You are looking across at an amazing panorama, and everything near you is amidst trees and greenery (ergo, OAKland!)
Do you enjoy a fireplace on cool days? The living room has a beautiful Regency gas insert in front of the sofa, operated by wall-mounted remote control.
Don’t want to climb stairs to get to your rental? The Bay Area is a hilly area, therefore some rentals require climbing many step to access the rental. But not this rental! At this rental, although your magnificent view is elevated (2nd floor), you enter the rental from the street level. To enter “Oasis”, you walk from the street-side sidewalk, along a level walkway, up one small step to a stoop, then up a small step into the front door.
This is the main house with no noise over your head. Entry is from the street. The owners live downstairs which is “basement” level. We are quiet reclusive 70-ish folk who value our autonomy and quiet just as we respect yours. But at the same time, we are friendly and helpful. We take our responsibility as your hosts very seriously and will do all we can to make sure that you’re comfortable and have what you need.
Do you enjoying sitting on a large beautiful deck with comfortable furniture and awesome view of the San Francisco skyline and the famous bridges? The redwood deck is architecturally beautiful with each end shaped into a “Romeo and Juliet” curved balcony. One balcony connects to the master bedroom and has large outdoor Pottery Barn-with-rolled-arms wicker chairs. The other end connects to the kitchen and has a tall, large metal bistro dining table with 4 bar-height cushioned chairs from which to enjoy the view. A grill is on the deck (propane provided).The balconies are connected by a straight portion where there is additional seating.
Do you like to cook at home? The kitchen is fully furnished with cookware, utensils, place settings and basic condiments. Kitchen has: Wedgewood stove, microwave, Cuisinart drip maker with re-usable filter, toaster, and blender.
Can you live without an automatic dishwasher? As an interior design choice, we kept the vintage 1949 kitchen with the beautiful gas standing pilot Wedgewood stove. Our cabinets are original and of a depth that is slightly too narrow to accommodate a dishwasher.
Do you want a full-size clothes washer and dryer -- LG large capacity washer and dryer. with laundry detergent and softener provided.
Do you like to read? A small collection of books includes travel books (lots on Northern California), novels, and books related to philosophy, political science, and art. Take a day off and go on an intellectual exploration through an eclectic collection.
Do you enjoy the intimacy of overlooking a verdant garden? The expansive back deck overlooks a lush garden replete with – to name a few of the plants – a majestic poplar tree (condo to many squirrels and birds – and those Anna Humming birds put on quite a show!), calla lilies in the winter, a robust juniper tree with juniper berries, plum trees, apple tree, fig tree, bird of paradise, spider plants .
