Just one block from Ashby BART, this 555 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment offers a surprisingly spacious layout, excellent storage, hardwood floors, and an exceptionally convenient South Berkeley location with water, sewer, water heating and solid waste included in the rent.
The apartment opens into a generous living area with hardwood floors and a wide picture window that brings in plenty of natural light. At nearly 17 feet long, the living room provides plenty of flexibility for a comfortable living-room setup, while a separate dining area can just as easily serve as a home office or additional living space.
The kitchen opens to the main living area through a warm butcher-block-topped island, creating a nice connection between the two spaces. Charcoal-gray cabinetry and architectural framing contrast beautifully with the wood floors and butcher-block surfaces. The kitchen includes a gas range and full-size refrigerator, along with plenty of useful counter space.
The 11'8" x 11'2" bedroom is generously proportioned and features hard-surface floors, a wide window for natural light, and two separate closets a welcome amount of storage for a one-bedroom apartment.
Move-In Special: Move in by September 15th, and receive a parking fee waiver for the first lease term!
