5531 Kales Avenue Located in the heart of one of the most desirable sections of Rockridge, 5531 Kales is a 3+ bedroom1914 craftsman style home that is four blocks from the Rockridge Bart Station and block above College Avenue. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood with very friendly neighbors. The house is approximately 2500 sq. feet, not including the large basement which has a separate finished space that has been used as both an au pair unit and an office in the past. There also is a laundry area with a washer and dryer in the basement. The house has 3 large bedrooms on the second floor, each with a small office/study and walk-in closet, plus 2 full-baths, one upstairs and one on the main floor. (The basement room is in addition to the 3 upstairs bedrooms.) The main floor consists of a living room (with a stone fireplace and custom cabinetry), separate dining room (also with built-in cabinets), which opens onto a small family room leading out to a small redwood deck. There is a large kitchen, with a gas cooktop, oven and refrigerator, and separate breakfast area (which also opens onto the deck through French doors). A few steps lead down from the deck to a large, newly-configured patio area suitable for outdoor dining, entertaining or hanging-out. New plantings have recently been installed in the yard. There are hardwood floors throughout the house which have just been refinished. I also have updated the electrical systems and have repainted or refurbished the paint throughout and added new light fixtures in many of the rooms. I raised my own family in this house but have rented it out for approximately the past 20 years. During that time I have had only 4 families as tenants which I believe is a testament both to the quality of the home and to the attention that I devote to maintaining an excellent relationship with my tenants. There is off-street parking and the house is cable-ready. I provide a bi-weekly gardener and pay the fees for the home security system and for trash collection. The very last bits of refurbishing are now being completed and the home is available for immediate occupancy. No pets, no smoking. One-year lease minimum, but would consider a longer term commitment.
