APARTMENT FOR RENT AT 1113 SKIDAWAY ROAD IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
This apartment is located in
Eastside Savannah directly across the street from the historic
Gordonston subdivision on the corner of Skidaway Road and East Duffy St. It is a
studio/efficiency apartment which means it’s basically an open floor plan. It
has its
own separate address at 1113 Skidaway Road. And separate electric and water
meters.
Its exterior is wood and is painted pale blue. A highly significant point about
this apartment
is its location in an older, safe, established neighborhood of residential
homes. It is
on a street of home owners who are settled, stable citizens.
The rent is $520.00 monthly and the security deposit is $520.00.
My name is Jack Wegener and
I own this property and also reside in the main house
at the front of the property. I have been renting the apartment to nice people
since
1980 when I purchased the entire property. I will
offer an initial 3-month lease so
a tenant can determine if
he/she likes the place and the
neighborhood.
To inquire about renting please call
912-238-5066.
The apartment is at the back
of a larger section of property I live on at 1115 Skidaway
Road. My main house was built circa 1920. At the back of that house is a separate
two
story building. The ground floor is brick and was constructed at the same time
as the
main house in 1920. In the 1960s the apartment was added above the ground floor
space
with a metal staircase for access. Its utilities are not tied to the space below it. That
space is
on my utility meters but no one lives in it. It is not a rentable space. No one
lives below
or adjacent to the upstairs apartment. This contributes to the quiet and privacy
of the
tenant. There is a private driveway from Duffy Street exclusively for a tenant's
use. The
driveway goes from the street to close to the metal staircase leading to the apartment
door.
The apartment
features an alcove space (4 x 6 ft) inside the
front entrance door, then
one long main room (23 x 15 ft) with a kitchen area toward the rear. This
kitchen area
has a stove/oven, double sink with water
purifier, counter space, cabinets, and
frost free refrigerator.
Off of the main room through a door at the left is a
smaller room (6 x 9 ft) which has
shelves and closet space and a wall mirror. Off of that room through another
door is
the bathroom with tub/shower, sink, toilet, and medicine cabinet.
The total square footage of the apartment is approximately 470 sq. ft.
There is a window air
conditioner with built-in heater. It was purchased new in
2008. The kitchen and bathroom were renovated in 2003. A 4-burner stove
with oven was purchased new in 2007. A new water heater was installed in 2008.
A new floor was installed in November 2011. The apartment is cable-ready. Everything is
electric.
In the main room there are
three total windows. Each has venetian blinds. The
fourth window in the apartment is in the bathroom. The walls are made of real
wood.
The ceiling is acoustic tiles. There is a light on the outside above the
entrance door. And
on Duffy Street directly opposite the entrance to the tenant's driveway there is
a
city street light that comes on each day at dusk.
The tenant is responsible
for the electric and water bills to the apartment. If cable is
desired that too is the tenant's bill to pay.
The apartment is located in
a quiet, older neighborhood of residential homes with lots
of trees and shrubbery and sidewalks. There is a
small yard area alongside the driveway
for the tenant’s use, and flowers or
vegetables can be planted there if so desired. It is in
a very quiet location. I myself chose
to live in this area when I purchased this
property
in 1980 and have been here 34 years.
This apartment is ideally
suited for someone wanting privacy and peaceful quiet.
It is for SINGLE OCCUPANCY only.
My name is Jack Wegener. I've
been a professional fine art photographer of women
since 1975. My credentials can be verified online. I have an impeccable
reputation as
a photographic artist, and there is not one negative word against my long history as a landlord.
I never disturb my tenants.
Sometimes months go by without our seeing or talking to
each other. I am not anti-social; but I respect a tenant's privacy. Most tenants
slip the rent payment check under the door of the main house each month and I
send them a receipt by e-mail or place a paper receipt in the apartment
mailbox. I am, of course, available should any repairs be necessary or questions
to be asked. But I have never intruded in a tenant's life. My life's work is my
photography and that is where much of my time is focused.

the apartment are four shopping centers. They contain a Kroger
