Yarrow's boutique collection of units are elevating the Ypsilanti renting experience, and this first-floor, gut remodeled unit at our “Summit” property is the pinnacle of Ypsi living. And it is available now! With over 1,000 square feet of fully remodeled, purposefully designed, and tastefully executed living space, this first-floor Normal Park apartment offers an experience of quiet elegance on a peaceful block a short walk from downtown Ypsi. Over the past year, we took this unit down to the studs to reenvision its floorplan and make the most of every square foot. Working with Witten Contracting, Washtenaw County's premiere residential remodeler, we've transformed the unit into a showpiece property. Stepping into the apartment, everything you see — from walls to flooring to electrical to HVAC to windows — is brand new. From your luxury kitchen complete with white shaker cabinets from Ridge Cabinetry and beautiful granite counters, you can look out a set of bay windows onto your own private patio, which we will be fully landscaping this spring. In the living room, beautiful recessed lights and 9-foot ceilings frame a comfortable and expansive living space, with LVP flooring, brand new windows, and a decommissioned fireplace that we've preserved as a tasteful relic of the original unit. More details: - Side door opens onto private patio - In-unit washer/dryer in dedicated closet - Luxury kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and dishwasher - Fully remodeled bathroom with all-new fixtures and plumbing - Brand new central AC system - High ceilings - 13 new, gorgeous windows throughout the unit - 3 light-filled bedrooms with brand new closet systems, flooring and lighting - Ample additional storage in 2 corridor closets - Owner pays for water, lawn care, and snow/ice removal - We love pets! See below! Lease minimum of 12 months. Longer-term tenant welcome. Tenant pays for gas, electric and internet. We love pets! Pets subject to landlord approval, pet deposit, and small monthly pet fee, assessed on a per-pet basis. This unit is part of Yarrow's purposefully small portfolio of residential properties. Yarrow is an Ypsilanti-based real estate firm dedicated to restoring historic homes and ensuring that our pricing remains attainable for current Ypsi residents. Across its four spacious units, The Summit at 717 N Congress offers all the charm you'd expect from an old home with the modern updates and conveniences that Yarrow dependably delivers.
