Move-in ready 3-bedroom brick ranch in south-central Huntsville, with 1,200 square feet of comfortable single-level living and a full bath plus a second bath with walk-in shower a real advantage over the one-bath rentals common in this neighborhood. LVT and hardwood run throughout, so there's no carpet to worry about. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, electric range and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, plus a closet pantry for real storage. Washer and dryer are included, so there's nothing to buy or haul in on move-in day. Recent updates mean lower bills and less hassle: HVAC replaced in 2021 and all-new windows in 2023.
Outside, a fully fenced backyard and patio give you private outdoor space, and the attached one-car garage plus driveway means parking is never a question.
Pets are welcome with landlord approval and there's no pet fee or pet rent. That fenced backyard is ready for them. Tenant is responsible for all utilities and lawn care.
The location is the real draw. You're a block off Memorial Parkway (US-231/431), a straight shot north to downtown Huntsville and south toward Redstone Arsenal an easy commute either direction. Downtown dining, breweries, and events are minutes away, with UAH about five miles out and Calhoun Community College and Alabama A&M also close by. Brahan Spring Park is right nearby, with soccer fields, disc golf, and sand volleyball courts. Whitesburg Drive shopping and dining sits a short drive east, and Five Points and the Twickenham historic district are both a quick trip in.
Lease terms are flexible. No smoking permitted. Tenant is responsible for all utilities and lawn maintenance.
