About this House

1,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and has a sun room at the front of the house that we used as our kids toy room but could be used as a porch or mudroom. There is a laundry room at the back of the house that leads to the garage. There is an attic for storage in the two car garage and there is an unfinished basement that can also be used for storage. This is a very nice home that we would take with us if we could. Included with this house will be the backyard lot which we also own and have partially fenced in. It is a great spot for children to play or to keep a pet. A front load washer and dryer and all other appliances are included with this house. I will continue to pay for the sewer and trash but all other utilities will be the responsibility of the renter. Tenant will also be responsible for mowing the premises. We are asking $1,075 a month in rent and a deposit of $1,000 as well. Pets are an additional $50/month and a 6 month lease is also an extra $50.month. All applicants will require a credit check, proof of income and two references. Please feel free to contact me via phone or e-mail. I do respond to text better than anything else. Thanks for looking!

Owner pays for Sewer and Trash. All other utilities to be paid by tenant. Lease includes use of empty lot that is fenced in behind the house (500 Stowell Ave) which is about an 1/8th of an acre. Tenant is responsible for mowing both lots. Pets are not allowed in house but this is negotiable.

    "This is a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of diversity. It has character and old fashion appeal. Large homes, duplex and apartments with its originality. The community has survived the worst although the love and spirit of the city is here. Perfectly located in the middle of everything, the smell of Fast Eddies Chicken or fried rice from the Hong Kong house decorates the air. I love it here, it’s safe with the beautiful mixture of people from all walks of life. Like with any city this area has its flaws, yet the flaws is what makes the beauty of it all!"
