Due to unfortunate problems in the past this is a non-smoking property. This means NO SMOKING on the entire premises (including yard), NO EXCEPTIONS. This is not a "pet friendly" property as Zillow/Trulia/HotPads lists. These sites require that you check off something. ** We may consider allowing a mellow pet, but any decision about allowing a pet will be on a case by case basis only. If allowed, an additional pet deposit/fee will be required. -Home was heavily renovated in 2014. House has an unfinished basement with washer/dryer, a freestanding shower, sink, vanity & mirror (not counted as a second bathroom), and plenty of additional open storage space . There is a detached 1-car garage available for vehicle use during late fall, winter and early spring spring months (negotiable, discuss w/landlord). Garage is available for storage/workshop use entire duration of lease. The driveway along side of home will accommodate two vehicles parked tandem and there is an off-street parking spot in front of the home as well. There is a spacious backyard. Three window air conditioning units are provided during warm months. Most photos were taken in 2014 during and after the renovation. -We are not a real estate management company. We do not charge for application processing. Applications will be provided during showings. An application with employment, income verification and references will be required of each adult over 18 living who will be living in home regardless of employment status. Lease term ending May 31, 2019. Rent is $1075/mo.
