The intro: Have you ever dreamed of living in a place that could be featured in Sunset magazine?? The sort of place that was designed with all manner of custom features, and every minute detail thoughtfully considered? A place with a roof deck!? And where no added investment is necessary, because the owner already (who created an awesome work of art) did, and everything is truly great? If you've answered yes to the above questions, this place will be of interest to you, so read on(!): The story: The place reads like a luxe apartment, but has the setting and benefits of living in a house. I'm the easy-going owner, and live on the first floor. I've been working at realizing this project for years now. Spared no expense and have been making decisions trying to do this the "right way." We're getting super close to completion on this project. Barring any major hurdles from the city, it should likely be ready for occupancy by mid-October. If it's available earlier in October, you get extra (free) time to move in and make yourself at home. That said, there are still (mostly exterior) touches that need to be finished, so I've discounted this accordingly (see "terms" below for details if you're on hotpads), and hope to raise to the full rent in early 2019 once polished. I'm aiming for a friendly feel here at "Haig Haus," and hope to find neighbors of like mind. There's honestly just too much to go over, so I'll leave it here and will hope to go over the rest in person. I welcome a visit to the property, along with any questions you may have. The details: - Designed to high energy standards (Passivehouse being the goal): triple-paned European tilt/turn windows; heaps of insulation; state-of-the-art ventilation system; passive solar orientation - Polished concrete floors with brass inlays - Custom Baltic Birch cabinetry throughout - Venetian plastered bathrooms - Wired for smart home (Ring doorbell, Samsung SmartThings Hub, Lutron Caseta light switches throughout, high speed wireless access points fed with 1Gbps fiber, Cat6 and coax in each room, even pre-wired for in-ceiling speakers)--you could use it, or decide to keep it all shut off. - Mahogany roof deck - Bad-ass, striking modern architecture - Pocket doors with soft open/close, frosted glass, and brass throughout - Smart ventilation system takes care of the thinking: heats in the winter, cools in the summer, constantly brings in fresh air, and even manages humidity - Gobs of well-thought-out storage, with lots of drawers, shelves, and space for your things - Light: the most. Pouring in through HUGE windows. So much sun there are motorized exterior blinds to help control heat gain on crazy sunny days. Recessed lights. Under-cabinet and in-closet lights. West Elm lighting fixtures. - Sweet sweet kitchen designed by a chef: Induction cookery with a real range hood that vents to the outdoors, and convection oven. The quietest dishwasher you've never heard. French door fridge. Coming shortly: - Amazing landscaped yard, prioritizing fruit trees and other edible plants, along with your own personal 8x12 planter box filled with premium soil and watered with drip irrigation - Off-street parking in the driveway - Outdoor backyard shared patio space, with furniture, cooking options, and more Listing price reflects $500 off each month's rent through at least 2018 (would eventually rise to $3450 once exterior landscape work complete). Utilities flat rate of $175/mo includes: water/sewer/electric/garbage/1Gbps internet/garden, etc.
