The style of the home is called a Portland Four Square. It was converted into a duplex years ago and I completely renovated it. It has a large front porch for people watching. There is a shared basement for storage, art projects, and use of the washer/dryer. The apt is approximately 650 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms and hardwood floors. The floor plan is unique affording creative flexibility in how to utilize the space. The oversized kitchen includes a stove, fridge, and island for food preparation. Each unit has a highly efficient gas furnace and water heater. The electrical service is separated and all wiring updated to code. You won't have to worry about overloaded circuits and high cost utility bills vs. other rental options. In addition water pipes have been upgraded, giving excellent flow to all fixtures. If you enjoy gardening, you will appreciate the large, sunny plot surrounded by scrumptious raspberries. There is a backyard too for sunbathing and barbeques. You are also welcome to plant flowers around the house perimeter. The neighborhood is friendly and safe with lots of interesting people, restaurants, and shops. There is excellent bus service and you won’t need a car for grocery shopping at either Zupans or Fredies, both only a short walk away. You are minutes from the river, OHSU, and downtown by bike. Laurelhurst Park with its beautiful ancient trees, lovely water element, and eager- to-greet-you ducks is within 3 blocks. Currently living downstairs is a warm, friendly couple. In order to maintain the positive energy of the house you should have good communication skills and be respectful of others. If you appreciate the importance of this dynamic, you will love living in this home. There is a no smoking policy on the property. No pets allowed. A one-year lease, excellent credit, and references are required. The property is available July first $735 + utilities. People stay in this apt 2-4 years and you’ll understand why when you see it.
