2609 Dana St Apartments

OPEN HOUSE ON 8/5 FROM 4-6, COTTAGE IS LOCATED BEHIND THE CARPORT AT 2609 DANA ST, BERKELEY. Live in your own little house, with an outdoor patio sitting area, under redwood trees in the middle of Berkeley, just five blocks from the UC Berkeley campus! This is a very private railroad-style cottage (each room is entered via the previous room) nestled into the large backyard of a classic Victorian home. Set back from the street behind redwoods and an ancient olive tree, it comes with a private patio and sitting area, plus enough garden space to plant some beds with flowers, herbs, or veggies (if you so desire). Everything was new and upgraded in 2023: New tiles, countertops, and cabinets in the kitchen, tiled shower in the BA, hardwood floor in the living room and all bedrooms, new Fridge and Washer/Dryer, and fresh new paint everywhere. The airy kitchen features a gas stove and refrigerator, new fridge, plenty of new cabinets, and a new skylight. The bathroom is separated into two areas by a sliding door; the first has a sink and the laundry (washer/dryer), and the next has the toilet and shower. To the left of the kitchen is the living room and three bedrooms (of office spaces) that are small but functional. The third bedroom is at the very back of the cottage and could be used as an office or studio. There is a large picture window in the living room, many skylights looking up into redwood trees, and French doors leading outside to the patio. The patio is surrounded by vines and shaded by lovely redwoods and a fig tree, with room for grilling and eating outside and a cat or small dog to play. The pictures show the cottage (mostly) empty and highlight the various upgrades. Great location close to the UC campus, restaurants, cafes, and the Elmwood. The cottage has its own new washer and dryer (in the BA). The cottage includes one off-street parking spot in the shared driveway. Bicycle parking behind the cottage in a safe and roofed place. The three UC Berkeley students who lived here have graduated this summer and moved on for their new jobs. The cottage is available by August 4. The cottage is located at 2609 Dana Street (between Parker and Carleton). Walk up the driveway (on the right of the house) to the carport; the cottage is the building on the right. It is fine to drive by but please do not disturb the current tenants.
