Non-renewable lease for fully equipped home furnished with midcentury collectibles. All utilities paid: gas, water, trash, fiber optic WiFi, and electricity including central air conditioning. Length of lease is negotiable but preferred start date is mid-June 2022 and preferred end-date is Dec. 31, 2022. A somewhat longer lease and other terms are open for discussion but this is a rental for the owners' primary residence. You will enjoy majestic views of redwood trees from almost every room. The hillside positioning of the home offers complete privacy but a friendly neighborhood as well. The master bedroom has large windows looking out across the hills and Bay and adjoins a grand bath area where you can soak in the tub and take in the view. The second bedroom is enormous at over 200 square feet. The third bedroom is small but ideal for an office or for an older child, since it is distanced from the main living quarters. For commutes to San Francisco, this is a choice location for access to Highway 24 and the direct BART line from Rockridge Station. You can take advantage of the quaint shops and restaurants in the Berkeley Claremont neighborhood as well as the College Avenue/Rockridge bustle. This is a secluded location yet the owners use only e-bikes for daily errands and shopping -- two hefty e-bikes with carriers included in the lease if you like! Plus, walk to the wooded trails of the Claremont Canyon Conservatory or bicycle to the forested preserves of Tilden, Sibley, and Huckleberry parks. Based on your preferences, a television, computer printer, streaming speaker, etc. can be included. The kitchen features two ovens and comes with all dishes, gadgets, kitchenware and utensils. The long teak table on the outdoor deck comes with eight chairs. The indoor dining table extends for ten persons. The fireplace is gas only. This home was recently remodeled, inspected, and is in top condition, but to anticipate any circumstance the owners contracted in advance with a plumbing company for guaranteed one-day service. A reliable handy worker is at the ready for anything else. In the garage and utility room there is plenty of space and empty shelving for storage boxes. This home is an ideal solution for anyone who needs a temporary haven while they decide on a longer term homestead. Last month's rent due at signing. Includes two off-street parking spaces and a garage best suited for a single car plus storage. Tenant is asked to water two citrus trees on the deck and one resilient indoor houseplant.
