Home can be available as soon as August 1st if secured with security deposit. Will not hold home without signed lease and full security deposit. Please contact me directly to schedule a viewing, as we will need to schedule around AirBNB guest stays. Serious inquiries only.** Ideally, we would love to find a good longer-term tenant who loves the house, takes good care of the space and wants to settle in to make it their home. We are happy to work with you to help secure that vision for the right tenant.
