Apartment Hunting?

Shameless self-serving promotion here...

There's a nice apartment for rent in the upper of a duplex, 1 or two bedrooms, depending on who moves in, corner lot looking East toward the Lake, off street parking (yeah, off street parking), lots of sun, front yard...stupidclose (read: Stumbling Distance) to the local watering holes and the Lake...full basement, laundry (washer and dryer, included in the rental...)...painting and decorations in the apartment are extremely agreeable, in which I don't really care what you do with it (with obvious exclusions such as demolition and the like...), private entrance, and a small sitting deck off the back, plus a front porch...

The kids who live there are moving out at the end of the month, and both current and future landlords would like to find tenants as soon as possible. The current landlord rocks the casbah, as he pretty much leaves us to ourselves, and I'm in the process of purchasing it from them, set to close here later on this summer...and I'd like to think I'm an alright guy...

I keep the yard up, and am going to be doing some major renovations in the coming years which will include new windows, a fence around the yard (picket, not chain link), french doors between the two larger rooms, landscaping, and some smaller cosmetic items along the way...

The current asking price on rent is either 600 or 650 a month, (I think at this point due to the impending sale, we could be a little flexible on the lease) which is awesome for what you get in the deal...we (the landlords) pay for the heating oil and garbage, keep the place mowed and such. The only other utilities for the upstairs would be a gas and electric bill. Ideally we'd look for younger couples, like the Missus and I, serious student types, and just all around nice people...

The most you'd have to contend with from your neighbors would be an occasional stereo going and a minor wait in the basement for the washer...other than that, there is the possibility for random cookie exchanges, grill outs (we happen to have three), and other neighborly behavior

If ya wanna check it out, call the current landlord (Gordon and Traci Ramsay @ 728.9322) to set up a showing. If ya wanna look at it, the addy is 901 E 4th St, corner lot, facing the lake...look for the tomato plants growing in 5 gallon buckets on the front stoop.

thanks fer listening...
