6635 NE 22nd Ave, Portland, OR 97211

$1400/mo TOTAL!! No additional fees. Fully finished basement apartment with separate entrance through the side/back yard. One bedroom, one bath, full kitchen with pantry closet, small laundry room with some storage space and top loading washer/dryer provided. Two full egress windows-one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom. Full closet in the bedroom with double doors. The flooring is stained concrete throughout the kitchen and living areas, penny round floor tile in the bathroom with shower (no tub), cork floor in the bedroom. The ceiling height varies between 74" under a short section of duct work that is encased outside of the bedroom (lowest point) to 85" height in the kitchen area. There are just two sections of duct work (the one outside of the bedroom and the one in the kitchen). The variation is due to the floor sloping (unnoticeably) from the south side toward the floor drain on the North side. The majority of the space is roughly 77" in height, so if you're REALLY tall, you might not love this. There is plenty of free street parking by the stairs leading to your entrance, which is keyless. This unit is in the basement of a 1929 house which has been remodeled. The upstairs consists of 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room, kitchen and dining room on the main floor. This bedroom is rented. The top floor consists of one bedroom, an office (both mine) and laundry closet I share with my housemate. The back yard is fully fenced (brand new) and there is a BBQ and some outdoor furniture (table and chairs, resin adirondack style chairs and a fire bowl that I bring out for the nice weather to share if/when burn bans allow. There is a vegetable garden and some established planting and if you like to garden, I'm happy to give up some space dedicated to that. The surrounding gardens are English garden style-beautiful flowers and plants around the front and side of the corner lot. There is a detached, very small garage on the property which is used to store yard equipment and outdoor furniture. You can also store a bike in here. There is not really current space for much storage, but if you have a few items in bins to store, I do have attic space upstairs we could tuck it into. The garage has a keypad entry and is up a VERY steep, short driveway behind the house. We are a very quiet, serene household. We typically wear ear buds, don't watch much TV, keep things on very low volume, have only small and occasional intimate gatherings and due to allergies and other health issues, everyone in the household must adhere to VERY light to no scented (including laundry detergent, lotions, perfumes, candles, cleaning items, etc) because we do have shared ventilation through the house. We have a strict NO SMOKING of anything rule on the entire property and NO PETS allowed (both also due to health and safety reasons). About us-I'm 52, work remotely from home and love to hike, do yoga, cook, garden, travel abroad and local, be in nature in all ways. The main floor housemate is in her mid 30s, works away from the home M-F as a teacher and also enjoys yoga, reading and a clean and quiet space. I am friends with most of the neighbors around us and it's such a great neighborhood. The area is a quiet residential neighborhood and so handy to get to amazing things-highways in all directions out of town or walking to Alberta Park or busy streets for art, food, activity. There is also a "Bike Boulevard" about 4 blocks from us that travels East/West. The house is located a convenient 5 minute walk to the new University of Oregon Campus (formerly Concordia University) and there is a bus stop one block from the house. *NOTE: the MAX train is not close to the house, but the bus can get you there. Both the prior basement tenant and the main floor housemate lived here for nearly 6 years! They both just moved out to move on with their loves to next adventures. My current housemate came in as a short term situation and opted to stay. The current basement tenant decided he sadly feels a bit claustrophobic living in a basement space with his gear and wants to spread out. He just advised me "on your new listing for the apt you should definitely talk up how cool it stays in the summer. I don't think it got above 76 down here during the heat waves. I feel like that's a huge selling feature." He loved living here, but is moving on to a bigger space. *Please note that I'm going to try to include some pictures from the prior tenant's decor and the current tenant's decor and they are vastly different. This unit is available to just ONE tenant. If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out! The space will be vacated on 10/19, cleaned on 10/21 and touch up painting may be required thus I'm listing it available to rent on 11/1/24. It MAY be available sooner. It was fully repainted just a year ago. Rent is $1400 including fiber optic WIFI, all utilities, home security system and use of the shared yard space and outdoor furniture. NOTE: I'm getting spam calls including calls from people claiming to be agents looking for housing for their clients. I will not be calling these #s back. Please tell me a little bit about yourself so I can know you are a live human being and prioritize you. Thank you and good luck out there. The unit is available to rent month to month. I am not interested in really short term renters, so 6 month minimum is asked with 30 days notice to vacate. There will be a background check completed which you are responsible to cover the cost of. (I believe it's about $30-50). We will also sign a rental agreement which will have all the details about policies, expectations. The total monthly payment is $1400. This includes everything-rent, security system, wi-fi and all utilities. There are no extra monthly fees.
