Ritchie 9924-81 Ave

Entire house for rent.

AVAILABLE JULY 1

Conveniently located off 99th street and Whyte avenue, this dwelling allows easy and quick access to downtown, the University of Alberta, and the shopping and nightlife of the Old Strathcona Arts District.

You’ll adore the charm of this lovely character home, from its original hardwood floors and rounded entries to the decorative fireplace, and will be equally pleased with the splash of modern living from funky fixtures to familiar conveniences such as the dishwasher and microwave. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, including a master with walk-in closet. A bright, south-facing living room and entry, large dining space, full bathroom, and fresh paint throughout, complete the main level.

Entering the basement you’ll find all new cork flooring in the living room and bedroom, a newly renovated bathroom with plenty of shelving, a kitchenette, a shared laundry room, and remarkably generous storage areas with new linoleum flooring. You can use the basement living room as an additional bedroom and share the whole house or choose to sub-lease the entire basement suite to significantly decrease your monthly payments.

Moving outdoors, this property offers a large, shaded backyard with apple trees, raspberry bushes, and flower beds. There is access to a rear, uncovered parking area for one vehicle and the garage may be available to rent separately for $75 per stall. Please inquire for availability.

Tenant is responsible for utilities and lawn and sidewalk maintenance. A lawn mower is available with a $100 deposit. Small pets considered.

Exclusions and tenant responsibilities:

• Tenants are responsible for shoveling the walks in winter and mowing the lawn in summer. A lawn mower and snow shovel are provided.
• Only small pets considered and smoking is permitted outdoors only.
• The garage is not included. If available, monthly fee is $75 / half garage.
• Tenant is responsible for all utilities (hookups and payment with Epcor and Direct Energy Regulated Services).

Top five reasons why you should consider this house:

• Fantastic location, one block away from all of the amenities you find on Whyte Avenue
• Basement has it's own kitchenette and bathroom, so you could sublease to friends that would prefer their own space.
• There is a back yard with ample privacy and suitable for a firepit, etc.
• You don't need to own a car if you live here. You can bus anywhere in the city quickly. e-scooters are everywhere.
• House was built in the late 40's and many of it's unique features still exist, such as hardwood floors and fir doors. Mechanical has all been upgraded to current code.

Reasons why this house might not be for you:

• The yard requires regular lawn mowing and maintenance.
• Parking may be insufficient if everyone owns a vehicle.
• It's an older house. If you like new, then this house isn't it.
• Whyte avenue is a busy Edmonton street with festivals, restaurants and nightlife. The area is teeming with vibrancy and character. If you prefer quiet and seclusion, then this location may not be a perfect fit.

If the above reasons aren't a problem for you, please contact us to arrange a viewing.
