About this property

Berkeley Garden Cottage

This cozy, light-filled studio cottage is located in my back yard and features double french doors that open onto a lush garden filled with roses and wisteria. The main room has a queen-sized bed, a large skylight, a desk, and a closet. The mini-kitchen has a fridge + freezer, microwave, induction hot plate, and an electric kettle. The spacious bathroom has a walk in shower — I probably spent days picking out the tile!

If you like walking and the outdoors, you'll love our neighborhood! We're located two blocks from a market, cafe, butcher, pizzeria, cheese shop and sushi restaurant, an outdoor, heated city-run pool, tennis courts, and a track.

A couple of blocks in the other direction is Solano Ave, which offers an even broader range of restaurants, from Thai to Mediterranean to Himalayan and more.

If you have a car, you're just a short drive from hiking, biking and running trails in Tilden Park or miles of shoreline by the San Francisco Bay.
