Summer sublet from now until July 1st, $850/month.
6456 Irwin Court, Oakland: 1 bedroom in a 2 bed 1 bath house shared with a UC Berkeley graduate student (me). Washer, dryer, dishwasher, stove, and floor furnace heating. Located at the end of a neighborly cul-de-sac in North Oakland. $850 per month from now until July 1st. Must be able to pass a credit check, pay the full rent up front, and provide a security deposit of $1250. No tobacco smokers.
House: Fully furnished 11'7" x 11'3" bedroom with a 50"x28" closet, two West facing windows, and a direct door to the bathroom. In addition to the bedroom, there is a shared living room with a couch, TV, and board game table. There is a combined kitchen and dining room with a dishwasher, large microwave/broiler/air fryer, gas stove, full size fridge and freezer, pressure cooker, and most other cooking implements. There is a covered area with a washer and dryer just outside the back door. There is a backyard with a garden that is shared with one other tenant from another house. There are two chickens in a coop in the backyard that lay 10 eggs per week during warm months. There is usually street parking, but occasionally it is necessary to park on one of the nearby streets such as Raymond. There is a level 2 electric vehicle charger on the side of the house and a secure bike rack on the front porch where you can store one bike.
Utilities: All utilities are included in the rent. If the electric vehicle charger is used, the person using it will track and pay for the electricity that they use so that that cost is not shared.
Location: 0.5 miles from Whole Foods, 0.6 miles from Safeway, 0.9 miles from Trader Joes, 0.9 miles from Ashby BART, and 1.4 miles from UCB campus. There are many restaurants within walking distance.
Safety: There are security cameras and an alarm system. I have not suffered package theft in the several years since I installed the cameras, and only once in the many years before. The location at the end of a cul-de-sac makes the house safer than the surrounding areas.
Me: I'm in my early thirties and I'm in my first year of a PhD in entomology at UC Berkeley. I don't have a set schedule, but my time is split roughly 75%/25% between work from home and lab/class. I don't drink or use substances. In addition to entomology, my hobbies are board games and DIY/crafting. I have a laser cutter, 3D printer, and a large collection of tools that I am willing to share. I like to host board game nights every other month or so.
