NE 12th Ave

Super cute and clean basement apartment in a 1924 bungalow. Freshly painted. Big shared back yard. Partially furnished with queen bed (Casper mattress), couch/lounger (Article brand), etc. Note: this home has two units -- one on the lower (basement) level, and one on the upper (main) floor. This listing is for the LOWER LEVEL unit, which has its own kitchen, bath and laundry. The units share a yard and an HVAC system, so it's essentially a 'house share.' Sounds travel between floors, so the right person for this unit is conscientious, quiet and dedicated to clear and friendly communication with the upstairs tenant. It would be ideal for a single person wanting to use the 2nd bedroom as an office / studio. THE SPACE: - 2 bedrooms - 1 bathroom - Kitchenette with gas range, oven, microwave and butcher block countertops - Private laundry room with large washer/dryer + storage space - Big egress windows - Bike storage available in the shared garage THE YARD: - Big, quiet backyard with lawn and patio for relaxing on summer evenings (shared with upstairs tenant) - Great sun and space for gardening, if that interests you! - Lawn maintenance included LOCATION: - Near NE 12th and Ainsworth on a wide, quiet street with ample parking. - 5-10 minute walk to three different parks (Woodlawn, Alberta Park, and Fernhill). - 10 minute walk to all the wonderful restaurants/shops on Alberta and in Dekum triangle/Woodlawn: P's and Q's market, Woodlawn Coffee and Pastry, the Alberta food coop, Podnah's, Hat Yai. - The #15 bus is just three blocks away. DETAILS: - I love to take care of this house and the people in it. The HVAC ducts were professionally cleaned last month, the floors were professionally cleaned and resealed last week, and the kitchenette and bathroom will be professionally and thoroughly cleaned before your move-in date. - There's ample street parking in front of house (driveway is reserved for main floor tenant) - Hi-speed fiber optic internet - NO PETS. I love them, but unfortunately cannot accommodate pets in this unit. The main floor tenant has a (small) dog, and that's the max I allow in the home. - No smoking of any kind on the property (inside or outside) RENT: - $1475/mo + $150 flat rate that covers ALL utilities (internet, gas, electric, water, garbage, lawn maintenance): $1625 total - Lease duration: 3 months minimum NEXT STEPS: The unit will become available Monday, May 11. If you're interested in arranging a time to see it, please share your availability and a little about yourself. OTHER: About me (your landlord): I live a mile away and pride myself on being a responsive landlord. You'll always have a direct line to me if anything comes up. This was my first house -- it holds a special place in my heart! I know it can be tough searching for housing in Portland. Good luck and hang in there. You'll find your perfect spot! :)
