11 River Park Dr #2, New Paltz, NY 12561

Want to be wedged into an impersonal apartment complex? Or would you rather live in a beautiful home in a peaceful country neighborhood? We're looking for a mature, quiet, responsible, clean, considerate, non-smoker for a 1 Bedroom, single occupancy apartment in New Paltz. It's on the ground floor (no stairs) of a beautiful modern home, with 1 private and 1 shared entrance. The home is on a semi-secluded 5 acre property bordering a large, wooded nature preserve in an exclusive, low traffic neighborhood. There are mowed walking paths on and around the property. Because 2 dogs live on the property, sorry, no other pets. This gorgeous apartment is 700 sq. ft., newly renovated, unfurnished (or partly furnished), with computerized lights and thermostat, 10 foot ceilings, 1 bedroom, 1 bath with full tiled shower, full kitchen, custom workspace/desk area with loads of cabinets, a dining area, large sunny living room, and a 8' x 12' paved patio with a gas grill. The apartment is roomy, comfortable and quiet, winter warm/summer cool, with great light. It has loads of closet and cabinet space, a 320 cu.ft storage area (unheated), and includes free garage space for a bicycle, and private outdoor parking. 10 minute drive to the town of New Paltz shopping, restaurants and SUNY college. Close to both Minnewaska State Park, and Mohonk Preserve. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is nearby, as well as many orchards and wineries. A quiet, friendly, older couple live upstairs with their 2, friendly, well-trained German Shepherd dogs (who have yard privileges). The rent is $1975 a month and includes electric, gas, heat, A/C, water, sewer, trash, maintenance, internet access, Netflix, secure bicycle garage, parking, a secure storage area, and a 2000 sq. ft. personal garden area. Security deposit required. References, credit check, and renters insurance required. We are seeking a long-term tenant, but because the apartment is in our home, we will begin with a 6 month "get acquainted" lease. 6 month - 1 year renewable leases are available. (Renters insurance is included in rent price). No transfer of lease or sublets allowed. No smoking allowed inside, please. Pets are allowed only with prior approval, which also entails "Shepherd Approval". There is a separate pet allowance addendum to the lease, with a separate deposit covering pet related damages. There are a pair of German Shepherds (sisters) living on the property, who will happily adopt your family as their "charges" if you like. They are quiet, extremely well trained, and well behaved.)
