Basic Description: This is an immaculately kept larger single-level home with ample space inside for our long winters, and a brand spanking new septic system in Fall of 2011. The master bedroom can easily accommodate a King size bed, and has two walk-in closets as well as a deep garden tub in the master bath.

There is a large, bright and open living/dining room with bay window, wood stove, a big galley-style remodeled kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances, a large pantry closet and convenient separate laundry area which also acts as an owner entryway off of the back of the garage. 2 additional bedrooms each with walk-in closets and a common bathroom, along with an ample attached, heated 2 car garage, large deck/patio in the fenced back yard, and end-of-road location complete this home.

Rental Terms:
Lease Term:1 year lease is required. Please note that the owner does plan to have this home be a rental for longer than 1 year, however in the state of Alaska, residential leases are only valid for 1 year, so if you are looking for longer-term rental situation, this home is still a good candidate.

Rent: $1445/month and tenant pays all utilities (historical averages for this home are below) Tenant will be required to either remain on fuel auto-fill *including auto-pay* or pay the owner projected fuel use per month (any under/overage to be settled at intervals of 6 months).

Deposits:$1445 security deposit, and a $400 pet deposit PER APPROVED PET.

Pets:The owner will allow up to two dogs or cats, on a case-by-case approval. Pets must have all shots, no bite or property destruction history and must be 100% house-trained to be considered. No pitbulls, dobermans, wolf-hybrids or similarly aggressive breeds will be allowed.

Credit & References: Must be submitted along with rental applications. Credit & Background check will be run on applicants at a cost to applicant of approximately $38.50 per person with different last name or $68.00 for a married parties with the same last name. Although we do check credit, this owner does not necessarily require "perfect" credit if there are other compensating factors and good reasons for past credit record “issues”.

Financial Requirements: Rent may not exceed 1/3 of the tenant(s)combined gross monthly income (so a minimum of +/- $4335+/mo)

Utilities:

Historical heating fuel average is approximately 97g/month (with some wood stove use). The current occupants (past 2+years) are averaging closer to 82g/month with small to moderate amounts of wood stove use). Multiply those usage rates times the fuel prices to get the average current cost. Current price is close to $4/gallon

Electrical bills historically averaged $80-$120/month, however in the past two years with the "fuel surcharge" added by the local electric co-op the averages have been between $130 and $190. Due to fuel prices falling, that "fuel surcharge" has recently been removed (2/09) The water softener uses some salt (+/-$20/month based on amount of water used) and of course tenant phone & cable charges.

Water/Sewer:Water is provided by a private well. If you are not familiar with our area, then be aware that almost all North Pole well water is high in Iron. Sewer is a private septic system.

Drive-by Instructions:Take Richardson Highway towards North Pole, go past the overpass, take next Hwy exit (R), left under overpass then right onto Mistletoe (aka the frontage road) then turn L on Laurance, then L on Nelson, then L on Bumpy, then the 2nd right on Templeton. Home is at end of the cul-de-sac, with a circular drive.
