Seeking home
3 bedroom home, with garage, garden and preferably fireplace, needed in HNHS school zone (preferably within biking or walking distance). Hopefully before winter.
Needs to be suitable for a cat (house trained ratter).
Farm cottage type of property well suited.
Doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as it’s warm, dry and has all necessary services. And reasonable rent. I’m not looking to pay for someone else’s second home, or be their income source, just needing a home for me and mine, at least until he finishes high school (he starts this year). I don’t want to have to uproot him again. I just want to give him a home he can feel secure in, until he’s ready to go off on his own.
If you have a property that is coming available for rent, please let me know. I have excellent references. I also handle all basic maintenance myself and I have my own carpet shampooer.
