This property is owned by Logan Smith and Associates, LLC & managed by a local property manager. Property Description Seasonal pictures of Summer's tall trees & gently sloping grassy open space, Fall's swirling leaves or Winter's snowy blankets frame the front porch & picture window view across the street from this quaint, older, back to basics single family residence. This residence is a one bedroom & one bath home with a larger living room that offers space for relaxing on a comfortable sofa, keeping organized with a small desk & entertaining with a simple dining room set for friends & family to gather around. A moderately sized kitchen has space for a small table & two chairs as well as a separate pantry with ample shelves for food storage. The back entry also provides a washer & dryer while the medium sized bedroom provides space for a comfortably sized bed & provides sliding door closets with added cabinet storage above the closets. A modestly small bathroom provides a bathtub shower combination, a vanity & mirror, open shelving & a small storage cabinet. Off of the pantry, a partial cellar type area provides access to the furnace & hot water heater, small box storage & room for a portable garment closet if desired. The utility and storage area is not suitable as living space. This home is located in an established Littleton neighborhood across the street from Sterne Park and within walking distance to Historic Downtown Littleton. A long side yard & smaller back yard provide space for relaxing &/or a small garden if fresh air and lawn/garden care are appealing. Off Street driveway parking along the side of the house is a safer alternative. Bike or walk to RTD's Littleton Station to access Light Rail and bus routes. This home's location is also a short distance away from walking and bicycling trails along the South Platte River that also offers trail access to Chatfield Reservoir, Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms, Waterton Canyon with access to the Colorado Trail and other foothills parks including Deer Creek Canyon Park & Roxborough State Park. The Town Hall Arts Center and Depot Art Gallery as well as the Littleton Museum and Bemis Library offer award winning opportunities to enjoy art, culture and history nearby. The home features a quiet old fashion front porch with a view of Sterne Park's natural scenery & on clear dark nights some of the sky's sparkling stars. Please consider that leasing a single family residence is very different than leasing an apartment, condominium, duplex or triplex. Generally the cost of leasing a single family residence is more than a moderately priced apartment, condo, duplex or triplex & the amenities can be quite different. A single family residence provides a level of privacy than higher density housing does not. Choosing an option that best fits your needs is always the best outcome for both tenant & landlord. Location also has a significant influence on rental costs. There are a limited number of homes that overlook Sterne Park & that fact alone increases the yearly Arapahoe County property tax. In general the 80120 zip code is considered a highly desirable location due to ease of accessing mass transit (RTD's Light Rail or Buses), a relatively low crime rate, quality public & private schools, nearby retail shopping, banking, other consumer services & convenient access to quality healthcare. Additionally this location offers walking or biking access to Historic Downtown Littleton which offers a variety of restaurants, microbreweries, & unique establishments to meets friends for a Friday evening beer or cocktail or speciality ice cream from an old fashion ice cream parlor. A Littleton family owned recreational clothing store popular with those visiting who want to purchase "Colorado" labeled clothing & several boutique retail shops are only a few minutes away from this home's location. Options for fitness & recreational sports as well as access to City parks & walking paths are also nearby. Desirable locations, however, also result in increased property taxes based on comparable neighborhood sales, increased insurance rates & continual maintenance costs to provide the best living experience possible. This results in higher rental prices as does the opportunity for an enhanced sense of privacy with a single family residence. Please also factor in the tenant's costs for utilities: natural gas, electricity, water & waste removal, which vary monthly based on usage as does the type of telecommunication or entertainment packages chosen. Thank you. One year lease. Tenant(s) pays all utilities (electricity, natural gas, water and trash removal). Tenant(s) must satisfactorily pass a background check and complete a rental application provided by the property manager. This is a non-smoking residence & property. Any outdoor fireplaces, fire rings or burning of any materials is prohibited due to the risk of fire & extreme drought conditions. Renter's insurance is required. House is leased unfurnished. Tenant is required to provide lawn maintenance. This includes mowing lawn areas, removing weeds, volunteer tree saplings, & small broken or fallen branches from trees & shrubs. Snow removal from sidewalks is required. There are areas for a vegetable &/or flower garden but with significant drought watering restrictions as well as increased costs for outdoor water consumption this may not be a suitable year. Each Fall all deciduous leaves need to be raked & disposed of in the waste removal container. Portable composting equipment is an option but this does require the equipment, water & constant maintenance of composting materials. Although a detached garage & small storage shed are a part of the property, they are not available for tenant use at this time.
