5740 Maccall St #A, Oakland, CA 94609

Welcome to your big sunny unfurnished 1-bedroom apartment, just half a mile from the Temescal shopping area, and the new Whole Foods Market. It's on the ground floor of a sunny, remodeled 2-story Queen Anne Cottage (with 3 apartments altogether). Available anytime between July 15-Aug 1, but no sooner. COSTS This apt has its own PG&E and water meters - so the tenant pays for these utilities. PG&E is around $50/mo in the summer, but higher in cold months when you use heat. Water/sewer is around $110/mo due to all of the flat fees EBMUD charges. Laundry is $3.75/wash and $2/dry (45 minutes). You can pay with an app so you don't need coins. The optional parking spot is $65/month if you want it. The security deposit is one month's rent. If you have cats, there's an additional $1,000 pet deposit. Absolutely no dogs. FEATURES The apt is 650 square feet -- bigger than some 2-bedroom apartments. It's in a charming 3-unit triplex that feels more like a big house than an apartment building. Features: - Raised garden bed with irrigation for your herbs & veggies - Double pane windows to keep noise out and heat in. - Private fenced yard with a pluot tree. - Two closets. - New granite kitchen counters and granite bathroom vanity - Very big kitchen - New heater - New paint - Optional offstreet parking (for $65/month) - Windows on 3 sides. In larger apartment buildings, you're lucky to get windows on two sides, and you're often looking at a neighbor's wall..... NEIGHBORHOOD It's in a safe and quiet part of Oakland, minutes from Berkeley and Rockridge. The area is very flat, so it's easy to bike around town. Most neighbors are homeowners who've been here a long time. They take good care of their homes and lawns. It's on a quiet tree lined street, not a noisy main avenue. It's not even a through street, and it's got speed bumps. The UC Berkeley campus is about 2 miles away. If you want to take a bus there, you can catch the AC transit bus one block from my house. It's also an easy bike ride (2 miles away). It's about 1 mile from the nearest BART subway stations (Ashby or Rockridge), and half a mile from Whole Foods Market and the Temescal shopping area. There are also two Farmer's Market's in walking distance. Every Tuesday from 2 - 6:30pm, you can walk to the South Berkeley Farmer's Market. And every Sunday from 10am-1pm, you can walk to the Temescal Farmer's Market. Both are VERY festive, with a variety of live musicians, music groups, and vendors selling freshly made food. By car, you'll be about 8 minutes from the Bay bridge. You get 1 off-street parking spot. There's also plenty of space for guests to park on our street, and no permit is required. You'll hear footsteps from upstairs, but no showers, flushing toilets, subwoofers or barking dogs inside the building. My other tenants were attracted to this triplex because it's peaceful here, and I'd love to keep them happy. Cats OK, but no dogs.
