Hi, I'm Chris Rockett. My granite-clad 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom 1950 home in Boulevard Heights neighborhood is ready to rent again. This is not your typical builder-grade flipper special - I spent far more time, money, and effort improving and refreshing this place than any rational landlord would spend on a rental house because I take pride in this place and I used to live here myself 2006-11. Recent updates (2023) include a new laundry room addition, completely renovated bathroom with all new surfaces & fixtures, a Trex deck on the back of the house, and spray foam insulation under the roof. The kitchen was renovated in 2008 with custom cabinetry and a unique concrete bar. There is a sun room off the living room that could be used as a dining area or annex to the living room. Both bedrooms are 11x11' with closets that are surprisingly large for the era. There is also a coat closet, linen closet, pantry, and some storage in the laundry room and utility closet. Stacked washer/dryer unit included. Large front and back yards with a garden planter and mature blueberry bushes. Long driveway can fit four cars in-line and there is a pull-out to park side by side. Walking distance to Grant Park and the BeltLine and a new mixed-use development is to be built on Avondale Ave. Cats are allowed, dogs are not. Lawn maintenance and monthly interior cleaning (mandatory) are included in the rent. I live in Chamblee and will respond personally and promptly to any maintenance issues. A two-year lease is required initially because I am interested in long-term tenants. You are renting from me personally, a decent and fair human being, not some soulless corporate management company. I have not raised rent significantly for tenants in the past - I want to reward those who stay long-term. DO NOT send me the one-button canned message from Zillow that says "I am interested in this house and would like to schedule a tour." Fill out a renter's profile on Zillow and tell me about yourself: how many people will live with you, rental history, why you're moving from your current place, when you need to move in, employment, pets, etc. I need to know that you will be a tenant who is going to take care of the house, pay the rent on time, be honest with me, and stay for a few years. Note: instead of a security deposit, we will use a lease guaranty, an insurance policy with a one-time premium paid by the tenant. It will be nonrefundable because it's an insurance premium, but it should be considerably less money up front than a large security deposit and I would consider allowing it to be paid in two installments instead of all up front. TWO-YEAR LEASE required initially, which can be renewed yearly thereafter (sorry, Zillow didn't offer the selection for 2 years under the lease duration menu). Occupancy for one or two people, but only one lease-holder and NO SUBLETTING without prior approval. Pets allowed: one or two cats. Apologies, Section 8 vouchers are not accepted.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
