This is a charming, sunny 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom self-standing house (not an apartment) in North Oakland. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the spacious living room and dining room, as well as the 2 bedrooms. Kitchen has great cabinets, gas stove, dishwasher, and black granite countertops.

Backyard has a thriving lemon tree, a vegetable bed, and plenty of space for barbecuing, gardening, etc. The house has 2 floors, with all the living area being upstairs and the downstairs being all unfinished empty space that is currently being mostly used as storage by the landlord. The laundry area with a new washer & gas dryer is downstairs, with a fairly large area that can be used for storage by the tenant. There is a driveway as well as plenty of off-street parking. This is a fantastic North Oakland neighborhood on the border of Temescal, quiet yet very close to all the shopping and dining there as well as in Emeryville, plus easy access to BART and all the major freeways.

Move-in is first month's rent plus a 1-month ($3,400) deposit, and a 1-year lease. I will consider pets with an additional deposit. There is already a doggie door off of the kitchen.
