About this property
La Casa De Madera- "The wood house"
"La Casa De Madera" Near the El-Ceritto boarder is a custom handcrafted tiny/small house that is unique and one of a kind. Designed and built by Conscious Construction this house was built largely from reclaimed, re-purposed, and custom milled wood. Occupying a wonderful small piece of land where an eighty year old carriage house once stood. The original redwood siding from the carriage house was re-purposed and now clads some of the interior walls of the house giving a feel and texture you rarely see. The new house has magnificent San Francisco Bay views. Designed to capture the views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful sunsets overlooking brooks island and the expansive bay views. It was also designed to provide privacy with all the comforts of a home. From the easily accessible sleeping loft you can enjoy wonderful southern views with a glimpse of both the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. The kitchen has a two burner gas stove with a beautiful live edge counter top empathizing the organic feel of the space. Custom tiled shower and Alaskan yellow cedar clad the bathroom walls.
While in the living space you can sit in the love- seat (which doubles as a sofa bed), and enjoy the flat screen TV and full Wi-Fi access. There is also a mini gas fire place heater to enjoy on cold San Francisco bay nights.
Although unique and custom, this house is very practical and efficient. It's perfect for people visiting the area for a short or extended stay, as it is a self-sufficient house with all the comforts of home. It's minutes form the freeway access, with only a short drive to Berkeley, Oakland, Marin, and San Francisco. The house is a 12 minute walk to the El-Cerrito Natural Grocery which is a community gathering spot, and
20 minute walk to Bart. In 8 minutes you can drive to the new ferry terminal in Richmond and be in San Francisco in no time! Meeting all your bay area needs the "Casa De Madera", is a must!
We ask only the most responsible and serious guests inquire. This house was designed and crafted with a lot of care and love. We only want guests who can appreciate and respect the space. Absolutely no parties are allowed.
RULES:
. Respect the parking location
. Respect the neighbors
. Respect the home owner
. Respect recycling rules
. Most important respect the house!

About the host
Hosted by Milkah Cunningham
Hello and welcome!
My name is Milkah and my nickname is Shiko! I grew up in Kenya. I have been in the USA for over half my life. I have two great kids. I work for the University of California and my work experience has nurtured my passion for Real Estate. I love traveling, hiking, watching sports, watching movies and spending time with my family and friends.
I have been friends with Jeff (the property owner) for years and he thought I would be a great fit to manage this fantastic property since I have a Property Management Certification and I enjoy interacting with people. Jeff and his two kids occupy the principle home on the property which was recently built.
I love meeting people from different parts of the world and I look forward to connecting with you as a host. I am excited to be a part of this community and I will do my best to make your stay as comfortable as possible!
