    What's special

    Open studio layoutPrivate entranceFloor-to-ceiling curtains for privacy
    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. Interested? Shoot me a message with a bit about yourself and your timeline. See above.
