Rent this delightful 2.5-bedroom, 1-bath garden cottage, perfectly situated on a corner lot just steps from Waterman Elementary School and Morrison Park on Lee Avenue in Harrisonburg. Located on a corner lot with on-street parking on two sides. A 10-minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants, and a 10-minute bike ride to both JMU and EMU campuses, this house would be ideal for professionals, retirees, gardeners, native plant enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to the heart of town. Built in the 1920s, this 1,182 sq ft home blends vintage character with modern comfort, featuring original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and thoughtful updates throughout. There are two and a half bedrooms upstairs. A third very small bedroom currently serves as a walk-in closet, but has a window and could be used as a small bedroom or guest room. The well-equipped kitchen includes a modern induction stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and generous cabinet storage. The home is heated and cooled with a dual electric/gas HVAC system, and rooftop solar panels help keep utility costs low. Enjoy morning coffee on the cozy front porch (154 sq ft) and summer evenings on the spacious back deck (228 sq ft) overlooking a lush native plant garden. Grow your own organic vegetables in the charming raised garden bed. There is a garden shed, small stone patio, and rain barrels under the deck. The unfinished basement (576 sq ft) features a washer/dryer, large upright freezer, sink, heat pump water heater, shelving, workbench, and a Pittsburgh toilet. 1 year lease with the option to extend. Deposit and first month's rent due at signing. No smoking or vaping inside the house. On-street parking (easily) available. Electric included. Renters responsible for water/trash, gas, and internet/cable. Open to renting furnished, semi-furnished or unfurnished. Open to cats. We currently have two, 7-year old indoor / outdoor cats that we are looking to re-home who would love to stay with the house. :)
