Outside this property there are two wonderful areas to spend spring and summer evenings: a beautiful front porch with space for chairs and/or benches for people watching, and a LARGE back patio that is perfect for having barbecues with friends during the spring and summer months, with space to put two tables to seat at least a dozen people while still having room to grill! This is perfect during Illini sports seasons because the Memorial Stadium is a five minute walk; the Assembly Hall (or whatever the new name is!) is about an 8 minute walk. Perfect place to tailgate with friends! There are also two COVERED parking spots behind the house, which significantly improve your quality of life during these long winter mornings because you won't have to spend 5-10 minutes several days a week scraping snow and ice off your windshield. These parking spots are included in the monthly rent of $695 ($347.50 per person). 10-15 minute walk to the bars, restaurants and shopping of downtown Champaign, less than 5 minute drive to DT; it takes less than 30 seconds to walk to the new sports bar Orange and Brew (on the corner of Avondale and Neil Street), which is a great place to meet friends for Illini, Blackhawks, and Bears games and share a few beers...and no need to worry about driving home or leaving your car downtown Centrally located in Champaign so that everywhere in town is just a 10 minute drive from home, including the shopping of North Neil and North Prospect, as well as most of the Eastern side of Urbana and Savoy to the South! Email if you would like to set up a showing I am happy to show the house and answer any questions whenever, just get a hold of me via email!Pets ARE allowed and there is a large yard for them to play in...but the best part is that the landlord is responsible for all lawn-care free of charge! However, there are several plots of tilled soil which can be used privately as garden space for example, I planted flowers in one and some tomatoes and bell peppers in another!The house is unfurnished, HOWEVER: we do have some very unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture (some of it has been built by us, the current tenants, while some pieces are antiques) that we are willing to sell to the incoming tenant. While viewing the house please just mention anything you are interested in purchasing and we can discuss prices!Trash, sewer, recycling are paid to landlord. Tenant will set up water, power, cable/internet on their own.
