210 SE Davis St

Available August 22: a second-floor walk-up 2BR apartment in a historic, nonsmoking building an easy walk from 3rd St, the public library, the post office, the McMinnville Aquatic Center, city and county government buildings, Linfield and the seasonal farmer's market. This apartment occupies the southern half of the building's second floor, so it is sunny and breezy with views toward Davis St., the side yard and the back yard. Dine-in kitchen with under-cabinet LED task lighting and plenty of cabinet storage. The building is the Col. J.C. Cooper House, featured on the McMinnville historic register. The original structure dates to the 1890s and was expanded into multifamily housing in the 1940s. This apartment has been renovated without losing its vintage character. Nice upgrades include LVP flooring and cushy Stainmaster II carpet with a thick pad, and custom acrylic countertops and under-cabinet LED task lighting in the kitchen. In keeping with this apartment's 1940s origin there is low clearance along the outer east and west walls (LR, BA and both BRs), windows are large but low, and the bathroom has a side-mounted sprayer with the tub (no shower) due to the low clearance along the outer wall. We do our best to keep the oldies-but-goodies going, so the apartment features older, good-quality custom plywood cabinets, an enameled cast-iron tub with tile components in its surround, original custom solid interior doors (one with an antique crystal knob), and radiators updated to have an attractive, glossy gray, easy-to-clean, powder-coated finish. The apartment is accessed via steps up to a porch and then through a secure interior hallway. The interior steps and balustrade date to the original 1890s home. The shared secure laundry room is in the basement, accessible by exterior concrete stairs. The building features a hot water boiler system that provides toasty seasonal heat via radiators in each apartment. Radiators have individual valve controls so tenants can set the heat as they like within their apartments. Tenants may provide their own portable or wall-mounted AC units. Tenants share a roomy, fenced back yard and shady front porch. Each apartment has one assigned parking space in the off-street gravel parking area. Tenant's vehicle must fit in its spot without interfering with other vehicles' ordinary movement between their assigned spots and the street access. Additional street parking is available in the neighborhood. Amenities: One off-street parking space Shared on-site coin-op laundry in basement, $3/load wash/dry Designated shelf storage in secure shared laundry area Grassy, fenced, shared backyard Anyone interested in the place is invited to drive or walk by to check out the property and neighborhood from street or sidewalk. Please do not trespass or disturb the tenants. Stated rent: $1355.00 Utilities surcharge: $ 210.48* Total rent: $1565.48 Deposit: $2000.00 Move-in cost is deposit plus first month's rent (totaling $3565.48), plus pet deposit and pet rent if applicable. We count the application fee as a credit toward move-in cost for an accepted application. We accept rent via check through first class mail and Venmo (other methods may be accommodated by prior arrangement). Tenant pays their own apartment's electricity bill and their choice of telecom service. Showing evidence of having a McMinnville Water and Light electricity account set up for the apartment using a signed lease is a precondition to receiving keys, so actual move-in date may depend in part on the utility's business hours and response time (no exceptions). *Utilities surcharge is calculated annually from the average actual utilities charges from the prior 12 months. The utilities surcharge calculation includes water, sewer, natural gas (for the boiler heat), garbage and recycling, common electric and seasonal heat. Surcharge calculation detail is on the back of this page. The utilities surcharge updates no more than annually on a schedule similar to rent, with similar advance notice (at least 90 days). Surcharge detail: The utilities surcharge is calculated using the following formula: Surcharge = (# BRs in apt)* [(avg. total shared monthly utility bills)/(BRs in building)] Apartment 2 has 2 bedrooms. The total number of bedrooms in the building is 7. For the purpose of this calculation the studio apartment in the building counts as a 1BR.
