We just dropped the rent! The Craigslist listing says $1200 but we agreed to $1150. (As I had suggested all along… but I digress.)
We are renting out the home we own in Tallahassee. It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bath midcentury house with a sunroom and loads of lawn around it, making it very private. There’s a fireplace, hardwood floors, a great redone kitchen with a triple-fuel range (gas stovetop with power burner, electric/convection oven), dishwasher, washer/dryer, lots of nice details, plenty of closet space… we have been taking very good care of this house and plan to keep it that way. (We just redid the fireplace foundation and liner–not the sort of thing you can see, but it ensured that it continues to be a WORKING fireplace.) The windows were redone with cute white shutters that mean you don’t have to worry about “window treatments.”
A small back deck gives you a place to grill. There’s no garage but there’s off-street parking and frankly, you can park on the street as well without issue… it’s a quiet street.
We have an area manager who will be responsive to your needs, and we pay a guy to mow the lawn. Cats are welcome! The place is very convenient to FSU, FAMU, CCLA, downtown/civic center, New Leaf… and it’s situated on a side street that no one drives down unless they have a reason to be there. One of the joys of living there was taking daily walks or runs into Myers Park proper. It’s also within walking distance of the municipal pool (recently renovated). If you can walk a mile, you can even go to downtown parades without having to negotiate a parking spot.
If you’re on the fence while you look at a comparable rental, please feel free to bargain. Special consideration to librarians, writers, ministers, and homebrewers!
