Privacy and community in a one-bedroom in-law! Spectacular, spacious 1 bedroom unit available for long-term rental in one of the most charming, safest areas of the East Bay, the City of Piedmont. The unit is an in-law apartment in a stately old home on its own separate floor, with a private entrance. It's a roomy, peaceful space on a quiet street overlooking a large back garden. Ideally, we're looking for tenants who want their own place but are also interested in socializing with us as their upstairs neighbors - perhaps sharing a meal once a week, taking a walk, a game or movie night.

The City has about 11,000 residents and is located in the beautiful Oakland Hills, overlooking the San Francisco Bay. It is centrally located close to highways, near downtown Oakland and San Francisco to the west, and Concord and Walnut Creek to the east. Within its' 1.7 square-mile area, there are five city parks and numerous landscaped areas which offer wooded paths, tennis courts, children's playgrounds, and picnic facilities. Richard and I are 72 and 64, have a sweet cat, and are mostly retired. Richard values kindness and is a calm, gentle presence. I've been told that I'm warm, a good listener, emotionally intelligent, and capable. I enjoy good conversation, and have been involved in both social justice and personal growth. We are looking for 1-2 people who have a sense of vitality, warmth, friends, and common interests. Utilities and one-month security deposit are an additional cost. Credit report required, income 2.5 times rent with positive previous rental history. No smoking please. There are some stairs to the entrance (about 1/2 to one flight depending on which entrance you use.) Well-behaved cats and a quiet, small dog are welcome. The move-in date is a bit flexible, sometime April 1 to May 1. Please email me (Aimee) to start the conversation going.
