I'm out of the Navy on November 8th. As of now, I have not found work locally, and am considering taking a job in Peoria, IL which will leave my beach house unoccupied. Trying to judge if there is any interest in people renting it.
The basics:
It's on Willoughby Spit, which is the spit of land where Eugene Ely made the first landing after taking off from a boat in Hampton Roads.
It's on a "double lot" with a house behind it, but no street, and deeded access. There is a bay view from back yard/master bedroom/kitchen.
2br/1ba 1000 square feet, large 1 car garage.
There is a 11x8 Florida Room that is heated/aabout:homePir conditioned that is not part of the 1000 square feet.
50x150 lot, 3/4 of the back yard is fenced in.
Place to park boat/jetski/trailer in back yard (can't be forward of house due to city zoning), but anything larger than a 19' boat is going to be tough to get in. I can get my 23' Stingray in, but it's TIGHT making the turn with a F-250.
Hardwood floors throughout except Bath and FL Room are tile, Kitchen is Linoleum.
Most of the house looks like it's in a time warp from 1954, except the kitchen which is the "thing that came from the 80s"
Property has not flooded since it was built in 1954. Worst during all the storms has been about 2" of water in the driveway, and a little water coming in under the garage door. As in it was soaked up with one towel.
LARGE deck with an oak tree covering most of it.
Basic Floor Plan:
Back Porch looking from where the grill sits
Back Porch looking towards bay, showing fenced in back yard (boat parking is between the fence and the garage you see out back)
House from street. Leaning chimney has been replaced, bushes in front of windows are gone
Side View (you are looking at the garage side)
Living Room (empty)
The "it came from the 80s" kitchen
Living Room
Garage
MASTER Bedroom. Window looks out over backyard/out to bay
Guest Bedroom. Exact same thing, other than closet is half the size
Don't have any handy pics of the bathroom, but it's tile to about halfway up the walls, has an original tub/fixtures minus a modern shower head, and a pedestal sink.
Heat is Hot Water/Boiler circulating through radiators or Forced Hot Air. Both Natural Gas powered, and totally independent systems. I prefer the boiler. Cost maybe $10 more a month to run, but the air does not dry out with it.
House has central air, that works through the furnace.
Stove and Hot Water are also Natural Gas
Separate well for watering lawn/car washing/boat motor flushing
Absolute maximum utility bill I have seen is about $310, and that was water/sewer/trash ($90ish), gas ($20)
and $200 Electric in summer. Winter was $130 for gas, $70 for water and $50 for electric at the highest. Spring/Fall it's much less.
Housewise, it would be good for someone who is either at Norfolk for the RAG (E-2, C-2, MH-60S) and is not sure if staying, or someone who is here for a while and wants to live on the beach.
House Location http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1136+...36+Toler+Pl,+Norfolk,+Virginia+23503&t=h&z=19
Living room is wired for 7.1 surround, there is a patch panel in the guest bedroom that goes to the entertainment center, and will go to the master bedroom if I get around to it before leaving.
I'm looking at about the following rates for rental:
Furnished with everything but towels and your clothes (AKA, that's what I'm leaving with):
$2200/mo utilities included, Short Term OK.
Partially Furnished (Fridge, Washer, Dryer, Kitchen Table, Couch, Entertainment Center but no Electronics, Beds, (linens for the Cali Queen Mattress included.. Odd size/hard to get) but on your own for plates, small appliances, etc.. )
$1900/mo utilities included, short term OK.
Bare House (comes with stove, washer, dryer, I take everything else)
Looking for a year lease in this case, if you PCS, I understand, but for the pain of moving all the crap into storage, I'd like more than a 2-3 month rental.
$1500/mo, you pay utilities. I'm open to keeping them on in my name, but the utils will be tacked on to the rent.
I'm OK with sublet/roommate, but they need to be on the lease (or I know who they are, if they are military)
Pets are negotiable with references/deposits.
As of right now, it looks like I will be out sometime Nov/Dec. While the house is not on the market yet, if you are coming up here around the new year, especially to VAW-120, where you won't know your final destination until the end (moreso than most RAGs) keep it in mind.
