FURNISHED SHORT TERM RENTAL ALL utilities are included in the rent, so you know your expenses every month. Utilities include; Xfinity Blast internet, electric, gas, trash, and water. No added expenses or maintenance associated with renting a home, but with all the benefits. Beautifully unique, artistically remodeled unit in the back of a beautiful 1859 house. Centrally located, ~one mile from downtown and ~one mile from Washington park. My husband and I completed a gut renovation of the property in March of 2018. This is an opportunity to live in a truly unique home, on an acre lot in the middle of the Historic West side. We also own a duplex on the property and have great tenants there. Everything is done for you, beautiful stainless steel appliances, full sized washer/dryer in the half bath, and every possible square inch was used to provide as much space as possible. There is a large deck in back of this unit overlooking a beautiful koi pond. There is 150 sq ft of space upstairs, it has a low pitched ceiling, but very usable. The backyard is huge and irresistible. Every year we put in a large vegetable garden, so all summer you can enjoy fresh vegetables. We have pear and apple trees, as well as raspberries and strawberries. Huge beds of pollinator friendly flowers. Currently rented as a short term rental. Look for The Hermits Hideaway on airbnb to see pictures and read the reviews to get a feel for us
