| Description: | This
apartment is the left side of a newly remodeled three unit building in
South Scranton. Entering from the street you go up to the raised
front deck with your separate front door, opening to the multi-window,
hardwood living room. Middle room is a dining room with a Tiffany-style
lamp and a Harry Potter under-stair closet. Rear room is a kitchen
with hookups for washer and dryer, plus doors to pantry (with kitchen
sink) and to the rear porch and a large shared backyard, fire pit,
picnic table. The second floor is up the stairs from the living room
into the Plus room (a walk-through bedroom). The Plus room has four
entries, the stairway, the bathroom, a closet, and the master or
primary bedroom. The primary bedroom is a light-filled bedroom with
three tall windows and lots of closets, on the front of the building,
facing the street, the valley, the sunsets.

Special elements of unique character in this apartment include:
- 1) Somehow the kitchen sink is in its own room (pantry?).
Rare but not unique: it works. You can put
dirty dishes there and wash them after the guests leave.
- 2) The bathtub is a square-ish 50" x 27" instead of the
standard 60" x 30"; great for a kid's tub but not for adults to
lie down inside it. As a plumber I've never seen such a thing!
But when I stay here, I discover it's quite nice to take a
shower in it!
- 3) I painted a not-very-artistic but feel-good, sky-and-clouds
ceiling mural over the stairwell. In the morning coming
downstairs with the golden light from the stair-light shining
like a sun-rise behind me, I feel energized and inspired by the
colors and light of this little space.
- 4) Church bells ring nearby every day. It's lovely.
- 5) We are half a block uphill from a year-round
creek, Mountain
Lake Run. So we do sometimes woodchucks and other
wildlife.
- 6) We are a block or two away from McNichols Plaza Elementary
School, so this apartment would be great for parents of
children who attend there.
Parking includes practical street parking (right at your front door), and a less practical, but reserved, off-street, parking space two lots away.
We are extra-tenant friendly: you can add a child, boyfriend, >5-day visitor, etc., for $275/month per additional (i.e., extra tenant's rent is at half price). We will also allow a pet with a $500 pet deposit and $50/month rent for each cat or dog.
To encourage community the back yard has a picnic table space, and a fire pit for hanging out. We hope you will love living here.
Please call text or email to set up a time to visit for a look and to fill out the rental application. We will call references and run a credit check after you give us your signed application, and will reject your application if your MyRental.com score is below 620, so please keep up on your credit.
