The kitchen features updated cabinetry and modern appliances, including a refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The home is equipped with central forced-air heating and window air conditioning units. Outdoor amenities include a private yard, porch, and patio, offering space for relaxation. Landscaping and lawn care are handled by the owner. A small portion of the yard may be available for personal gardening (e.g., vegetables), subject to discussion. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and welcoming, with a strong sense of community and walkability. It is particularly well-suited for professionals affiliated with nearby universities who value a peaceful residential environment with easy urban access. Flexible arrangements may be considered for responsible tenants.
