Lease to start no later than October 1st, but potential that home may be available as early as September 15th. Single-family home is becoming a rental after 10 years owner occupied. The home is near the Greenwood neighborhood strip, and just 2 blocks walk to groceries at Fred Meyer, coffee and hand pies even closer at Preserve and Gather, or an outdoor spot for beer and food trucks every day of the week at Chuck's Hop Shop. The street has a baked in family-friendly community with Thursday night play street. Extremely private home with a hedge fortress enclosing the front yard and an uncommonly large back yard for the area. Back fence is adjacent to a defunct alley way, so shared fences only on East and West property lines. The back yard has 4 raised cedar planter boxes (2.5 ft square each) put in this summer, several mature evergreen trees, and a large cedar chip enclosure filled with play chips (tumbled to remove excess splinters) which was previously set up as an outdoor dining area under a pavilion tent and a kids' play area. The side of the house has a spacious concrete pad perfect for setting up a grilling zone with a beautiful rhododendron blooming overhead in the early summer. If you're working from home and staring out the windows a bit, you'll be seeing stellar jays and northern flicker woodpeckers in the backyard. Two bedrooms and full bath on main floor. Each bedroom has ample closet space. All main floor rooms have just been freshly painted. All floors in the main level are hardwood (installed ~5 years ago) with the exception of the bathroom which sports some retro linoleum. Updates for the transition to rental include a new low flow toilet, stainless steel LG refrigerator, and expecting a new heat pump installation scheduled later in September (which will effectively add AC to the home). Dish washer is a no nonsense Bosch, and relatively new Samsung front loading washer and dryer (~2 years old) are located in the basement next to a utility sink. Next to the utility sink is a functional basement toilet (not described in the "1 bath" listing). The basement toilet has not been used by the current owners, but certainly potential to string up some curtains if you'd like to have a distancing option to offer guests as this is just down a few stairs from the side house door. Tons of storage space or room for projects in the basement. One basement room was previously used as a kennel with a dog door installed in one window for pet access from the back yard. Additionally, a semi-finished DIY-like office is also located in the basement. Parking is nearly always available on the street in front of the house. Additionally, a driveway offers off-street parking for 2 cars, or a location for storing (or building) a camper trailer. Lease to start no later than October 1st, but potential that home may be available as early as September 15th. Tenant pays for all utilities (electric, water/sewer/garbage). Yearly maintenance of the hedge fortress managed by owner. 12-month lease. First month rent required to secure the rental. Deposit and last month's rent due at lease signing, with option for pro-rating if requested. Up to two pets permitted with additional pets considered on a case by case basis. Proof of monthly income equal to or greater than 3 times the monthly rent is required. Masked and distanced tours will be offered in order of responses received. Owner and property manager may both be present, and are both vaccinated.
