    What's special

    Your very own little house with no shared walls. Cottage is in a beautiful shared garden, but has its own completely private deck. Cozy with a very functional layout if shared- bedrooms at each end with living room, kitchen and bathroom in between. Ideal space for 1 person (or a couple) who want an extra office or guest room. Kaiser employees would have the shortest commute ever! Walk around the corner to all the shops of Piedmont Ave and only one mile from Rockridge and Grand Lake districts. Easy access to Freeway, walk to Bart. Close to Emeryville, downtown Oakland, and UC Berkeley. -Stand-alone (your own little house, lots of privacy) -2 Bedrooms -1 Bath with tub and high ceiling -New Stove and counter top- see picts -Hardwood floors throughout. Resurfaced one year ago. Some picts are old, I'll update them ASAP -Private deck -Lots of windows & skylight--lots of natural light -Plenty of room for gardening. Owner pays a gardener to come do the basic maintenance, but you can make it your own. Lots of sun for vegetables. - Washer and Dryer hookups- there is a stackable washer dryer in there that works well and you may use them, but it is "as is." Owner does not maintain or warranty it, and will remove it so that you can use your own machines if you prefer. First/Last/Deposit -- Last month can be made in payments over 6 months if needed. Cat considered, due to just resurfaced hardwood floors we are not allowing dogs Credit check $20 MUST have good credit history and verifiable income Street parking Approx 700 sq ft Rent $2600 1 year lease No smoking
