    What's special

    Fully furnishedTwo flowerbedsFully fenced backyardQuality piecesRefinished hardwood floorsFull cookware and dishes
    Just bring your suitcase. Fully furnished, beautifully appointed 4-bedroom home on Athens' East Side, 8 minutes to OhioHealth O'Bleness and five minutes to Ohio University, with a city bus stop on the sidewalk beside the house. Built for visiting and relocating faculty, medical professionals on assignment, and families between homes. Not a student rental. The house is furnished with quality pieces and finished the way a well-designed home should be. If you're used to living somewhere thoughtfully put together, it will feel like home rather than a rental. Luxury-quality sheets, towels, and blankets are on every bed and in every bath. The rooms are set up to be lived in and rested in, and the whole house is ready for hosting from day one dinner with neighbors for up to 12, or a Saturday on the covered patio. The 1,800 sq ft interior centers on one large open kitchen, dining, and living space with refinished hardwood floors and a 75" smart TV. The all-stainless kitchen includes refrigerator/freezer, convection oven with stovetop, dishwasher, and microwave, plus full cookware and dishes. A dedicated laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer. Four bedrooms: a king suite, a queen room with its own half bath, a twin room with a desk, and a fourth room with a full-over-twin bunk plus a twin trundle. One full bath and two half baths. A proper workstation with a desk and a comfortable office chair makes remote work or charting from home practical. The house is wired for high speed internet. Outside: a fully fenced backyard, a covered patio with a gas grill, two flowerbeds, and parking for three (two in the driveway, one on the street). The neighborhood does the rest. A three-minute walk puts you at two locally owned shops: a grocery store, and a bakery-cafe with fresh bread, baked goods, and Athens' best locally roasted single-origin coffee. Avalanche Pizza, internationally award-winning, is around the corner and two doors down. The main corridor of Athens restaurants and shopping is a one-minute drive. If you'd rather not drive at all, the city bus stops on the sidewalk beside the house and runs to uptown, campus, and the hospital a real option for one-car households and anyone who prefers to leave the car parked. This home has been maintained to the standard of a well-run short-term rental and is now offered on a 12-month lease to tenants who want turnkey housing. It suits relocating faculty and staff, physicians and nurses on assignment, families between homes, and small groups of 2 3 working professionals. Mature gatherings are welcome; university-style parties are not. Rent: $2,400/month. Tenant pays electric, gas, water/sewer, and internet. Security deposit equal to one month's rent. UTILITIES INCLUSIVE OPTION available, with or without lawn care, for additional fee. Lease term: 12 months*. *Because Athens runs on the university calendar, the lease includes two built-in early-exit dates: the tenant may end the lease on May 31 or on August 15 with 60 days' written notice and no termination fee. No other early termination. Applicants should show verifiable gross monthly income of at least 3x rent, or a signed work contract with housing stipend, or an insurance housing authorization. No smoking. Showings available this week. Lease term: 12 months. Because Athens runs on the university calendar, the lease includes two built-in early-exit dates: the tenant may end the lease on May 31 or on August 15 with 60 days' written notice and no termination fee. No other early termination. Strict no smoking and no indoor pet policy. Renter responsible for lawn maintenance. Lawn care package available. Back yard has room for garden - flower or vegetable - and renters are welcome to use it.
