One side of a side-by-side (not up & down) duplex for rent.2 bedrooms, 2 baths (one full with shower / tub, the other 3/4 with shower), deck, two stall attached garage, laundry room (with washer & dryer included), central air, finished basement, 4 year old Anderson high-efficiency windows and brand new furnace. Big backyard.Available as soon November 1st (a few days earlier is fine). Rent is $1,250 a month with a $1,250 deposit. One year lease. Water, sewer and recycling included. Tenant pays for trash pick-up and all other utilities. All lawn and yard maintenance services included. A credit check and references required. A small cat is possible. No smoking. In contrast to many duplexes, this one is in a quiet residential neighborhood with single family homes on all sides. The neighborhood is stable with low housing turnover and a mix of older couples and families with young children. Across the street from the duplex is a large park with a kid's playground, walking and bike trails, soccer / baseball fields and two lakes. A five minute bike ride or 10 minute walk will get you to a major Park & Ride station with local and express downtown buses.I own the duplex and have lived on one side for 14 years. I have turned over tenants only twice before. This place is my home (not just a rental property) and I treat it as such. It is a side-by-side duplex with each side set up as essentially a separate small single family home. The single shared wall has excellent sound proofing and the driveway, garage, entrance, etc are all completely separate. Due to the private and visually separated nature of this particular duplex, I often don't see my tenants for a month or more at a time.When the occasional maintenance issue comes up, generally it is addressed within a day. I know the inner workings of the place pretty well and can fix a lot of stuff myself. When I can't fix something, I take advantage of the great local contractor contacts I've made during my 14 year land-lording career. Because many of them know me, response times are predictable and quick.The best way I can sum up what it's like to live here is that you'll feel like you are living in a single family home, but you'll have someone (me) to handle all the maintenance issues and hassles that come with living in a single family home. It's a good deal for both of us.I am looking for quiet dependable tenants who want a nice place to live for at least a year.Background check paid for by applicant(s) required. Owner pays for water, sewer and recycling. Tenant pays for trash pick-up and all other utilities.
