About this House

The bathroom also has an slightly deeper "soaking" tub! Has central air, off - street parking, and washer and dryer in basement. Tenant is responsible for lawn care, snow removal, and paying all utilities. The basement does get water when it rains, so any items stored would need to be up off the floor.
