Floor plans

2BR/1.0BA2 bed1 bath936 sqftwww LiveInWestCentral com 2 bedroom lower in Downtown in West Central. Large brick building on a quiet street just around the corner from Moody Park and 2 blocks away from the tennis courts in Swinney Park. Beautiful restored 100 year old hardwood flooring throughout. Very large living room with stained oak pillars and book shelves separating it from the dining room. Both bedrooms are small by 2011 standards, I am sure they were fine for the 1890's. Please understand that the bedrooms are small compared to what you and I are used to. Really? I personally wouldn't want to live in this as a 2 bedroom for a pair of unrelated roommates. It would be fine, but it is an awesome space for a single or a couple where you can create a massive Master Bedroom suite. One of the bedrooms has a huge walk in closet. Large dining room leads to the kitchen. The kitchen has a gas stove and pantry. The unfinished basement is spectacular for West Central, very usable. Laundry Hookups in the basement. On street parking. Up to 2 cats or a reasonable dog are welcome with a one time $200 pet fee, and an additional $20 per pet each month. Additional pets are $100 pet fee and $20 a month. Tenant pays Gas, electric, and $25 a month for Water/Sewer. The ideal candidate(s) will have a minimum credit score of 650, no active collections, no felonies, no violent charges of any kind, zero evictions, and have a (combined) Net or take home (IN YOUR POCKET after taxes) income of 3 (Three) times the posted rent. If you do not qualify traditionally, you may use a well qualified and collectable co-signer or put down 2 months of rent as an additional deposit. If you have any questions on the process, please see the listing "Get Pre-Approved..." for more notes.
