About this property

Designer Rockridge Retreat Near UC Berkeley

Welcome to our elegant, newly renovated 2BR/3BA designer home by Gary Parsons, minutes from UC Berkeley in Oakland’s charming Rockridge neighborhood.

Set across two beautifully renovated levels, the home offers a refined balance of comfort, style, and livability for family visits, Berkeley stays, weekend trips, and longer East Bay visits. The living room features a luxury American Leather queen sofa bed, known for its exceptional comfort, with a nearby full bathroom for added flexibility and convenience.

The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a six-burner gas stove, and thoughtfully stocked for cooking, dining, and entertaining, with service for up to 10 guests. Just off the kitchen, the dining area opens to a small south-facing deck with a barbecue and fire pit, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for shared meals, morning coffee, or relaxing at the end of the day.

Abundant natural light fills both levels during the day, while sophisticated dimmable lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening. From the home, you can walk to excellent restaurants, cafés, specialty markets, bookstores, boutiques, fitness studios, and spas. One guaranteed driveway parking space is included, and nearby BART and transit make it easy to explore Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco.

Whether you’re visiting UC Berkeley, spending time with family, or looking for a stylish and comfortable home base in the East Bay, this home offers a calm, polished place to settle in and enjoy Rockridge.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I'm Edward!

I own our lovely rental home and have lived in the East Bay since 1982. I love the outdoors and am so grateful to have spent over 40 years in such a beautiful place.

I grew up in Southern California and previously worked as a commercial diver in many places around the world (Norway, Borneo, and Papua New Guinea to name a few), before moving to the East Bay. These days, I spend much of my time bike riding through the Berkeley and Oakland hills or surfing various waves around the Bay Area.

I absolutely love Rockridge and I'm sure you'll quickly appreciate why after getting a taste of all that this vibrant neighborhood has to offer!
