Introduction
Micasa is a two-unit Craftsman style redwood bungalow, situated on a spacious corner lot, on a quiet residential street in North Berkeley. Built in 1905 the house sits above the street on its own hill, giving it both a sense of seclusion and a lovely view. It is located within five blocks of Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto, boutiques, bookstore and bus stops. At equally close range are a public swimming pool, track and library, and a farmer's market on Thursday afternoons. Also within walking distance are Cal Berkeley campus, the downtown theater district and BART trains.
The House
This spacious one-bedroom unit has a full bath and a kitchen with gas stove and microwave. The kitchen opens onto a private deck with morning until mid-afternoon light. The bedroom has a queen-size bed, and there is a very comfortable sofa bed in the living room. Large, light and serene, the living room/dining room looks east to the hills and west with a sunset view. The house has a fireplace and antiques and light fixtures throughout. There is ample space for entertaining and comfort, and all windows look out onto gardens, greenery, and trees.
The Studio
The one-bedroom studio, with a day bed that opens to a larger than queen-size, has a small bathroom with shower, and full kitchen with gas stove. Also furnished with antiques, the studio opens out onto western facing patio, deck, and garden.
Micasa speaks of quintessential Old Berkeley charm,
and we have paid attention, with an eye towards comfort, to details
such as excellent mattresses and linens. While the house is old,
household appliances are not - including phone, cable, washer/dryer and DSL hook-ups.
