This beautiful cottage offers a perfect retreat from the chaos of today's world. The tastefully furnished cottage has large rooms with high ceilings and skylights, a fully equipped kitchen to make cooking and eating a pleasure, and a bathroom... designed with the feel of southern France. The 500-square-foot one-bedroom cottage is in the middle of a 50' x 200' property with multiple gardens. The open-plan living-kitchen (19 'x 13') area is connected to the bedroom (13' x13') by a hallway with closet, ample shelves, and storage cupboards. There are wood floors in the living area, tile in the kitchen and bathroom areas, and carpets in the hall and bedroom. The washer and dryer are in an outside laundry cupboard with storage shelves. At the front of the property is the main house with a front garden. Out the windows of the cottage are a rose garden and drought-tolerant native meadow grass lawn that is gorgeous year round. The back third of the property has a vegetable garden, fruit trees, including blueberry bushes, picnic table, and a hen house. Renters are welcome to pick vegetables and fruit during growing season. They can also gather and eat my three adorable hen's eggs during laying season. There is a small patio and woodland garden outside the cottage's bedroom window. A large oak and a cedar tree overlook the back garden, which is quiet, peaceful and private.
The cottage is located in Estudillo Estates, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in San Leandro. With large lots and well established vegetation, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The cottage is close to a Safeway and a complex of good restaurants and an excellent coffee house with a breakfast and lunch menu, which also serves as a community gathering place. Centrally located in the East Bay and near public trans. The San Leandro BART station is easily accessed by foot, bus or car. The 580 freeway is a five minute drive. Read More
