$3,500 / 2br - 800ft2 - Available October 16 for 3-10 months, 5 blks UC Berkeley (berkeley north / hills)

Located on a quiet street in the N. Berkeley foothills, 5 blocks from UC Berkeley, and just above the popular culinary haven known as the Gourmet Ghetto, is my charming home with many hi-end updates. Although the home is small in size, it has rooms that are light-filled and comfortable with views of the green surroundings that extend to the bay. Enjoy 2 sweet bedrooms and one renovated bathroom, hardwood floors, radiant floor heat, partial bay views and lovely light. The home is on the left side of a duplex, with a stairway up to the front door. Upon entry there are two bedrooms and a stylish renovated full bathroom. Up a second stairway is the living room, dining area and kitchen, as well as access to the back yard. The kitchen has been renovated with stone counters and a Miele Electric cooktop and Bosch oven. There is no dishwasher. A back yard patio is available for al-fresco dining. The bedrooms and living room have gorgeous bay views, and the upper levels of the backyard garden offer spectacular sweeping bay views. The upstairs floor plan is ideally set back off the downstairs bedrooms, so that the downstairs rooms and bathroom have a roof above, and the bathroom has a very large skylight. The bedrooms have large sliding glass doors which open onto a narrow balcony, with partial views of the bay. The larger bedroom is furnished with a full-sized mattress, an antique iron bed frame, an antique armoire as well as a table and chair. The smaller bedroom has a single antique wood bed-frame with mattress and a desk. The beautifully updated bathroom has gorgeous travertine marble tiles, a large skylight, a marble sink, and a custom hand wrought iron mirror and sink stand. The laundry area is in the hallway, with a Miele washer and dryer. There is off street parking for your car. I will pay for the sonic WiFi as well as the water, and you can pay for the PGE (gas and electricity) An earlier move in, prior to October 16 is also possible. I look forward to meeting you!
