Description

During my sabbatical, my son (7) and I are renting our colorful, slightly quirky, 1953 home with yard in South Claremont. This is a modest, clean, single-story with ample natural light, a master bedroom (king size bed), kids room (full size tall loft bed), and small office. One small bathroom with bathtub is in the main area of the house. A second bathroom with shower is near the living room off the attached converted garage (quirky). The house has a fully-equipped galley kitchen with refinished original steel cabinets. A *counter-top* dishwasher, toaster oven, blender, electric kettle, and coffee maker are available for use. Other appliances include functional older models washer and dryer, microwave if desired, milk steamer, bread maker, etc. **We are renting the house fully furnished (but will empty closets and clear counters of personal items seen in the photos.) We have 3 indoor-only (!) cats who would ideally stay in the home and be cared for by the tenant. We are open to negotiate this point if it’s a deal breaker. Please reach out with your questions/concerns. Note that we have local petsitting support who can be called on for occasional weekends/vacations for a fee.*** Use of bicycles (1 adult; 3 kid-size) and cargo bike (fits up to 4 small kids) negotiable. Occasional use of our car could be discussed. Monthly housekeeping is also negotiable.
