Looking for a fabulous, private one-bedroom in-law unit with all the perks of a warm neighborhood home? Our in-law is in a stately old home on its own separate floor, with a private entrance. It's a roomy, peaceful space on a quiet street in Piedmont. The in-law unit offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Step through French doors into a private outdoor balcony and huge garden (technically a shared garden, but mostly yours in practice) featuring wisteria, roses, persimmon and lemon trees, a brick patio, a vibrant garden, a garden bench and a mosaic table —the perfect setting for unwinding under the stars. Or visit us in the upstairs house, to connect with your warm community-minded friends. Your private space includes a: - 22.5-feet-long great room - Recently installed full kitchen - Huge bedroom and California closet - Large living and dining area - Ambience and quiet - perfect for working from home - Beautiful southern, western, and eastern-facing windows, private entrance, and French doors to the backyard - Oak floors with inlaid walnut detail - 8-minute walk to Piedmont Avenue and close to College Avenue and Grand/Lakeshore Avenue shops in Oakland - 880 square feet -Shared laundry on premises -Available semi-furnished or unfurnished Our Piedmont home is in a neighborhood that’s extraordinarily beautiful and surrounded by large trees. Piedmont has about 11,000 residents within 1.7 square miles. It’s close to highways, near downtown Oakland and San Francisco to the west, and Concord and Walnut Creek to the east. There are five city parks and numerous landscaped areas with wooded paths, tennis courts, children's playgrounds, and picnic facilities. Richard and I are 73 and 65. Richard is a calm, gentle and kind presence, and I hear that I’m a good listener, emotionally intelligent, and capable. I’m involved in both social justice and personal growth. We have a cat named Abby. - The in-law is a flight down from the street and a half-flight above the garden. -Parking is easily available on the street opposite from the house.
