This new home, a couple streets up from Waterbury's active Main St, is equipped and convenient. You'll have relaxing front and back porches, a cozy living room, a huge whiteboard, games, energy efficient appliances and spacious bedrooms. You'll find many homey touches and conveniences, and the location can't be beat. Enjoy your choice of outdoor play adventures; skiing, biking, hiking, disc golf, maybe throw in some Ben & Jerry's, then head downtown for some of the best dining around. The space The property is tucked in between several houses and is walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops in town. Although we keep things pretty simple, we live here part time so you'll feel a homeyness you don't always get with rentals. We welcome you to play with whatever you find (Thinking Putty anybody?!), and really sink. All the appliances are energy efficient as well as the heating and cooling system. Fresh air is being circulated throughout the home to help your allergies, and a garden to help your soul ;). In the winter, we have aesthetically pleasing electric fireplaces to help your soul. (And ski mountains.) Guest access You'll have access to the entire house and garden. We have a few clothing items tucked away and some belongings in the basement that should be left alone, but besides that, the place is yours. There are even some things in the basement that you can use if you like. You'll be able to tell which is which, shouldn't be confusing (ex; the balls, mat, balance beam, queen size sleeping pad- that's up for grabs). If you're coming in the summer time, please enjoy any veggies or fruits you see! If you're coming in the winter, try to nordic ski from the house! Other things to note We welcome all pets and want to keep it that way. In order for that to happen, we ask that you have awareness around your pets fur/hair volume, scratching, chewing, making a mess habits, etc. We have a pretty good vacuum for pet hair, but if you know it's going to be a huge burden to clean up, please find other arrangements for your pup. The heating/air conditioning system is efficient and wonderful, if you're downstairs. In summer and winter, the downstairs and upstairs will be different temperatures. I encourage guests to open the windows and use the fans in summer, and we have cute little electric fireplaces in the winter. So if you LOVE it super cold in the summer while you're sleeping, this may not be for you. The washer and dryer are super energy efficient, aka, the dryer takes FOREVER. There are some settings that speed things up, but just FYI. This home is listed as 'sleeps five' but there is not an official fifth bed. The Love Sac or the queen size mattress pad (rolled up in the basement) are used as the fifth sleeping option. Feel free to leave the mattress pad opened after use.
