*dates flexible (I'm looking to sublet for the full four months, but am open to a subletter looking from September to October or longer)

I am looking for the right person to sublet my cozy, sun-drenched, plant-filled sanctuary in the beloved Elmwood neighborhood. This spot is perfect for a personal retreat, a temporary landing pad, or a quiet creative escape.

This ground-floor, two-bedroom unit is part of a peaceful duplex with its own private entrance and a sweet little front patio complete with chairs for morning tea or evening unwinding. Inside, you’ll find:

•A bright sunroom-turned-office with floor-to-ceiling windows—ideal for working, journaling, or simply soaking in the light.

•A cozy living room with curated furnishings and a warm, lived-in feel.

•A fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and nourish.

•A separate bedroom

The location is within walking distance of the essentials:
You’re just a 5–10 minute walk to Whole Foods, College Avenue shops, cafes, bookstores, yoga studios, and more. It’s a walkable, quiet neighborhood with tree-lined streets and that quintessential Berkeley charm.

Street parking is available with a permit, and the landlords live in the front house. You will likely cross paths from time to time, so I’m looking for someone grounded, responsible, and respectful who will treat the space with care while I’m away.

If you’re looking for a calm, welcoming nest in the Bay Area, this is truly a gem.

Please reach out and I’d love to schedule a time with you to see if you’re the right fit for this spot.
