1012 N Busey Ave

Spacious house near Carle Hospital, U of I, Crystal Lake Park, and Downtown Urbana has 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room that can be used as a study or extra living space. Highlights include: Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, central air, and an all-house ceiling fan. The kitchen has a fridge, dishwasher, gas range/oven, and space for a breakfast table. Washer and dryer in the full basement, plenty of storage space. One driveway parking space plus on-street parking availability. Within walking distance to Crystal Lake Park and the Busey Woods trailhead on Coler Avenue. The park is wonderful for walks, runs, and birdwatching. The house is a 12-15 minute bike ride to the University of Illinois, or a five minute walk to the Purple 22 MTD bus line which stops at several points on campus. The Grey 70 MTD bus traveling between Parkland College and Walmart picks up on the corner of the block. It's a couple blocks from Carle Hospital on University Avenue, so no need to bus there! Large fenced-in backyard with two garden beds where volunteers come up every year, so even if you don't plant anything, something will be there! The garden also has space for a compost pile. A previous tenant built a brick fire pit that is perfect for gatherings. There is a cement patio for grilling. The yard is also just a nice place to sit and read and listen to the wind blowing through the trees. Open house scheduled Sunday March 15th from 2:00-5:00 pm. Cats are allowed with a $35 a month pet fee. Previous feline residents loved living here! There is no smoking in the house or on the premises. Tenants are responsible for basic home maintenance (changing furnace filters, cleaning gutters) and lawn care. We do ask for previous landlord contact information to get references.
