9725 NW Leahy Rd, Portland, OR 97229

Wonderful location in Cedar Mill with one acre forested backyard, the best school district in the area, and surprisingly accessible public transportation close by. This is the large (~1800 sq ft) daylight basement lower unit of a huge house, and features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one with bathtub. There is complete separation of the two units and multiple independent entrances to this rental, as well as separate parking lots. The current tenant was short term after a previous six year tenan and the top unit has had the same renter for five years. The most noteable feature of this unit is that it opens into a forest. It is quiet with some occasional wildlife and a feeling of being away from the city but still in close in terms of access to highway and the shops of cedar hills. It is a short commute to Nike or St Vincent's hospital, and quite convenient do a NW Portland commute via Cornell or Barnes if not Hwy 26. Will allow a dog, assuming it is well potty trained and not a frequent barker. No cats. I pay for water, gas, and garbage. Electricity is split with the upstairs tenant. This unit has its own washer and dryer. Though there is some shade because of the trees in the yard, there is possibility for a garden space or similar if the tenant is interested. If, after discussing details further, everything turns out to be a good fit, I will want a credit and background check and will use an online application before signing a lease. But let's discuss before you spend any money on any services. I am looking for a year lease. Owner pays for gas, sewer, water, garbage service.
