529 S Douglas Ave, Springfield, IL 62704

Centrally located beautiful sun-filled upper level duplex. Approximately one mile from downtown,hospitals and one mile from Washington Park. Total interior renovation and all new appliances about 4 years ago. Rent INCLUDES: gas, water, sewer, garbage, recycling and partial electric. Additionally the yard is cared for by us, so you have all the benefits of a large yard but no responsibility. Washer/ dryer in basement shared with downstairs tenants, we pay the electricity for this so no additional costs for laundry. The only additional cost you will have upon living here is electricity for your unit and that averages between $60-$100 per month, depending on your usage. My husband and I live next door and are readily accessible, he does all the maintenance on the building and repairs, if needed, would be done almost immediately. The duplex shares an acre of land with the home we live in. We put in a large garden every year and tenants are welcome to help with the garden or just enjoy the veggies and the land. :) The yard is usually very beautiful by March. There is a pear tree, two peach trees, cherry tree and a couple of young apple trees. Blackberries, raspberries and strawberries grow every year. We have a large compost set up, and provide recycling for our tenants. We have a chicken coop at the far back of the yard so plenty of organic fresh eggs are always available. We love animals so most pets would be ok. But we would need to talk in person. We have 2 very friendly dogs and another tenant also has a friendly dog, plus a few assorted cats...so would mostly just need to check compatibility. The yard is only partially fenced. Stop by and take a look, showings can be held - just need a bit of notice to work out times with our current tenants. This unit is available Starting March 1st, a year lease is preferred, but shorter terms are possible. Deposit required is $1100.00. Entire unit will be repainted and cleaned after current tenants move out. Owner pays: gas, water, sewer, garbage, recycling, partial electric and yard care. Tenant pays for in unit electric.
