This is a wonderful home with a HUGE backyard, a great deck and patio for outside time, tons of light inside, and lovely wood floors throughout. There's a retractable awning over the deck for shade on sunny days and the big playhouse is fun for kids or it can be used as a storage shed. There's also a second small storage shed on the side of the home for yard tools and garden equipment. If you enjoy being outside, this home is great for you. HOA is included in rent. This includes use of pool and neighborhood facilities such as tennis courts and pickleball courts. It's tough to find a more convenient location, just off 470 and no more than about 8 minutes to everything -- the mall, grocery stores, hardware stores, Costco, Sprouts, Target, Walmart, parks... everything. Mount Carbon Elementary is a 10-minute WALK from the house and the neighbors all around are great -- friendly and helpful. They even organize a few block parties each year where everyone comes out to hang out and play games. The home has two stories -- all 3 main bedrooms are upstairs -- plus a basement that has a 4th bedroom, a game room (or man cave) area, and a lot of storage space in the furnace room and a closet. The 2-car garage is equipped with a 50-amp plug for EV chargers. Washer and Dryer are included (new). The home also has a whole-house fan, which is great for keeping the air in the home fresh. Please apply via Zillow. Thank you! 12-month lease minimum. First month's rent and security deposit are due upon signing. Renter is responsible for paying water, gas, and electric bills.

Tenant is responsible for maintenance of the lawn and landscaping, per HOA requirements. Owner pays HOA fees, but tenant will pay any fees for notices or fines regarding lack of upkeep to the yard or home's appearance, for issues that are the responsibility of the tenant. Owner will take care of "blowing out" the sprinklers and winterizing the sprinkler system, as well as turning the system back on in the spring. Access to the inside of the home is required for this. Tenant is responsible for the general care and maintenance of the lawn/landscaping and home to keep it presentable (per HOA requirements) and in good working order and to minimize damage to the home. In the event of a break, leak, outage, or malfunction of an appliance or system (plumbing, electrical, roof, siding, or otherwise) Tenant is required to take immediate reasonable action to prevent additional damage to the home AND is required to notify the owner or a professional (if owner is not available) immediately so that action can be taken to prevent additional damage and make necessary repairs quickly. In addition to as-needed repairs and maintenance, the owner will likely perform one yearly general maintenance session to the property to maintain a pleasant appearance -- paint touch-ups, general improvements, checking and fixing leaks, etc. This will be coordinated with the tenant, and efforts will be made to minimize disruptions to the tenant's space and schedule. This is a good time to provide the owner with a list of systems or areas that could use updates or improvements. No subleasing / subletting allowed.
