Description

Welcome to a rare Davis rental opportunity designed for people seeking more than just a place to stay. This is a quiet, elevated, fully furnished home environment created to feel welcoming, comfortable, functional, and genuinely enjoyable to live in. Located near UC Davis, the home is ideal for visiting professionals, graduate students, researchers, medical professionals, remote workers, or sabbatical stays looking for a calm and respectful living environment with flexibility and character. The arrangement is intentionally unique. The owner travels frequently between Davis and Truckee for university and professional commitments and is only onsite a few nights per month, creating a peaceful, low-traffic home atmosphere. The current arrangement includes: • Spacious primary suite • Second bedroom that can function as a guest room, office, or work-from-home space • Fully furnished home • Utilities included • Flexible arrangements depending on needs and length of stay What makes this home special is the environment we intentionally tried to create — inspired by the types of welcoming, thoughtful homes we ourselves appreciate while traveling or on sabbatical. Outdoor features include: • Mature fruit trees • Raised planter boxes • BBQ area • Large covered verandas perfect for hot Davis summer days • Relaxed backyard oasis atmosphere • Pirate ship playground for those seeking a kid-friendly home A green thumb is highly valued. We have planter boxes and garden space ready for some love. Landscaping is professionally maintained, but anyone who enjoys gardening is welcome to make the outdoor space their own. The home is best suited for someone who values cleanliness, communication, and shared respect for the environment. We take pride in maintaining a clean, calm, and welcoming space and are looking for someone who appreciates living in a well-cared-for home. Additional details: • Quiet neighborhood near UC Davis • Large driveway with ample parking • Garage reserved for owner storage/use • Shared mailbox (occasional collection appreciated) • VW Jetta and bikes may be available depending on arrangement This is not a typical rental setup — it is intentionally designed for someone looking for an elevated home environment with flexibility, privacy, and warmth.
