The front of the house. The house isn't really tilted; I'm not the best photographer in the world. (Probably not even the worst ... there might be one or two guys who do worse than me.) Click on the image for a large, high-quality image.
The house has all new double-hung, double-pane windows, a new garage door and remote-control opener, and a new concrete driveway. The stockade fence visible on the right side of the house is also new as is the stockade fence and gate to the back on the left side of the house (not completely visible, however, in this picture). A beautiful hedge gives privacy for the large concrete patio underneath the flat roof supported by four columns.
As you walk in the front door, the stairs to the second level are directly ahead of you (see next picture)). As shown in this picture, looking to the right, there is a family room with fireplace, new damper installed and glass screen on the lower level of the house.
Entering the house and looking a little more ahead, you see the stairs and the rest of the family room. Behind the stairs on the lower level is a hallway leading to a full bath, two bedrooms, and the utility room, which connects to the one-car garage. The carpeting throughout the house is completely new. Dimensions are 13'-14' wide by 23'6" deep.
This is the view of the front door from the rear of the family room, it looks dark due to the glare of outside light, which causes the camera to close the aperture down to avoid over-exposure.
A view of the downstairs hallway off the family room, which leads to a linen closet with under-stair storage followed by two bedrooms on the left, and a full bath on the right with the utility room door at the right rear of the hall. Not really much to see, but it should help to get you oriented...
Here's a view of the downstairs full bathroom. New tub and surround, new vanity, new medicine cabinet, new light bar (4 bulbs), new storage cabinet, new toilet, new glass door, and new exhaust fan. In other words, everything brand new.
Another view of the downstairs full bath, taken from the tub to show the sink, vanity, medicine cabinet and light bar, all brand new. Excess glare from the light bar is showing in the photo, but it looks normal in person. Did I mention that I'm not the world's best photographer?
A view of the open linen closet door, with the under-stair storage access panel showing.
A view of the under-stair storage, the linen closet door is right across the hall from the lower level bathroom door, and what you see here is behind the panel at the back of the linen closet. The lower white cable is for cable TV in the first lower level bedroom, it terminates in the utility room. (Cable TV is not included with the rental price, tenants must contract for the service with a cable TV company).
This is a view of the first bedroom on the left as you enter the lower level hall from the family room. Dimensions are 8.5' wide by 12' deep overall, including the closet, which itself is 5'8" wide by 2'4" deep. The room has one wide window.
Another view of the first bedroom, with the bi-fold doors closed. The door to the lower level full bath is seen through the open bedroom door.
A view of the downstairs second bedroom, This room has linoleum tile in it rather than carpet, and was deliberately left that way in case someone prefers a room with no carpet. Use of area rugs in such a room permits frequent cleaning if required. The bi-fold closet doors are open in this view. This room measures 10'4" wide by 12' deep, including the closet which itself is 6'4" wide by 1'4" deep. A jack for cable TV is seen in the lower rear of the closet.
Another view of the lower level second bedroom. The cabinet will be removed prior to occupancy, but may be left for use by a tenant if so desired.
Here is a view of the utility room looking from the vicinity of the door to the garage toward the lower level bathroom, the plumbing pipes of which can be seen in the rear of the photo. In the left foreground is a utility sink, the right foreground is the hot water baseboard boiler (painted black), behind which is the water heater, painted white, and behind that the forced air unit, which supplies forced air gas heat and air conditioning. The utility room is about 16' long and about 8' wide, with a 2.5' nook having an extra refrigerator and a set of shelves. The area in the rear of the photo will accommodate a washer and dryer, either electric or gas. Machines can be provided if needed.
