Bedroom 2
The bed, dresser, and nightstand stay, although you are welcome to switch to bunk beds instead if needed to share the room. You bring your own bedding, lights, and decorations. Wall art can stay if you'd like. We ask that use existing nails for art if possible, but if you add more, please use small nails or thumbtacks, no sticky hanging methods. To hang anything heavy or large, you must clear it with us. If approved, we will hang it for you to avoid damage to the newly renovated walls.
Bedroom 1
The twin storage bed and desk is included (if desired) and there are ceiling strip lights that provide your room lighting. You bring your own bedding and decorations. Wall art can stay if you'd like. We ask that you use existing nails for art if possible, but if you add more, please use small nails or thumbtacks, no sticky hanging methods. To hang anything heavy or large, you must clear it with us. If approved, we will hang it for you to avoid damage to the newly renovated walls.
Main Bathroom
Like most houses in this area, the main bathroom is small, so you will need to keep most personal items in a portable basket or bathroom bag. The shower is a full size shower that easily fits my 6 ft, 250 lb husband. There is a closet with towels and washcloths. Toilet paper must be single-ply to avoid clogging the older plumbing. There is also a second toilet room in the basement laundry area.
Attic Room
The upper floor is a very large attic room with a large-screen TV, two desks, futon-like couch and lounge chairs that convert to comfortable sleeping space. This room is not on the house furnace, so you have to turn on electric baseboard heat or the window air conditioning unit when you wish to use it, and you must remember to turn them off again when you leave.
Office & Living Room Combo into Kitchen Dinette
Let's go back downstairs and look around the main floor living space. First, you will walk into the office with a sleeper couch, printer (renters pay to replace toner), desk and cabinet. That is connected to the living room with a couch, oversized chair, rocking chair, and TV console.
