Whether you’re commuting or working from home, this location offers unparalleled convenience and the very best of East Bay living.
The Home: Meticulously Cared For
This isn't just a rental; it’s a home that has been upgraded and cherished by the owner for over 20 years.
Space to Breathe: 4 spacious, sun-drenched bedrooms and 3 full, updated bathrooms.
Chef’s Delight: A large, open-concept kitchen with premium finishes—specifically designed for those who love to cook and entertain.
Comfortable Living: An expansive living room with plenty of natural light and original architectural character.
Work & Dine: Includes a dedicated home office for deep work and a formal dining room for intentional family gatherings.
An Inclusive, Family & Pet-Friendly Environment
We are looking for tenants who share our community values and will care for this home as much as we have.
Family-Centered: Quiet, safe, child-friendly—located near top-tier schools and local parks.
Pet-Friendly: We know pets are family! Well-behaved companions are welcome (please inquire for details).
Community Values: We maintain a strictly inclusive and progressive environment. We are looking for neighbors who value diversity, kindness, and equity. This home is a space for those who align with these inclusive East Bay values; it is not a fit for those who support the Trump platform or similar ideologies.
Utilities & Flexibility
We want to make your move as seamless as possible:
All-Inclusive: All utilities (Water, PG&E, Trash) and high-speed Fiber Internet are included in the monthly rent.
EV Ready: Private EV charging is available on-site for a flat $100/month fee.
Furnishing Options: Available fully furnished, partially furnished, or unfurnished—we are happy to negotiate to fit your needs.
Move-In Ready: The house is ready for you now, or we can discuss a timeline that allows you to put your own finishing touches on the space.
Commuter’s Dream
BART: A pleasant 20-minute walk to two different stations (MacArthur and Rockridge).
Freeways: Just 5 minutes away from four major freeway on-ramps (580, 13, 24, and 880).
Walk Score: A "Walker’s Paradise"—everything you need is within a 10–15 minute stroll.
