This is a very clean, well maintained property. I am a perfectionist and I live here as well for the past 30 years so whether I have a tenant or not, it is always kept up. There have been times in the Winter I didn't have a tenant, I still shoveled the deck and still cleaned the driveway.
The apartment is in excellent maintenance free condition and it is waiting for an honest, clean, responsible tenant to fill it. It is owner occupied so you don't have to worry about loud parties, drugs or shady characters. It is a perfect apartment for seniors as well. It is a duplex side by side and past tenants have appreciated having me take care of landscaping and snowblowing when things get piled up around here with snow. The apartment has wired ethernet jacks and WiFi is your own WiFi network is available at an additional cost of 40 dollars per month, much lower than a spectrum internet plan.
I am seeking a responsible person, this is an owner occupied property, it is a duplex so the owner lives next door and is easy to get along with and respectable, quiet and clean. It is perfect for an older person because there are not many stairs to climb or for a professional. I am seeking a long-term tenant. The neighborhood is quiet and the apartment is located on a dead end street.
Please be patient as I have to screen the responses to select the perfect tenant.... I can promise I am a quiet, responsible older owner who respects your privacy and there for you if you need something or have an issue. Showings are by appointment only. I may consider a cat it really depends on the tenant though an additional pet fee may be required.
