, communal dinners, occasional backyard jams or house concerts. A little about me: I am an ethnomusicologist working at UC Berkeley. If interested, please email or message me with some information about yourself. Rental Application available on Zillow. I can show the apartment by appointment. Please be prepared to show proof of employment, current credit report, references from last rental, as well as personal references. Rent is $3,500. Deposit is $3,500.
