About this property
Just blocks from UC, Simons, MSRI, Haas and Goldman Schools with great Bay views
One bedroom apartment in a historic 1924 home situated in the beautiful Berkeley hills. This flat is newly renovated and includes a full kitchen, completely equipped with granite counter tops, microwave, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedroom has Bay views, with a queen-size bed. The living room/dining room has stunning views of the bay, a large deck, television and gas fireplace. New wood floors were recently installed. Includes washer/dryer. A sofa bed in the living room accommodates additional guests. It is also possible to open up an additional bedroom for occasional visitors. Cable, WiFi and all utilities included. One bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen and for the exclusive use of the guests. It was remodeled just this winter. New wood floors were also laid this winter.
Apartment is a 15 minute walk to Berkeley's gourmet ghetto (home to Chez Panisse, The Cheese Board and excellent shopping), 5 blocks from University of California and the Theological Seminary and a 25 minute walk from Downtown Berkeley. 2 blocks from a bus to downtown BART. Additional amenities include a beautiful garden with Meyer lemons, figs, persimmons, roses.... Really an idyllic haven, easy on-street parking and access to an adjacent 2nd bedroom and bath as needed.

About the area
Berkeley
Located in Berkeley Hills, a neighbourhood in Berkeley, this apartment is near theme parks. Pier 39 and Ferry Building are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island. Looking to enjoy an event or a game? See what's going on at Oracle Park or Oakland Arena. Kayaking and rafting offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and hiking nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager
We have lived in Berkeley for twenty four years. Greg works for a social service agency in San Francisco and Susie works in the arts in Berkeley. Greg's mom recently moved out here to live with us and our son and college friend live with us in the house as well. So while the rental unit is very private, it is surrounded by a very friendly, three generation family. There is always someone around who can provide advice about things to see and do, directions to destinations, or thoughts about favorite restaurants and theaters.
Why they chose this property
We love this part of Berkeley. It is close to coffee shops, great food and all the amenities of the City. San Francisco, wine country, the Sierras and the Coast are all within easy reach. We are near all the cultural amenities that make the Bay Area such a treat and yet the house is a quiet, retreat with its own garden, redwood grove and magnificent views of Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Cal Berkeley and San Francisco.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is located in one of the most distinguished historic districts in Berkeley. The house, designed by UC Architect Warren Charles Perry, was built for Prof. Edward Tolman in 1924. It is surrounded by homes designed by revered California architect, Bernard Maybeck, and within minutes of the many walkways and paths that make strolling through the Berkeley hills so special. A twenty minute walk uphill will land you in Tilden Regional Park while a ten minute walk downhill will take you to the Berkeley Rose Garden. Another five minutes down and you are in the heart of one of Berkeley's shopping districts with excellent carry-out food as well as world renowned restaurants.
