$2,400 · Cottage in the city (May 15 or June 1)

Why rent an apartment or suite when you can rent a house with a yard for the same price? Nobody above or below you! Rustic on the outside; bright and functional and cozy on the inside. Welcome to the shack; a 1919, two bedroom and one bathroom, 600sqft single family home with front and backyard in the Quadra/Hillside neighbourhood. Fenced on three sides. Will accommodate two but more suitable for one. Carpet in porch, both bedrooms and living room. Laminate flooring in kitchen. Recently updated bathroom with shower and tub and heated tile floor. Detached carport and two off street parking spots. Some storage in shed attached to carport. Garden area in both the front and backyard with three producing apple trees for all those green thumbs out there!! Yard care is required so hopefully that is your thing otherwise you agree to letting me doing it. Also, there is a park next door for more green space. Walkable to many amenities and shopping, including Fairway, Crystal pool and SOFMC. Bus stop 50m away. Ideal for anyone who commutes by bike to anywhere in the downtown core. Rent includes: Hydro, internet, water, garbage, compost and recycling Included appliances: Apartment sized stove, Apartment sized fridge, washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. House is older but surprisingly livable although it is certainly not for everyone. I have lived in it for 20yrs and have had no issues with it. Lovely living for Spring, Summer and Autumn months and a little cooler during the winter due to little insulation. Electric baseboards for heat. No smoking, vaping, drugs or parties of any kind on the property. One cat ok. If you are the successful applicant, proof of tenant insurance will be required. Looking for a minimum one year lease with a possibility to extend. This home would suit someone who is handy as it does have its quirks and I am unable to do a lot. Discount on rent for work done on the house is a definite possibility. Must see to fully appreciate. All viewings will occur on weekdays between 4pm and 6pm or on the weekend.
