427 SW 5th St

We have a rare opening coming up in a very unique space. This unit is the main floor of a 1920s Craftsman foursquare home, with a full porch across the front. It's only a short stroll to the downtown riverfront park, farmer's market coffee shops and cafes or in the other direction to campus. It is a "walker's paradise" according to walkscore, scoring 92 out of 100 points! This spacious apartment includes a large living room with fireplace, built-in bookshelves dividing that room and what is used for a bedroom (was likely a formal dining room) with window seats and which now has huge closets built onto the back of the bookshelves. These go full height, and all have the original dark wood and high 10 foot ceilings. From that room, there is a swinging door into the very large kitchen, and another door into the private bathroom, as nothing is shared with the other 4 units. This apartment has newer faux wood floors installed and a newer kitchen floor, newer counters and tile back-splash. Laundry is available, as is parking. Gas heat, and the building is weatherized to reduce heating costs, plus the tenant has their own meter for electric. No smoking or pets on the premises. There are 4 other units in the building with very quiet tenants. Two references are preferred to verify that the applicant would fit in here. Reservation deposit is equal to one month rent and application fee is $45. Info * Coin-op laundry in nearby building * Off-street parking (first come, first serve) * Water/sewer/garbage included (tenant pays other utilities) * Gas Heat * Free online tenant payment and maintenance requests * 2 good rental references preferred since neighbors are mostly quiet graduate students/working singles * No smoking/no pets policy * $45 application fee per adult * Reservation Deposit/ Security Deposit = 1 month's rent when meeting screening criteria * 13 month lease or possible 4 month lease The unit will be offered to the first applicant who meets all of our screening criteria, pays the reservation deposit, and is willing to start rent on the available lease start date. The address is 427 SW 5th Street, between Adams and Washington. Please email for more information and video tour and do not disturb current tenant. Thank you!
