If you're a serious, qualified applicant, please provide a detailed description of yourself, what you're seeking in a rental, and any questions you have. This helps ensure a positive experience for everyone. For out-of-town applicants, I am happy to arrange a video tour via FaceTime, however I will not be at the property until late August. For the right tenant, I am prepared to facilitate a sight-unseen lease agreement. You should have excellent credit and references from past rentals.
Please be aware that the interior spiral staircase is rather narrow!
