13 Melvin Ave

Step back in time to luxury living in a 100-year-old mansion. Enjoy the old school details (high ceilings, detailed trim work and warm natural gas fired radiator heat) but with all the modern conveniences of a newly remodeled unit. The residence is ideally located for walking access to historic Catonsville but is on a private lane off a quiet street. This home features 2 spacious bedrooms, a remodeled full bath, a large living room, a kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, fixtures and appliances, and a large private patio for entertaining and outdoor dining. The apartment is occupied now. The entire first floor apartment has been updated. This home is just a 3-block walk to historic district of Catonsville's many restaurants, unique boutiques and Friday evening concerts. It's just 5 minutes to I-695 or the Lurman Theatre and 7 minutes to UMBC and CCBC. The free to students bus to UMBC and CCBC has a stop just 4 blocks away. Outdoor adventures (picnics, hiking, playgrounds, kayaking and the river) are 7 minutes away at the Patapsco Valley State Park. The school district is highly desirable. Skip the apartment complex and corporate landlord. You'll talk directly with a responsive owner. This home is just one of 4 apartments with friendly, long-term residents in the mansion. Ample parking is free and available on the property. The owner pays for recycling & trash pickup, water and sewer service. The tenant pays directly for separately metered natural gas, electric and internet services. The laundry room with a new washer and dryer is steps away in the adjacent building. The lease is flexible for twelve month or longer. A first month rent and an equal security deposit is due at lease signing. The apartment is available for rent on December 1 or later. Initial showings are scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, November 16. Please phone the owner with your questions and to schedule an appointment. Other showing dates are available by appointment. A Zillow application (which provides credit, rental history and background information) is required after you see the apartment. The Zillow fee is $35 and is good for applications on this and other properties for 30 days. This is a non-smoking unit. Free parking for 2 cars is available on the property. Pets are allowed on an individual basis with an additional non-refundable pet deposit or monthly pet rent.
