Rentals often suffer from lack of curb appeal or stuck-in-the past interiors. Don’t worry; this Rose Hill home has neither!
The exterior spaces are abundant, inviting lots of playtime for kids of all ages, but the fenced yard is a huge perk for the safety of pets and kids. The mature neighborhood offers plenty of tree coverage, which is a gorgeous sight to see during autumn months while the abundance of shade is an energy saver during the summer.
Inside, 2,200 square feet houses plenty of area for each family member to call a bit of space of their own. This includes a walkout finished basement. For those concerned about traffic or work commutes, seriously consider this location. You’ll have easy access to Metro stops, expressways, and quick trips to local grocery stores and shopping. An in-demand parks and rec center is nearby, allowing plenty of time for after school activities.
