Welcome to the Ashby Cottage
Just built - a 700 square foot Cottage, sitting within in a beautiful peaceful garden. In the charming Elmwood neighborhood. Walk Score 98. The Cottage is only several blocks away from shops, restaurants, post office, independent book store, indie movie theater, and more. Whole Foods is a 10 minue walk, and two BART stations are within a mile each. U.C. Berkeley is an easy mile walk. Every possible amenity for a visiting nurse, scholar, or professor who wants a secure, private, quiet home for one to six months. The Cottage sits behind the owner's large elegant 1909 home. She is willing to share the entire garden and firepit when available.
This Cottage is available on the following sites:
FurnishedFinder, Cal Rentals and Sabbatical Homes.
Please search there for availability. Rentals have a minimum one month stay, with a maximum of 6 months, unless being rented for a semester. Open to negotiation.
The much sought-after neighborhood of Elmwood has a rich architectural history. Early 20th-century houses, estates, and some of the more notable homes designed by prominent turn-of-the-century Bay Area architect Julia Morgan can be found in this neighborhood.
The local shopping district centered on the intersection of College and Ashby avenues is a bustling hive of activity, featuring an array of gourmet eateries, boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. Residents of Elmwood also enjoy an easy walk to public transportation, a library, and parks. For an only-in-Elmwood, experience, visit Mrs. Dalloway's, a shop that combines a bookstore and garden supplies, or Rialto Cinemas Elmwood, a Berkeley city landmark that houses a three-screen cinema.
In terms of hyperlocal culture, Julia Morgan Theatre offers camps and classes as well as performances of music, dance, and theater throughout the year.
