Furnished basement studio with private entrance Foster-Powell $1,300/month (utilities included)
Hi, I'm Mark. I'm renting out a 700 sq. ft. furnished basement studio in my 1929 bungalow in the Foster-Powell neighborhood. It's ideal for someone working full-time or visiting Portland short-term traveling nurses, business travelers, interns, and others looking for a private, move-in-ready space are all welcome.
About the space:
Private entrance on the side of the house
Fully furnished:
Queen bed surrounded by floor-to-ceiling curtains for privacy
Recliner, coffee table, kitchen table and chairs
Two large wardrobes and a big dresser for clothing
Dishes, cookware, cutlery, towels, etc.
58" 4K smart TV + electric fireplace with heat
Open studio layout (no walled-off bedroom)
Large private bathroom (~100 sq. ft.) with full-size washer/dryer (used by me occasionally for bulky items)
Radon mitigation system (silent, always on)
Strong water pressure, modern plumbing, excellent lighting and outlet setup
Fast internet (included)
Extras:
Fenced backyard with new covered deck (shared space welcome to garden, BBQ, relax)
Shared storage space in detached garage
Great location: bars, food carts, cafes, and grocery stores nearby (WinCo, Safeway, Trader Joe's, Shun Fat, etc.)
#9 bus line ~150 feet from the house, downtown ~5 miles away
Dogs okay with approval must be house-trained and social. I have a 4-year-old German shepherd, Viggo, and sometimes dog-sit.
A heads-up:
This is a basement, so you'll hear some muffled sound from upstairs totally manageable for most, but probably not great for light sleepers
$1,300/month for a single tenant (includes all utilities + internet)
$600 deposit, plus $300 pet deposit if applicable
Month-to-month lease, available starting mid-July to Aug. 1
Viewings begin in July
About me: I'm a 43-year-old photojournalist and writer quiet, social, and into big dinners and movie nights. I've lived in Portland since '91 and the neighbors are great friendly, helpful, and dog-loving.
