Gardeners Welcome: Tenant is expected to keep the walkway and entry courtyard of the apartment swept once a week and reasonably tidy, with respect for shared maintenance spaces and the owner's space, and parking in the designated on-street site. This is a neighborhood with low density and there is rarely a time anyone but the tenant parks in front of the house. The tenant is expected to maintain their garden area, which requires light lawn mowing for 2-3 months during the summer, light weeding and occasional watering during the hottest months. Soaker hoses are set up for most of the beds. The homeowner does most major yard maintenance and pruning. *This is a no-smoking\Vape\Drugs environment. To keep the space free of allergens for sensitive people no pets are allowed. This is a private detached cottage on the property of an artist and designer. Ideal for a single person or couple with a minimalist lifestyle. The apartment opens onto a south-facing garden with the option of having your own flower and vegetable garden in raised beds. The yard is semi-private, with some shared visual spaces between the deck of the main house and the apartment. Photos show the view from the cottage yard looking to the house, and visa versa to give you an idea of the degree of privacy of the outdoor space.
