Beautiful Craftsman-style home in historic Parkside neighborhood, a stone's throw from Delaware Park. 3BR, 1 1/2 bath, corner lot exposure, coffered ceilings, leaded windows, hardwood floors, & open plan. Designed in 1905 for Darwin Martin House music teacher. Extra sun room could double as office. Surrounded by mature trees and lovely neighbors. Available August 1 for one-to-two-year lease. Showings this month. One month's security deposit. (No more ping pong table from older photos!) Renter pays own utilities (internet, electric, gas) and water fee is paid to owner, $25 per month. Because of the installation of a new and efficient new boiler, the heat is about half the cost of what it would typically run. Lease length is flexible, ideally at least one year and up to two. Off-street parking provides two parking spots in front of cottage. No smoking in the house. Tenant is responsible for snow removal, mowing lawn (except during No-mow-May) and setting out trash (Wednesday nights). A lawnmower is provided. This is a freestanding property on a nicely-sized lot. Keeping in mind the historic and neighborly nature of the neighborhood, weekly care for the yard the tenant's responsibility. However, the handyman comes for periodic plant trimming. He also replaces storm windows with screens in spring, and vice versa in fall. He lives nearby and is available to help with basic maintenance needs
