Unfurnished. Located in Port Townsend's Uptown neighborhood on Blaine Street, this unfurnished vintage 1870s two-bedroom, one-bath cottage is available for long-term occupancy. One of PT's original homes, the updated cottage has a beautiful private front patio area and is tucked away behind trees and hedges on three sides. Surrounded by trees, flowers and plants, the cottage's surroundings are very private and garden-like and within walking distance of the Uptown's historic business district, Fort Worden State Park, Chetzemoka Park and, via the Terrace Steps to Port Townsend's waterfront, the ferry and all of downtown Port Townsend's restaurants, shops, bars and theaters. Available to show after October 1st. Phone interview required prior a showing. No application will be accepted without the applicant first touring through the cottage and meeting me. The cottage has hardwood floors with a semi-enclosed sunroom off the living room. The master bedroom has a small office/library space with a wall of windows. The kitchen is large. The laundry room is equipped with full-size front-loading washer/dryer. New insulated windows. A Fujitsu mini-split heat pump/AC to keep the house warm and dry in the winter (as well as cool in the summer). Bathroom with tub/shower. This cottage is part of a compound consisting of two other small dwellings across two lots. Each dwelling is private and secluded and each, as part of the compound, tenants are responsible for maintaining a quiet and tranquil environment. Move-in and living here is simple and cost effective. All utilities are on, including Internet access, and your share is allocated monthly. No need to start or sign up for utilities; it's already done. For a single person and depending on use, average all-in monthly utility costs in the winter is usually under $300 and in the summer, under $150. The property is non-smoking, cannabis included. A small indoors dog or cat may be permitted at my discretion with an additional pet fee, but no pets is the strong preference. The move-in costs would be first & last month and security deposit. Before any rental agreement, a tenant screening report is required including background check and credit report. Results must be excellent unless extenuating circumstances disclosed prior to application. Proof of covid vaccination required. Finally, this house is not a vacation or a short-term rental; it is a private home in an established PT neighborhood. As such, it is ideal for a person seeking a long-term home. If interested, please send a message with an introduction, your current financial/employment situation, why and from where you're relocating to PT and any other details you think would be helpful to me. Again, please note that before an application you will need to tour the house and meet me in person. Month-to-month rental agreement with the intention of long term occupancy. A complete background check, credit screen and proof of income/financial capability is required with the execution of the rental agreement contingent on acceptable results.
