We are putting the finishing touches on this new, bright, open and charming backyard cottage (ADU) available May 15th. The cottage offers modern amenities and was designed with a nod to the period architecture in the neighborhood. It's located on quaint Salmon Street, an inner-SE bike corridor, 3-blocks north of hip Hawthorne and 3-blocks south of trendy Belmont.

Enjoy a stainless steel kitchen and your own full-sized washer/dryer set; and natural gas amenities such as stove/oven, fireplace, and instant hot-water heater. Each bedroom has individually controlled air-conditioning and heating mini-split units for maximum comfort.

Stained concrete floors extend throughout the main level; the staircase and upper level floors are solid red oak; and the tiled floor in the full bathroom has thermostatically programmed radiant floor heat. The owners restored all nine vintage fir doors in the cottage. The entire cottage has solid clear vertical grain fir trim that matches the new energy-efficient windows. The 16 windows, including a skylight, are situated to encourage natural light throughout this private space. And when the sun goes down, enjoy the ambiance provided by an array of updated vintage light fixtures.

The bathrooms both have dual-flush toilets. The full bathroom has an oversized shower with an automatic humidity-detecting fan.

The cottage was designed with loads of internal storage options including well-lit oversized closets in the bedrooms, a linen cupboard, 3 built-in storage cabinets in the full bathroom, a finished attic cubby for seasonal storage, a coat closet under the stairs, and a pantry with floor-to-ceiling movable shelving.

Included in the rent is water/sewer/garbage. Resident will pay for their own electricity, gas, and internet.
