    What's special

    Newly renovated bathroomPaved drivewayVintage and period-correct furnishingsWell stocked kitchenTwo generously sized decksCozy upstairs bedroom loftNew quartz countertops
    "A" is for adorable! This 1970's A-Frame on a private 0.51 acre lot has also been described by many as *magical*. You'll feel like you've been transported to a quiet mountain chalet with the large rock outcropping in the backyard and a babbling brook running beside the property. The mostly vintage and period-correct furnishings compliment the warm walnut-hued walls and ceilings. The cozy upstairs bedroom loft is 327.5 sqft with a desk overlooking the wooded back yard. Downstairs, you have an additional 410 sqft of living area with a large laundry/storage/workout space and newly renovated bathroom. The well stocked kitchen is very functional with new quartz countertops and a dishwasher. Two generously sized decks give you plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Talk about a mid-century tiny-home dream come true! With the abundance of serenity, you'll forget you're only 2 minutes to Southern Village/Weaver St. Market, 4 minutes to UNC Hospital, and 5 minutes to Franklin St/UNC's campus. This rental comes fully furnished with all utilities - (Spectrum high-speed internet, electric, water, trash/recycle) - included in the monthly rent. All you need to bring is your suitcase full of clothes. Rental terms are flexible, but the Chapel Hill Short Term Rental Ordinance states home cannot be rented for less than a 30 day term. 3 month minimum with longer periods preferred. Thank you for viewing! Home is fully furnished as pictured (including all linens, not including the bike). All utilities (electric, trash, and Spectrum high-speed internet) are included in the rent. $200/mo cap on electric covered by landlord (haven't had anyone exceed this amount yet). Home is on well and septic. Renter will be responsible for providing their own drinking water if they opt not to drink the tap water (blue bottle setup is provided). No smoking. 3 month rental term minimum with longer periods preferred. Paved driveway, one car wide. Landlord will do lawn maintenance as needed, but a battery powered leaf blower is provided for the tenant to keep decks, paths, and driveway clear. Pets negotiable on a case by case basis.
