Costs, fees, and lease terms

Lease terms

Owner pays for trash. Tenant pays for gas/electric and water. Electricity bill is usually zero due to solar panels. The water bill is shared between this house and the other house on the property (that is accessed from the alley). I have water meters on both units and will bill you proportional to your use. If you want free internet, there's a mesh network from the house in the back that I'll let you use, but it's a little slow and I can't guarantee it will always work.

About the building

Charming 3 Bed / 1 Bath Craftsman Bungalow in City Heights (Castle Neighborhood) I've lived in this house for many years and poured a lot of love… into it, and I'm looking for a long-term renter who will appreciate its character as much as I have. It's an 880 sq. ft. Craftsman with a really wonderful, classic feel. It sits on a quiet street with no through-traffic, and it comes with a massive perk: fully paid-off solar panels, which usually means your electric bill is $0. The House: Layout: 3 bedrooms, 1 bath. One of the bedrooms features beautiful double doors, making it a perfect home office, creative space, game room, guest room, workout room, etc. Appliances: Dishwasher and a washer/dryer combo included. The Oasis Outside: Private Backyard: Fully fenced and shaded, featuring a relaxing two-person outdoor bathtub. The Gardens: Lush front and back gardens run on an automated watering system, so you get all the beauty with very little maintenance. I'll send a gardener over a few times a year to help with pruning and clean up. Fresh Fruit, Herbs, and Veggies: The house is surrounded by edible plants! You'll have fresh lemon, lime, pomegranate, passionfruit, guava, pineapple guava, Japanese pear, almond, grape, fig, jujube, persimmon, navel orange, loquat, elderberry, rosemary, chamomile, echinacea, lavender, rose, jasmine, evening primrose, society garlic, calendula, arugula, tomatoes, mixed greens, cabbage, broccoli. Workshop: There is a detached 60 sq. ft. space in the back, perfect for extra storage or tinkering. Climate & Logistics: Climate Control: Because it's an older Craftsman, there is no central AC or built-in heating. However, since the solar panels make your electricity effectively free, you can easily run portable AC units in the summer or space heaters in the winter without stressing about a crazy utility bill. Also, the solar panels block the sun, the solar attic fan keeps the house quite cool, and the ample windows keeps a light breeze moving through the house. It's never bothered us to not have AC. Parking: 2 gated, tandem off-street spots, plus plenty of daytime street parking. Availability: Starting August 16th (but I'm flexible on the exact start date). Lease duration is also negotiable. The Location: Walk: 1 block to the corner market, elementary school, and the Manzanita Canyon Trail (which leads to Azalea Community Park). 5 blocks to a supermarket. 7 blocks to the City Heights transit center (express bus downtown). Bike: 10 minutes to North Park, 15 minutes to Balboa Park. Drive: 5 minutes to the 805, 15, and 94 freeways. 10 minutes to SDSU and Downtown. 15 minutes to the airport, Amtrak, or the beach.
