| Please send message introducing yourself and your housemates. CLOSE TO MSVU! Available May 15 (currently upgrading flooring, doing repairs, and repainting). We are looking for long term tenants while we are posted overseas. Ideally 3+ years, but will consider year to year. Well-kept, with beautiful hardwood floors, new high efficiency central heat pump (low utility costs!), a huge yard, and backing onto an undeveloped ridge; this spacious 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house is conveniently located on a quiet street a short walk to the Bedford highway. 1 block from Rockingham School (rated as the best elementary in the city); 3 blocks from Mount St Vincent University; 1 block to markets and bus routes. 10 minutes to Irving shipyard, 12 minutes to Dalhousie. This is an ideal home for a family, or a couple of graduate students/professionals sharing. There are two separate living rooms (one could be dining) and plenty of room to garden outside. There is also a totally separate two bedroom basement apartment coming available (separate listing, separate laundry, separate electric), so this could be an ideal set up for an extended family situation. _Main House_ Upstairs, there is a master bedroom with 2 large closets, powder room and additional small bedroom/ home office (it’s set up as a sewing room in some of the pictures, and as a bedroom in others). Downstairs has two bedrooms, two living rooms, and an eat-in kitchen. One living room is massive, opens onto the backyard, has skylights and woodstove, and could be divided into living/dining (as you see in some of the pictures). The second living room is beside the kitchen, opens onto the front yard, and could be used as a dining room. If you are two couples sharing, you could each have your own living/dining space. The large yard is perfect for a hammock or outdoor ‘office’. If you’re a gardener, let us know!
