Basic Description: This is a 3Br 2.5Ba downtown Fairbanks home with a Seattle-esque classic design & features. Just 4-6 blocks from most downtown restaurants, stores, coffee house, banks, & more. Parking is on the street and there is an exterior headbolt outlet for winter plug-ins the timer for which is controlled inisde the home (and in case you are from a big city, there's not typically any competition for at least 2 spots right in front of the house--often 3).
Floor plan: This home has 3 levels. The main level (middle story) is comprised of the large front & rear arctic entries, living room, small dining, separate kitchen, & full bath. On the lower level, there is a large laundry room, smaller 3rd bedroom, extra kitchen-ette with small range/oven, double sink and refrigerator, full bath, and den/office/gear room (which is actually the rear foyer, but is plenty large to use as a room). The upper level has two quite large bedrooms for the age of the home, 1 with a half bath.
Rental Terms:
Lease Period: Lease required through Summer, 2010 (lease-end date is flexible within summer months).
Rent: $1195/month + tenant pays all utilities --which leads us to....average utility costs--->
Avg Utility Costs Summary:
Fuel: At current fuel costs of about $2.30/gallon, the historial average monthly usage comes out to a surprisingly low $165-184/month. (This home due to TONS of energy upgrades including windows, doors, added insulation, a new boiler, etc has along term history of using only about 70-80 gallons/month of fuel oil!) And the owner handles fuel deliveries, so you don't have to keep track and fuel payments by collecting with rent so that they are much more even (cost-wise) on a month to month basis.
Electric:The owner’s average electric bills from 2007-2008 averaged just over $100/month (with 2 working adults, 2 infants and at least 1 full time caregiver at home every day)
Water/Sewer:City Water & Sewer average cost of +/- $70-120/mo--again based on usage. (for a 3 adult and two infant/toddler household)

The home is very clean, very comfortable, has lots of privacy in the yard due to the large hedge & fence, has had enormous energy upgrades within the past several years and has all appliances.
Background Check: Credit & Background check will be run on applicants at a cost to individual applicants of $45.00 ($65 for married with same last name). Although we do check credit, we do not require "perfect" credit if there are other compensating factors and good reasons for past credit record “issues”.
