Work comfortably from home or commute from here. CHARM | Hardwood floors throughout and tall ceilings, loaded with character: built-in cabinetry, tin ceiling & wrap around porch. 3++ ROOMS| Technically a 3-bed, the ample bonus space has to be seen to be believed: (*) Huge finished attic provides additional opportunities for live and work arrangements -- office(s), entertainment room, den, playroom, teen hangout? (*) Bright enclosed porch off the second bedroom with Hudson river view. 1.5 BATHS |Large upstairs master bath with 2 pedestal sinks, bath tub/shower with wide showerhead, with extra private door to master bedroom.

Owner supplies heat during heating season (Oct 1-May 31), hot water, landscaping and snow plowing if needed. EXTRAS| Option of minimal furnishing or unfurnished, window A/C units, and a couple removable radiator covers. RESPONSIVE/MAINTAINED| On-site handiman (in own private unit) + extremely responsive and communicative owner makes this a pleasant and well maintained place to live. If you're not communicative and cooperative about maintenance issues as they arise, and about ongoing improvements, we are not a good match. Current improvement: A porch upgrade in process (this is fully permitted, supervised by an architect & licensed contractor). Up next is upgrading perimeter fencing and new gate. We maintain good neighbor relations and expect same of you. OPEN HOUSE| Evenings the week of Aug 25: Tues-Fri 5:30-8 p.m. and on 3-day Labor Day weekend until/unless rented. If listing is up, it's available. Check for updates on the weekend in case availability/OH times need to change. Please give owner advance notice of when you think you'll stop by - provide name, phone number, # of tenants, preferred move-in date, and total monthly net income. Owner has a FT job so please be patient and know that we can't call everyone before meeting. This house is not for sale so please don't ask. COMPETITIVE APPLICANTS | I will consider applications from people who come READY WITH: 2 landlord references within last 3 years (with contact information for immediate reference check), proof of employment/income enough to cover timely rent payment and living expenses, sign authorization to run credit report (welcome to bring a recent credit report, 1 mo. old or less, if you have one). TIP| Once we've met and owner agrees to move forward, using Zillow's built-in application features is a *better deal* than having owner run manual credit check for $40 and highly preferred. Upon satisfactory application review and deposit ($3,700) payment, owner will run credit check ($40 fee preferred via Venmo unless using Zillow function). If the above clears, first rent's month is also due ($3,700) at signing of contracts/documentation. *At this time, this is rental by owner. NO BROKER FEE. Take advantage of that opportunity which will likely end by 9/1 or 9/2. This house is not for sale - so please no broker inquiries.* (Nyack Upper Nyack Tappan Zee Bridge Hudson River Hudson River Valley Commuter Work from home garden laundry parking) 1 yr to start.
