A note on the home's history
This is a lovingly preserved 1887 home, and a few characterful details come with that. The original floors are solid but gently uneven in places. Walls and doorframes have settled over 130-plus years. As with any downtown location, you will occasionally hear city sounds such as an ambulance or a passing plane. We mention all of this up front because we want the right fit, someone who values character and walkability over brand-new construction.
Deposit due up front.
First month due up front.
Utilities included (Water, Sewer, Trash, Electric)
Lease is $1,650 for a 12-month lease
