**Charming Victorian Shotgun Cottage | Berkeley | Available August 15** This is not your average one-bedroom. It's a rare single-story Victorian shotgun cottage with serious character narrow, cozy, and full of charm. At about 10 feet wide with four rooms (bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bath), it's an honest small space, but what it lacks in square footage it more than makes up for in personality and outdoor living. Hardwood floors, granite countertops, and natural light throughout. The covered outdoor area is perfect for an al fresco dining setup, and the private backyard bigger than the house itself features a hot tub, a grape-covered trellis, and plenty of room to relax and entertain outside. No shared walls with neighbors. **This place is ideal for someone who loves outdoor living, natural light, and wants a home that feels like a home not an apartment.** Most previous tenants have been couples. If you're looking for a large one-bedroom, this isn't it but if you want something with soul, look no further. **The Details** - Bedroom: ~10x10 - Living Room: ~10x10 - Kitchen: ~10x10 - Hardwood floors & granite countertops - Private hot tub - Covered outdoor dining area - Grape trellis in yard - Stackable washer/dryer in unit - Private yard larger than the house - No shared walls **Financials** - Rent: $2,599/month - Deposit: $2,599 - Utilities: $200/month utility fee (paid to landlord) - Lease: Yearly, renewing every July 31st -- **Why You'll Love It** - Private hot tub - Victorian character and charm - ~10-minute walk to North Berkeley BART - Near major bus lines (51, 72, SF commuter) - Steps from Strawberry Creek Park (cafe, yoga studio, creek & more) - Stackable washer/dryer in unit - Private yard that's bigger than the house **The Neighborhood** *Parks* - Strawberry Creek Park creek, playground, basketball, soccer & volleyball courts (steps away) *Cafes & Coffee* - The Hidden Cafe charming cafe at Strawberry Creek Park - Heyma Yemeni Coffee University Ave - Belmo Cafe Algerian bakery-cafe with exceptional pastries on University Ave *Restaurants* - La Mission beloved Mexican spot on University Ave (4.5 , nearly 2,000 reviews) - Noor Indian Fusion Kitchen highly rated Indian fusion on University Ave (4.6 ) - La Marcha Tapas Bar Spanish tapas on San Pablo Ave (4.4 ) - Tipsy Yeti Nepali restaurant & bar on San Pablo Ave (4.8 ) - Heads and Tails Barbecue BBQ & sports bar on San Pablo Ave (4.1 ) *Bars* - Acme Bar & Company whiskey bar & lounge on San Pablo Ave (4.4 ) - Missouri Lounge & Cafe laid-back neighborhood bar with patio on San Pablo Ave (4.4 ) *Groceries* - Mi Tierra Foods Latin grocery with fresh produce & hot food on San Pablo Ave - Middle East Market Persian grocery & restaurant on San Pablo Ave (4.7 ) - Whole Foods Market ~1 mile away on Gilman St *Transit* - North Berkeley BART ~10-minute walk - Major bus lines nearby: 51, 72, SF commuter *Fitness & Wellness* - Berkeley Yoga Center yoga studio on Bonar St (essentially next door) - The Green Yogi highly rated yoga studio on MLK Way (4.9 ) Cozy, Small, Private, No shared Walls, Yard, Gardening, Hot Tub, leases renew every july 31
