*Please do not disturb current occupants* This beautiful mid-century modern, Japanese garden oasis is in one of Berkeley's best neighborhoods, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The entrance to your unit in the 2-unit duplex is in the back of the building off the street at the end of a long walk-way ending at your jasmine lined entryway. The front door opens up into an epic two story living room with floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking a Japanese-inspired garden. The backdoor from the living room provides indoor-outdoor living and makes it easy to enjoy your morning coffee outside in the zen garden. The open kitchen is well equipped, with windows opening up into the backyard. Upstairs are three rooms. The office (or 3rd bedroom) is a loft with windows that close for privacy and noise isolation or open to be part of the living room/kitchen area. There are also windows that open up into the backyard. The master bedroom comfortably fits a king bed and the other bedroom comfortably fits a queen and desk. The bathroom has a full size bath tub and skylight with window. Downstairs off the living room is a huge 400 square foot bonus room/storage area with washer/dryer. We've primarily used it for storage and laundry, but have it setup as an area for a guest to sleep or hang out. There is a garage that can easily fit a small car or tightly fit a Tesla Model 3/BMW 3 series. We typically just park our car in the driveway out front, but have fit a car as large as a BMW X3 in the garage. In the garage is a 240v outlet that we use to charge our Tesla. The house has access to fiber via Sonic (1 gigabit) and is a well equipped smart house. The Lutron blinds and lights are controlled by switches on the walls or can be controlled from any smart home app (Google Home, Apple Home, Alexa). There is Nest Thermostat to control the central heating. Less than a 5 minute walk to the Elmwood district on college with many shops and restaurants. Less than 1 mile to the Berkeley campus and about 1 mile to both Rockridge and Ashby BART. 12 minutes to the trans bay E bus stop, and from there, just 25 minutes to the trans bay station in San Francisco. 1 year lease with 1 month security deposit and last month rent due at signing. The owner pays for water and trash/recycling. The renter is responsible for gas, electric, and internet. No smoking allowed. No pets allowed.
