    What's special

    Interior freshly paintedUpdated windowsCentral airLots of storageGreenspace across the streetTowering mature treesLarge lot
    This adorable mid-century ranch is kitschy and cool. Located on a large lot in an eclectic neighborhood surrounded by the UW Arboretum, it is little oasis in the city. There's a relaxed vibe of towering mature trees, greenspace across the street, the arboretum a block away and no sidewalks. Friendly neighbors bike, walk their dogs, and enjoy the system of trails that start just a couple hundred feet from the front door. For those that work and play downtown, the UW Campus, Meriter hospital and the Zoo are only a 10 minute bikeride away! The bathroom has been stylishly updated and the interior freshly painted to be a clean slate for you to move in and feel right at home. The detached 2 car garage is just steps away from your kitchen door - keeping you out of the elements. While it feels like a secluded area, you are a short stroll from stores, food carts, and the busline. Other nice features include solid hardwood floors in the bedrooms and living room, LVP in the kitchen, bath and front porch, updated windows, central air, lots of storage, and a partially finished rec room in the basement could work as a workout room, workshop or craft room. For wildlife lovers, you'll enjoy meeting the family of sandhill cranes who visit the birdfeeder daily! Comfort, convenience, quiet and personality - all in one property! Ready for immediate occupancy. Not available for adult family home use. An ideal lease would be a 12 month lease. We allow pets with a clean bite history and no communicable diseases. This is a no-smoking property. Rent is based upon Tenant doing lawn mowing and snow removal. These services can be arranged for a fee. Tenant is responsible for all utilities. Water is provided by a cooperative for $120 per year.
