The house is located on a quiet residential street in the SE Como neighborhood of Minneapolis, south of Como on 18th Ave SE. Bus, bike, drive or walk to the U of M campus from this convenient location. It is a 2 story (+unfinished basement) American Foursquare house, built in the early 1920s, about 26'x26', with 3 bedrooms and one bath on the second floor, and a half bath off the kitchen on the first floor. Two bedrooms are approximately 10'x12' while the third is smaller at about 8'x10'. There is a working fireplace and a 3 season front porch (with some wicker chairs). There are 3 small window sized air conditioners. Beautiful woodwork throughout, on the floors, trim, and built ins (though some sills are water stained). A nice yard with shade trees and a small deck off the kitchen. The house is unfurnished, but a few pieces of furniture are there, as well as some basic kitchen supplies. A nice corner store is on the block. Van Cleve park is two blocks away. Dinkytown is about 8 blocks. The Quarry shopping center is about a mile north (with a Target, Cub Foods, Home Depot, and more). A single car garage with extra storage space is on the lot. Gas furnace (new as of 2008) and water heater, washer, dryer in basement. No smokers and no dogs, but a cat would be ok. Tenants will be responsible for lawn mowing in the summer and sidewalk shoveling in the winter (we'll provide a mower and shovel). 1 year lease.
