5539 Dunham Rd, Downers Grove, IL 60516

Listing for my mother: Lease length is negotiable-- we have had some bad luck in the past with rent paid on time, so we will start with a short lease, fully expecting to extend it as long as rent has been paid faithfully. THis house is amazing, in a lovely neighborhood where you can walk to town/train. Wonderful neighbors. We are hoping to find a renter who has a green thumb-- the lot has so much potential and used to yield amazing flowerbeds and wonderful landscaping, which needs to be brought back to life. Discount for someone who works extra on the flowerbeds regularly! (mowing and snow removal is an expected and necessary job that the renter covers- but for extra such as planting and maintaining beds we can give a discount on rent those months). This is a 3 bedroom house, but one bedroom currently holds all my mom's furniture: We perfer to rent as a FURNISHED home and we may be able to open up the 3rd bedroom for you. There is a full finished basement that has a full row of windows and a walk out area onto a lower patio, and a utililty room down there as well. There can be access to a 3rd bathroom if we can move out the furniture in the master bedroom. THere is a lovely 3 season screened in/glassed in porch off the back for nature lovers who want to sit among the trees and birds and watch the wildlife. BAckground check and references required. Ideally we are hoping for a retired couple who enjoys gardening /yardwork or a single person or couple who can keep up with simple/little maintenance issues that may pop up on the home. Renter pays all utilities. Lease length is negotiable. Short term leases also possible. Under 2 months rent is 3200 a month.
