Address: 1849 C Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road. Great Neighborhood! Stroubles Mill/Hethwood is across the street. Woods, stars, and wildlife are at your back door. Quiet, peaceful, lots of parking, recent very thorough renovation with much concentration on safety, durability, and making places where residents would be happy and want to stay. We work hard to maintain our units as pet and smoke allergen free. This unit is in a wonderful location. We have lots of pictures and the floor plans posted on our website, but you need to call or e-mail (office@FORESTs-EDGE.com) us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here. Real Oak floors! Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counter-space. Two walk-in closets with flexible shelves and rods. Could be used for a desk, play area, or nursery, they are so big! All hardwood floors or nice vinyl. Versatile floor plan. Hardwired Ethernet/TV/Telephone to all rooms. Comcast broadband cable runs to a router; so you are not charged for each connection separately! Our 2.5 acre property has lots of parking for you, your neighbors and everyone's visitors! There is a small house. The four unit apartment building has two units per floor on the upper two floors with a laundry room and landlord’s storage on the bottom floor. There is plenty of room to store bicycles, canoes, and other outdoor equipment. 1849 C has views from all rooms. Looking East and to the back are trees, one small house next door (East), and, to the front, lawns and a view over Stroubles Mill neighborhood's large homes on Tall Oaks Drive right across the street (the back of Hethwood). 1849 is located on a hillside; so it is tough for anyone to look in! All the walls in the building were opened during the recent renovation; so all plumbing and electrical is in very good to excellent (brand-new) condition. Renovations have been done with permits and government inspectors. We worked hard to make all our units as if we or our own children would be living in them. The sound-proofing is amazing, between units and within the unit as well. It is very rare to hear a neighbor or even your roommate. Rarely will you hear a car door slam. More likely you will be awakened by the wildlife in the acres of woods. Close the door to your bedroom and you will not hear most sounds --- even in the rest of your apartment ---as there is soundproofing insulation in virtually all the walls and ceilings. Also, due to the insulated interior walls, by closing doors you can heat just one room or keep rooms at different temperatures so everyone is comfortable. Each room has its own thermostatically controlled 220v heater with fan; so each room can heat up quickly and stay that way very efficiently as its own little zone, if you close the door. There are reversible ceiling fans in every room and zone heating; so the electric bills can be kept incredibly low with little effort. AC has not been used in this unit for years, as the residents choose not to turn on their AC units because the fans are so effective. Plus all summer the large oak trees provide lots of shade and the cool air comes in from the forest. In winter, the leaves are gone and the sun's angle is so low that all winter it is bright in this unit. There are many more pluses to the rental units offered at Forests Edge. You likely will find it worth taking a look. Each floorplan is different; so please check out our website as well. Please call (540-961-0138) or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com for an appointment. We only own 9 rental units and manage them ourselves. You will not be a "number" to us. We try hard to make our residences nice enough that our residents renew, and most do.Our residents frequently renew because they like how well we maintain our units and how quickly we respond when they contact us. Most stay with us for all the years they are renting in Blacksburg! Refrigerator (large side-by-side), stove, dishwasher, microwave. Mini-blinds on all windows. 1849 C can have up to two residents due to the zoning regulations. Only a maximum of 12 people may reside on the 2.5 acres (4 in the house plus 2 in each of the units in the four-unit apt building). There is much more off-street parking than would be used if we had 12 residents and each one had a car. Usually the buildings are fully-occupied, and, still, we only have around 9 or 10 residents with only around 7 cars total. So your friends would be able to find a space to park, if you lived at Forests Edge. No hangtag, parking stickers, or visitors' passes needed! The laundry room has a nice front-loading washer and dryer. No need for coins, and you can safely leave your detergent on the shelf. Leave the dryer lint, heat and machine noise outside your quiet apartment. There is a reasonable monthly charge (less than the cost to run the machines), if you would like to use the on-site laundry. This is a non-smoking building. Also, there is no smoking on the balconies or near the building where the smoke can enter through open windows. Since we own the building, we are able to offer smoke free air when you relax on the large balconies watching the deer and birds or enjoying the night sky. Our residents enjoy smelling flowers and the forests all day and night long. The building is located at the edge of Hethwood and behind it is nothing but hills and farms. It gets spectacularly dark when the motion-sensor security lights are not tripped on. The stars and the moon seem to be much closer here than in the rest of Blacksburg because they appear so bright! The bike path to VT and the rest of Blacksburg is right across the street. Radford and Christiansburg (as well as Blacksburg) are very easy to access from this location. The hospital is just down the road. Please do check Forests Edge website for a map. The small apartment building is easy to find by taking Prices Fork Road and turning onto Merrimac Road. Enjoy the expansive view over the beautiful Wall Farm, rather than dealing with traffic, stop signs and lights as your friends do when they go home. From Prices Fork Road, it is only one and a third miles to the three story white building. You can pull right into the large, usually mostly empty parking area. It is actually quicker to get here than to most places that seem "closer" to campus. (Try it!) Plus it is soooooo nice and peacefully quiet. It's pretty quick by bicycle (bike path) to most of VT and Blacksburg. Blacksburg Transit bus stop is a few blocks up Tall Oaks Drive. PLEASE ASK WHETHER WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE AVAILABLE. ALL OF OUR UNITS ARE VERY QUIET & HAVE LOTS OF PARKING! Please come by! See you soon, I hope. 540-961-0138 One of our goals is always to not have to keep any of any renter's deposit for damage or cleaning; so we are providing durable units designed to handle human occupancy and be able to clean. 95+% of our residents have nothing taken out for damage because our units are finished with durable materials and our residents tend to take care of the units. We love animals (one of us is a veterinarian and we both have been actively involved in wildlife rescue), but in our rental units they must be in cages or aquaria and not be heard outside the unit, even with the windows open. This way they do not disturb other residents or damage the apartment. It also makes it possible for our renovated units to be promoted as pet allergen-free. We keep a list of any caged critters who have lived in our units; so people allergic to furry critters or birds will know what has been allowed in the specific unit. Our pet policy: No uncaged pets. No pets capable of making noise that can be heard outside the unit even with the windows open. No outdoor pets as we actively encourage wildlife. Many of our residents like to have bird feeders and to play on the lawns and plant plants in the gardens which is not compatible with walking dogs or free-ranging introduced predators such as cats. This makes it possible to live in our four unit building and not have to listen to your next door neighbor's dog bark or parrot scream, even rarely. All pets must be well-cared for. All pets must be reported to management. There is a reasonable pet fee for some species, and it is important for the pet's safety that management know of their existence to avoid injury due to chemicals, etc. used during repairs or other maintenance. Our units are designed to be durable when lived in by humans who take reasonable care of the unit. Toe nails and teeth cause damage which requires expensive repairs. We repair between tenants so that the units look as unpatched as possible, which is why we have used materials designed to withstand normal wear and tear by humans who take reasonable care of the unit. The paint, woodwork and cabinets are pretty durable, but will not withstand even occasional assaults by claws and teeth. The flooring is pretty tough requiring only routine vacuuming, mopping, and/or sweeping to remove grit to minimize scratching, gouging, and other deterioration but is not designed to withstand muddy paws and claws or pet "accidents." Many people move to our units for the peace, quiet, and beauty. Pet damage devalues units and makes them less appealing to prospective renters so it must be removed so that it appears to have never been there. Repairing pet damage is usually labor and money intensive and rental deposits generally do not cover it. Please do not ask if you can bring in dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, etc. Your references for your pet may be stellar, but accepting a species known to be noisy or to cause damage will make it difficult to say "no" to another pet like it. Also, people with allergies to pet dander seek out our properties since they are rare in Blacksburg. Offering pet and smoke allergen free units is a large part of our reputation. Also, they are very quiet, are maintained as if they were recently renovated and very clean. It is impossible to charge a sufficient deposit to cover the costs of pet damage to units maintained as well as ours are. Thank you for your understanding as to why we can not make exceptions to allow your beloved pet if it does not fit our guidelines.

Very quiet. Lots of storage. Ample kitchen with pass through to living room. Nice cabinets. Patio. Ground Floor. Solid masonry construction; so sound does not pass from unit to unit or room to room. Not a complex which welcomes partiers; so very quiet. Please no smoking. No uncaged or pet capable of being heard outside the unit even with the windows open is permitted in any of our units. This means there are no random pet odors to surprise you when the unit is closed up for the winter and the heat comes on. We try hard to provide quiet for the neighborhood; so even certain birds are not permitted. Also, we keep a pet history on all our units since renovations so we can advise people with allergies as to what has lived in the unit recently. Water/sewer/trash included. Virtually brand new front loader washer/dryer. There is a booster fan on the dryer and ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom to assist you in saving money on electricity. Ethernet/cable TV avail. Verizon DSL and Comcast service available. Owner manages this unit and has several other units to offer. Most residents renew with us, if they are continuing to rent in Blacksburg. We try to treat everyone as individuals. We hope that people who rent our units will take care of our residences, pay the rent on time, and be respectful of the neighbors. In return we try hard to maintain our units and provide a quiet neighborhood with lots of parking and nice views.

Typical of the units we offer, 1849 D is a great, efficiently laid out apartment for those looking for a quiet, well-maintained place to live where the landlord tries hard to make sure the residents are content. Most of our residents renew year after year! Likely this unit will be available late May 2012. All leases end late in July, but we try to assist people in not having to pay for an empty unit. Our units open up randomly throughout the year, and we assist our residents by posting their units as soon as they let us know they are moving and will no longer need the residence. The majority of our residents renew year after year and move only when they no longer need a rental residence in the Blacksburg area. Kitchen + Living Room + Bath + Master Bedroom + another bedroom/study Unique flexible closets near kitchen. IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum of two residents permitted by code. Floor plans and more photos on website. We are not allowed to list our website here; so please contact us by phone 540.961.0138 or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com Hint: our website name is very similar to our e-mail. Excellent options to reduce costs of heating and cooling. FOUR ceiling fans, wall heaters, storm windows and storm door with screen. PLUS: zone climate control possible as there are individual heaters with blowers in each room AND the walls of each room are insulated. Great views from ALL windows. We provide blinds but you probably will not want to close them! It would be very hard for anyone to see in since you look down a hill and over the top of Blacksburg clear over to the mountains! Top floor unit. You will be living across the street from the large homes in the Stroubles Mill portion of Hethwood subdivision. While only a 10-15 minute walk from Foxridge; you will be enjoying a tranquil, country setting and very easy parking. Convenient to VT, Blacksburg, and, also, Radford and Christiansburg. Usually quicker to come home and park than if live in Hethwood because there is no traffic, stop signs nor need to hunt for a parking space! Only 15-20 minutes by bike path to the middle of VT campus. 15 min to NRV Mall and Wal-Mart. 5 minutes to the supermarket. 8 minutes to hospital. BT bus a few blocks walk. EZ bike ride via the bike trail to Kipps Elementary and the Blacksburg Middle School. To find: Take Prices Fork Road. Go one block from Food Lion and the Fire Station. Just past Kipps Elementary and the Blacksburg Middle School, turn Left onto Merrimac Road. Cox's miniature golf, driving range and batting cages are on the opposite corner. It is 1.3 miles to the back of Hethwood subdivision and the foot of our driveway for 1849 and 1855 Merrimac Road. On website there is a map and, even, aerial photos of Blacksburg showing the location of our rental properties. Large Ceiling fans in all rooms. CAT-5 and TV Cable to all rooms. High speed cable available. New wiring, new plumbing. Wired in smoke detectors. Thick firewalls. Extensive renovations done with close involvement by building inspectors. Carpeting is thoroughly, professionally cleaned between tenants and we insist that stain protection (eg Scotchguard) is applied so it will be easy to keep the carpeting looking nice. Most places provide cleaned carpeting but do not bother with the stain protection. To us this is an essential part of maintaining our residences! Yes, there is a dishwasher! Yes, there is undercabinet lighting and there are lights in the closets. Yes, there is a microwave. Yes, there is a doorbell, deadbolts and security lighting. (However, if you forget to lock your door, it is highly unlikely you need to worry.) No, you won’t need to bring a large mirror, since there are mirrors built-in. The amount of built-in kitchen storage will surprise you. Flexible closet space. Place to store bicycles out of the weather under the porch. Do you have a canoe? If so, there is plenty of room to store it too! Please come see how many nice amenities we have put in Forests Edge. County Water included. Low heating bills because zoned heat and all walls insulated. Sound proofed between rooms inside unit as well as between units. Extremely rare to hear neighbors (or their TV) at all! Definitely not a place for noisy weekly parties. Nice balcony/covered porch where you can sip your morning coffee or relax in the evenings looking at the stars. Yes, there is a place set aside for your barbecue grill Non-smokers only. No smoking on porches so you can enjoy fresh air from the square miles of open fields and woods just off the balcony or Keep your windows open! Much wildlife to watch. Bird lovers, check out this location! Explore the woods outside your door; yet, be across the street from the largest established subdivision in Blacksburg. Best of both worlds! Birds hovering around bird feeders have been the loudest critters on the premises! Most well-cared-for, caged pets are welcome. A policy of no uncaged (so no urine smells in the carpeting or scratches on walls, doors or cabinets) or noisy pets (examples: loud parrots or barking dogs) helps us to maintain the tranquility and cleanliness of our units. Basically no critters permitted who are capable of being heard outside with the windows open. We gutted much of the buildings repairing things with quality materials in a way so they should continue to appear recently renovated. No, you won't have to worry that a previous resident cat or dog left surprise smells behind since no uncaged pets have been permitted since extensive renovations. No dogs allowed; so no barking coming from the next unit and no yellow spots or other “surprises” on the lawns from residents' pets. Allergy sufferers: Since no smoking or uncaged pets since renovations, this has eliminated many common allergens! We want residents to be happy and to renew year after year (most of our residents do); so we try hard to keep our promise of trying hard to provide a nice place to live undisturbed by neighbors’ noise. There are lawns and woods to enjoy. If you like to garden, let us know! We are still working on them and enjoy the help. We have renovated the properties inside and out. Forests Edge is like a small neighborhood. Only a maximum of 8 residents in the entire four-unit building and 4 residents in the house on the same 2.5 acres. Landlord tries hard to make residents comfortable. Most of our residents renew year after year. Lots and lots of off-street parking for you and your visitors. Optional: Less-than-cost monthly fee for use of very, very clean laundry room on-site with like new front-loading washer and dryer. No coins needed. Optional: Comcast serves this area. Hard-wired jacks for Internet (CAT-5), telephone and TV to LR and both bedrooms. Please look at our website to see more images of the unit. Click on the picture of the white building to get to photos and floor plans. All the photos will give you an idea about the premises. Specific photos of each unit say the unit’s name in the caption. This unit is 1849 D Merrimac Road, Blacksburg, VA. Multi-year leases: There is a savings if sign multi-year lease because the rent will be “locked-in”. Please ask about the flexibility this landlord builds into the lease to change the ending date to save residents money. For example, we list units as available as soon as residents tell us when they plan to move out. Generally we save people much rent money because we are usually able to find someone to sign a lease to move in close to the time the vacating tenants would like to vacate the unit. Due to the economy and sudden changes in plans, units may suddenly come available at any time. All have different floor plans, 2-3 BR units. Please ask about them as well. Routinely we assist people to find someone to start the next lease early when people graduate or change jobs in May or December. It has been a bizarre year with people suddenly needing to relocate at unusual times. Fortunately, they have rented with us since we are willing to work with them to minimize the costs! Please visit our website for lots of pictures and floorplans. Again, please contact us to get the website address. You can email us at office@FORESTs-EDGE.com Hint: our website is very similar to our e-mail address Forest Edge is a really nice place to live. Please do check it out. All our units are in quiet locations, are well-maintained and have lots of parking. Thanks for looking!
