Wonderful apartment for those looking for a quiet, well-
maintained place to live. Available approx March 27 -- please ask.
PLEASE NOTE: Usual rent for this unit would be $735/month, but, since trying to find someone to start in the middle of the regular rental year, rent only $710 for lease through July 2011. Save $$$--100's of dollars.
If lease started in summer, rent will be at $735/month.
Kitchen + Living Room + Bath + 3 other rooms with great
closets. One is a natural as a master bedroom. The other
two could be a bedroom, an office, dining room, or guest
bedroom. Large pantry closet(s).
Floor plans and photos
on website. We are not allowed to list our website here;
so please contact us by phone or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum of two residents permitted
by code.
Excellent options to reduce costs of heating and
cooling. Heat Pump (AC & heat exchanger), FIVE ceiling fans, wall heaters, storm
windows and storm door with screen, zone climate control
possible. You must see this.
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!
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 setting and
easy parking. Convenient to VT, Blacksburg, and also
Radford and Christiansburg. Often 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.
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 and batting cages are on the opposite corner.
It is 1.3 miles to the back of Hethwood subdivision and
the foot of the 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. CAT5 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.
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 and sound proofed between
rooms inside unit as well as between units. Extremely
rare to hear neighbors (or their TV) at all! No dogs
allowed; so no barking, yellow spots or other
“surprises” on the lawns. Nice balcony/covered porch.
Maximum of two people in the unit.
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. 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. We gutted much of the buildings repairing things
with quality materials in a way so they should continue
to appear recently renovated. Definitely not a place for
noisy weekly parties.
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.
Lots and lots of off-street parking for you and your
visitors. 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 E Merrimac Road, Blacksburg, VA.
Anticipate availability by March 15th. However, it
might be available sometime earlier; please ask! We aim
for a minimum of one year leases with the ending dates
being the last week of July; so preference will be given
to people who will commit to a lease through July 2011.
(If you only need to rent through this coming July, we
may need to rent this way, but would rather not have
people moving out shortly after they move in.) Please
ask about the flexibility this landlord builds into the
lease to change the ending date to save residents money.
For example, since current residents are changing jobs
and moving out of the area, they have said we should
list their unit as available right after Christmas.
There is a savings if sign multi-year lease because the
rent will be “locked-in”.
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.
We are not certain which other units will be coming available Summer 2010. All have different floor plans.
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
Thanks.
Forest Edge is a really nice place to live. Please do
check it out.
Thanks for looking!
