9725 NW Leahy Rd Unit Lower

Wonderful location in Cedar Mill with one acre forested backyard, the best school district in the area, and surprisingly accessible public transportation close by. This is the large (~1800 sq ft) daylight basement lower unit of a huge house, and features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one with bathtub. There is complete separation of the two units and multiple independent entrances to this rental, as well as separate parking lots. The current tenants have been there six years, and the top unit has had the same renter for five. The most noteable feature of this unit is that it opens into a forest. It is quiet with some occasional wildlife and a feeling of being away from the city but still in close in terms of access to highway and the shops of cedar hills. This is a short commute to Nike or St Vincent's hospital, and it is quite convenient do a NW Portland commute via Cornell or Barnes if not Hwy 26. Will allow a dog, assuming it is well bathroom-trained and not a frequent barker. I pay for water, gas, and garbage. Electricity is split with the upstairs tenant. Though there is some shade because of the trees in the yard, there is possibility for a garden space or similar if the tenant is interested. If it turns out to be a good fit, I will want a credit and background check and will use the online application before signing a lease. But let's discuss before you spend any money on any services. There may be some flexibility with move in dates as current tenant is just waiting till I find someone else to move in so she can move in with another friend elsewhere. I am looking for a six month lease to start.
