About the room

I’m looking for the right housemate to share a beautiful, freshly painted, sunny and spacious craftsman home within walking distance to drinks, food and shops on Telegraph in Temescal. There’s so much space and privacy, this is like your own 1 bedroom apartment.

You’d be sharing an entire house with only one 41-year-old lady. I’m a freelance writer working towards licensure as a therapist, and I work from home three days a week and I’m in the city two (including those evenings). I’m ideally looking for someone who mostly has steady work 9-5 outside the home. Open to shorter term lease, if needed!

I rent this house, and I pay more than two hundred more than the listed rent. I recently reduced the listed rent because while I had a number of couples and friend pairs interested, I’d rather rent to one person and pay more than half. That makes this a totally sweet deal. If you’d like a lot of your own space that’s practically like your own apartment in a really lovely house with a lot of space and a yard, this may really work for you!

Your Private Space:

  • Room with huge sleeping loft above it that has more square footage than the downstairs room and a skylight (with blackout blinds) that opens onto the roof
  • Blackout blinds and curtains in the lower room
  • Bright and sunny, with a tree outside
  • Very high ceiling
  • Walk-in closet with a window
  • Partially furnished (antique desk, lamp, rug) if desired
  • Full, shared bathroom (with heated floor) right off your bedroom and additional half bath just outside
  • Freshly painted, original craftsman woodwork, hardwood floors
  • Enough room to have live/work space and relaxation/sleep space, with the privacy of being quiet and separate from the rest of the house while sleeping

The House:

  • 1200 square feet, all hardwood floors, large living room with fireplace, dining room with built-ins and eat-in kitchen with large reclaimed farm table
  • Freshly painted throughout, custom blinds in every room
  • Bright and sunny
  • Security/fire alert system
  • Central heat
  • Very easy street parking, the easiest I’ve seen in Oakland – there are always spots. There is a garage and driveway, but the driveway angle is too steep to get a car in
  • Heated floor in full bath, which is Jack and Jill-style, between the two bedrooms
  • Additional half bath
  • Easy walking distance to restaurants (Burma Superstar, Pizza Aiolo, Bakesale Betty’s), Temescal Alley shops and cafes/bars on Telegraph
  • Recently renovated kitchen with high-end appliances
  • Chemical, harsh cleaners and perfume-free home
  • All original woodwork
  • Laundry room with washer and dryer
  • Vintage furniture throughout
  • Really sweet indoor cat in residence (unfortunately no additional pets are allowed per the lease)
  • Full garage and basement space for storage
  • Additional attic storage
  • Lovely back yard with cute landscaping (landlord pays for monthly cleanup) but with room for potted plants or gardening. Propane fire pit for warmth and strung lights for socializing.
  • ADT Security/fire system, gas and electric additional
  • Great neighborhood with great neighbors, Dover park a block away, and Ford bikes
  • Equidistant walking to Rockridge, Ashby and MacArthur Bart
