Welcome to this beautiful 2 bedroom/1 bath Craftsman home with 11X8 bonus room (Approximately 900 Sq. Ft.) and an inside laundry room. This Home is in the heart of Normal/University Heights and is the front house of a 4-plex with a gated courtyard in between the house and the 3 other units. This home is located one block from Adams Avenue on a wide street. There is a long driveway for 2 car tandem parking (and there is enough room even for larger cars with room to spare!!) This home was built in 1937 and has been substantially renovated while still retaining its old-world charm with all the wood trim and molding accents, built in bookshelves and a kitchen China-hutch cabinet. The home offers beautiful landscaping in the front yard and a covered porch/entry. This home features brand new vinyl dual pane windows throughout, fresh paint on the inside & out, new carpet in both bedrooms and bonus room, custom vinyl plank flooring in the living room, kitchen & laundry room with new washer and dryer, new faux wood EZ lift blinds throughout, new window air conditioner and two gas burning wall furnaces and ceiling fans in each bedroom and the bonus room. The large living room has a wood burning fireplace with built-in mantle, shelving, and a tile hearth. The Master BR offers a big closet with all original lower drawers & upper cabinets. There is also a private backyard deck with table/chairs and umbrella supplied by owner. The bonus room also has a built-in original bookshelf, and that room has been used as a bedroom, a nursery, an office, and a den over the years. The bathroom has a newly coated tub/shower, a new adjustable multi spray showerhead, a new vanity, a new window, blinds and vinyl plank floors. The outside of the home has the original decorative trim around all the new windows. I tried to keep most of the original wood during renovation. There is a front security screen door. At the back of the complex there is an additional coin operated shared laundry room which you may also use when needed. The kitchen is complete with a new refrigerator with ice maker, a 4-burner gas range with added griddle, a new microwave, a new faucet in the dual sink, plus a movable island with marble top for added countertop space. There are two secure bike racks in the courtyard for this house plus a shared BBQ in the common area. This house is blocks from the 805 on-ramp and Texas Street which leads to the I-8 freeway. This property has a walk score of 93 on Zillow and is one block from coffee shops, restaurants, nightlife, and it is close to hospitals, bus lines and much more. There is a pro-ration for water which averages approximately $25.00 per tenant per month. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis. This complex is owned and managed by the owner, so issues get handled quickly and no dealing with a property management company. The property is available immediately. This is a well-maintained property with a small community feel that you will enjoy. If you are tired of all the "flipped" units that feature "new everything" but all seem to look the same, you may want to consider and hopefully will appreciate a well maintained 1937 home with an old-world feel. We hope you find it a nice and welcoming place to rent.
