About this property
1-BR Hill-Top Retreat Entire Flat Nr UC Berkeley in Premium Woodsy Area
Hill-top retreat with great views near outstanding parks and trails, easy drive to UC Berkeley and transportation. Spacious, private, charming 1 bdrm flat in the premium Montclair/Oakland Hills area nr Berkeley border with fireplace, parking, private deck & laundry. Ideal for business/academic travelers, relo's, remodelers, and extended family visits. Min stay is 31 days. I accept only 1 or 2 reservations at a time with extended check-out usually available, even if it doesn't show on the calendar. Supplemental occupancy agreement is required.
Family Friendly: Crib, high chair, inflatable toddler tub and toddler gear available.
Business Friendly: includes a 1G fiber optic WIFI, back-up power, spacious desk, additional work-area and printer.
Pet Friendly: Dogs are permitted in most cases. A separate cleaning ,refundable deposit and damage agreement are required.
Apartment is approximately 900 sq. ft., consisting of the entire lower flat in duplex, with a separate entrance, full kitchen, full bathroom, living/dining room with working fireplace, one bedroom, separate laundry room, dedicated off-street parking for 2 cars, and exclusive use of large private deck with fabulous canyon and filtered SF Bay views. Big 6-person outdoor dining table and BBQ and 2 Roku TVs with several premium channels and Bluetooth speaker.
Neighborhood is very quiet, scenic, woodsy, and family oriented. Location is a few blocks from miles of beautiful trails in the East Bay Parks network with easy access to popular cycling roads along the ridge line. About half-mile to shops and transportation in Montclair Village. Easy drive to UC Berkeley.
Tastefully furnished in comfy wine-country style. Modern kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including gas stove. Apartment has one queen bed with pillow top mattress in spacious bedroom. Current furnishings are different but similar to those in photos. Upstairs residents are quiet, semi-retired professionals .
SF Bay breezes keep the climate cool. Air conditioning is not common in this area, and not needed even during heat waves because the apartment is built into hillside, which keeps the apartment cool.
Residence is close to Rockridge BART station (including SFO airport line), trans-bay bus line to SF, and SF carpool sites; however, area is not walk-able; car is required to get to shops and public transportation due to hillside location..
Smoking tobacco - not pot - is permitted OUTSIDE ONLY (upstairs occupant occasionally smokes outside). Quiet time between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am.
