About this property
Walk Everywhere: Campus, Stadium, and Downtown Restaurants
Walk everywhere from this historic city-center neighborhood just west of Main Street--campus, restaurants, and stadium. This large modernized home offers four-five bedrooms, three with attached full baths that provide private zones for couples and families in your group. Two twin beds may be set up in a large fifth room, the doors of which close for privacy. Enjoy three floors, five bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, an arbor-covered patio, firepit, free safe parking, high-speed wifi, sling TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. The hilly, leafy neighborhood outside, and the smoke-free, pet-free, and dust-mite-free interior create a clean, comfortable accommodation for a family or group. Most bookings are for a weekend; please ask about a third night steep discount for football weekends. Also, note that I do not charge a cleaning fee or collect taxes.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda Bentley
I love being a hostess and sharing my home. I allow guests to rent the house just a few times per year--UM graduation and a few of the football weekends. We moved here in 1992 and raised our children here. We doubled the size of the house in 2000, and I enjoy making continual improvements to it.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is a designated Historic district called the Old West Side. Most of the houses here are more than one hundred years old, are close together, and have front porches. The trees are tall and mature, making for a beautiful, human-scaled sidewalk environment. There are several coffee shops, small restaurants, ice cream shops, and convenience stores within a ten-minute walk, as well as a beautiful steep moraine that rises from the ancient river corridor on the east up to the higher elevations on the west where the original Oak and Hickory forests still shade the 1930's bungalows up there. This hilly topography provides a wonderful walking experience..
What makes this property unique
The house is about 125 years old, with a classic front porch and "gingerbread" trim accentuating its traditional style. We doubled the size of the house in 2000. Unique features of the addition include a farmhouse-style large kitchen with a children's play nook adjacent, two laundry areas, two offices, an open stairwell room, and an oversized upstairs bathroom with an antique bathtub and a sliding wall to the adjacent bathroom. The floorplan allows for walking room to room in a full circle on both the main floor and the upstairs floor. Our house is on a slope, enabling the lower level to open directly to the patio, back yard, and driveway parking under a huge dripping American Elm. Our street has little traffic, large beautiful trees, and cheerful neighbors passing by on the sidewalk.
