302A N 16th Ave #A, Bozeman, MT 59715

This 5 br/3 ba, 3000+ sf house has an attached ADU which is occupied by me, the landlord. There is a separate entrance and the units operate wholly independently. There is only 1 shared wall and it is in the kitchen of the house. The lease offered includes the house, 2 off-street parking spaces and yard. There is a detached garage on the property which is not included, along with the ADU. Many recent updates include new carpet, flooring, and paint throughout. All 3 bathrooms have been updated as well. Handsome and modern hickory cabinets house stainless steel appliances in the kitchen (brand new fridge!). A large mechanical room in the basement has washer/dryer (feel free to bring your own though), a utility sink, separate entrance and plenty of storage room. There are closets and cabinets everywhere as well as living areas on both levels. 3 br/2 ba main floor (includes master br/ba), 2 br/1 ba in the basement. The backyard features a covered, elevated patio, gardening area with raised beds, and plenty of room. Located just west of Bozeman high, there is highly walkable shopping and a Streamline busstop across the street. Downtown, midtown, and MSU are easily bike-able, and there is quick access to the interstate and all that N 19th has to offer. Rent INCLUDES gas/electric ($350/mo), water/sewer/trash/recycling ($150/mo). Tenant is responsible for weekly(ish) lawn mowing in season, I shovel sidewalks in winter. Up to 2 approved dogs are allowed with $100/mo/dog pet rent ( I will refund half at the end of the lease for good dogs). Cats are not allowed. Admittedly, this is a somewhat unusual rental situation with the landlord living (separately) on the property. I'm a friendly, longtime local who lives quietly and minds his business. Speaking of which, I have a small woodworking business that I run from the detached garage. You won't see me much unless there is a maintenance issue or something that needs my attention. I want my tenants to live and socialize as they would in any rental, but if you are prone to throwing raging, blow-out parties frequently, this may not be an ideal fit. All that said, I believe the situation is an improvement over renting from most property management companies. I do my best to be responsive and sympathetic, and to work with my tenants. I know life can be a wild ride at times. Apologies for the novel-like description. Just want to be sure folks know what they are applying for. As I said, it's a bit unusual in some regards. I have had happy tenants and consistent occupancy in the 12 years I've been leasing the house. Lease is for 1 year and requires a damage deposit equal to 1 month's rent ($4300). No smoking is allowed.
