This wonderful, bright cheery home will be shiny clean to welcome you as you move in. It is a home you will enjoy calling "home." We will try to schedule tours whenever we can match schedules: Day, evening or weekends. Our lengthy description should give you a good "feel" for this well-cared for home. The detailed description is definitely appreciated by people at a distance who may have to make a decision without getting to spend much time in the home or even being able to come to Blacksburg to do a tour at all. This home is very nice, very comfortable, homey, clean and bright. When gutted recently for total renovation, we insisted the charm and personality be maintained so it feels like a home, not a bunch of square boxy rooms. There is much included to save you time and money; so please remember to factor these in as you do your price comparisons. We do the mowing, leaf removal and snowplowing of the driveway. There is no water or sewer bill. This is the rare place where the cost of doing laundry is included! Not having to pay for heating water and running the dryer saves much on utility bills. Plus you do not have the heat, lint, and clutter of a laundry room taking up precious square footage in your home, but you can store your cleaning supplies right next to the washer. Someone else keeps the laundry room tidy. The ground floor stays cool in the summer without the need for AC! Insulation in walls between rooms and floors helps to zone the heat and cool as well as keep the house quiet between rooms and floors. Very efficient use is made of space! If there is a nook, there is a shelf or closet. Most shelving is adjustable. The house is a lot “bigger” than it appears from outside. There are lots of flexible closets and no wasted square footage in hallways. Within the walls is everything from CAT-5 ethernet/TV/phone cabling to all rooms, to all new wiring, all new plumbing, all new heating ducts, and lots of insulation and soundproofing (even between rooms and floors)! It is tough to hear a TV or computer from one room to another. Parents please note that the soundproofing muffles the sounds of a toddler's temper tantrum as well as a teenager's music. Wired in smoke detectors. Plus a carbon-monoxide alarm. Much outdoor lighting on motion sensors; so it is possible to enjoy the beauty of the stars when no one is walking around outside. Neighbors are quiet (Sometimes, however, the wild birds in the woods do get pretty rowdy). You can plant stuff in the gardens, but be prepared for the deer to eat it. There is a fenced garden plot, if you want to try your luck. If you are looking to live in a convenient, quiet, peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by Nature, then you will likely enjoy living here. If you’re looking for a place to party, please do not consider renting this home. We try to rent only to people with a good record of having taken good care of previous residences and who are respectful of the neighbors. Beautiful location: Located on 2.5 acres, shared only with a maximum of 8 other residents in a similarly maintained and quiet 4-unit apartment building next door. This year everyone renewed next door so there are only 5 people next door. You'll be living across the street from the end of Tall Oaks Drive/Stroubles Mill, Hethwood in Blacksburg. Bike/walking path to Kipps Elementary, Blacksburg Middle School, grocery store, VT, Corporate Research Center, and VCOM. Hospital is just 5-8 minutes down the road. 11 minute drive to CRC/VCOM. 16 minutes to the shopping mall. Grocery store is 5 minutes by car or bicycle. All this plus beautiful rural Virginia Countryside just outside your back door! Square Miles of woods and fields behind. Mountain sunsets daily! People renew year after year at Forests Edge because the properties are well-maintained, very quiet and there is lots of parking. Pictures and maps on our website: Please contact us for the website, since we are not allowed to list it here. (Hint: The house is located at Forests Edge which can be Googled.) It is faster to get home here than in much of Blacksburg because there's little traffic and no stop signs! EZ to: Blacksburg, Radford, Christiansburg, The Malls. Corporate Research Center, Hospital, VCOM, etc. Avoid most VT traffic to I-81 and Mall. Walking/running/bike path across street (Hethwood)...goes right to VT campus. (If you bike quickly only 15-20 minutes door to your door on campus.) Great off-street parking! Unusual that plowing of parking area is included in rent. Para-transit will come to the door. 3-4 blocks to BT bus. Original real oak floors, real wood paneling, all original solid wood interior doors, nooks and crannies, etc. have been kept. Plaster walls are beautiful. The upstairs full-bath was added during renovation. Downstairs bath was modified to be universally accessible without looking like it is. Incredible storage and wall heaters in both bathrooms! Large Ceiling fans (with lights) are in every room. There is also a whole house fan. New double-paned, low-E windows have full screens, not just 1/2 screens, so it's possible to ventilate rooms well even when raining. 3 bedrooms have flexible closets. 4th BR has no closet; yet pocket door makes it a convenient extension of other bedroom on main level. There is plenty of storage in the hall + bath next door to 4th bedroom. 4th bedroom makes a terrific office, playroom, hobby room, or den, especially since it has an additional heater to zone heat that room. The 2 large bedrooms upstairs have great views through over-sized windows. One faces East, the other West. Mini-blinds on every window, except East facing upstairs window where faux wood blinds really block the light, if you choose to hide from the great view of the morning sunrise. The comfortably-sized EAT-IN KITCHEN even has a closet under the steps with a light so you can sort through your over-sized pots, bowls, wedding gifts, etc. (or a child could play in this “secret” hide-away). New Stove with convection oven and hidden bottom element, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, ample cabinets and counterspace, windows on two walls facing woods and fields, plus exhaust fan in kitchen. Lots of built-in and/or flexible shelving/storage throughout the house. County Water & septic included. Well for watering gardens. INCLUDED: Mowing and leaf removal is done for you so you can lounge outside and enjoy the peace and quiet rather than pushing the mower. Snow plowing of the driveway is done for you, too; so sled on the hill after shoveling the snow off the level back path. The back path will be ice free if you turn on the heater embedded in the aggregate stone path. INCLUDED: Use of very convenient (really!) laundry (no coins!) Most people do not think about how much it costs to heat water for laundry and to run a dryer. Likely you will save around $100 per month in laundry costs. Also, the heat and humidity from the dryer as well as the dryer lint will not be in your home! Really nice large-capacity Bosch front-loader washer and a Whirlpool dryer in the very, clean convenient laundry area. The front loader is so efficient, the dryer and washer finish in about the same time. Shelves provided to store your detergent. This home will be extremely clean on move-in so please trust the pictures. The home is painted with Benjamin Moore and Glidden paints. Most of the flooring is original oak flooring with very good quality vinyl flooring in the kitchen, hallways and bathrooms. This use of quality materials makes it easy to keep the home clean. Pet allergen free since renovation. No uncaged pets permitted. (No residual smell of other people's cats or dogs.) Exotic pets in cages are generally OK with landlord. No outdoor pets - this helps to keep the area quiet and encourages wildlife. Please, no critter capable of being heard outside even with the windows open, so that neighbors are not disturbed. No smoking permitted inside since renovation! No smoking please, we renovated this home to make it bright, removing lots of smoke haze from walls and ceilings. New ductwork should have no smoke allergen residue. Maximum 4 people since it has a septic system sized for four people. Children (especially infants, toddlers and teenagers) use at least as much water as adults. Septic systems are sized based upon the amount of water usage they can handle. The ground floor is all but ADA compliant/universally accessible. A young resident who broke his leg was grateful there were no thresholds on the main level where his bedroom was; the downstairs bathroom was easy with crutches (as it would be with a walker or a wheelchair); and the heater in the level back path kept it ice free so he could benefit from the traction provided by the pretty aggregate concrete path. BT Paratransit will pick up at the door, if you can not walk the several blocks to the bus stop. The home was renovated to make it pretty comfortable all summer long, without the huge cost of running AC. The fans and insulation, when used as designed, really do a great job of keeping the cost of keeping the home comfortable all year round. With a little effort (opening windows at night and closing in the morning) you can save much money all summer long. The landlord will provide a room AC unit which vents to the outside, if you decide you need it. This system does not block the view as a window AC would. So far, no one has used AC in this home despite the offer of this AC unit. This is because when sitting still downstairs on hot summer days, residents often find themselves putting on sweaters the house is so cool despite the 90+ degree temperatures outside! New ducting and oil furnace installed recently. Wall heaters in both full baths and the fourth bedroom (office/playroom/den/hobby area) are there so you can turn down the heat (new oil furnace) elsewhere and still keep these rooms very warm. Insulation between floors and rooms muffles sound as well as contributes to the energy-saving features of this home. We only have this one house, but we have 8 other similarly located (in quiet areas with lots of parking and nice views), and similarly well maintained, and upgraded condos and apartments. Please ask! Please tell other people. In recent years our residents have all renewed unless they were moving out of town, purchasing a home, or significantly changing their roommate situations. Thank you for considering renting one of our properties. Please contact us for the website showing the properties we have, some of which may be available soon. We are not allowed to post our website URL here, but it should be easy to figure out by googling our name: Forests Edge. There are around 30 pictures on our website! They were taken during (now completed) renovations, but should give you an idea.

One of Blacksburg's best kept secrets: A sprawling 1260 sq foot immaculately clean condo with acres and acres of sheep meadow as a backyard yet it is closer to VT's campus than 1,000's of other rental units AND this residence is very quiet with lots of parking. VERY CLEAN, RECENT RENOVATION, SPACIOUS, SMOKE-FREE, PET-ALLERGEN FREE, 3 bedroom condominium with two full bathrooms. Bedrooms are well-spaced for privacy with 2 BR and 1 Bath at one side and the Master BR and 1 Bath at the other. Like a sprawling ranch house without the yard work! VERY CONVENIENT to everything! Lots of parking so NO need for hangtags or parking stickers. BT Bus stop at the foot of the driveway. Bike route goes under highway directly to VT campus. From Downtown Blacksburg take Prices Fork Road; driveway is the 2nd left after cross 460 Bypass. AVAILABILITY: The current residents are making it available by early June 2014, please ask for details. Our units (all in quiet areas and maintained by landlords who really care) open up randomly throughout the year as we assist our residents by posting their units as soon as they let us know they are moving and will no longer need the residence. The majority of our residents renew year after year and move only when they no longer need a rental residence in the Blacksburg area. 902 #2 Brightwood Manor Drive is leased through the last week of July 2014. However, the tenants are moving out earlier in the summer, and would be very happy if someone started their lease shortly after they move. The next lease would end July 2015 or the following July, if the new tenant decides to save money by locking-in the rent with a two year lease. WELL-MAINTAINED & VERY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN: Ceramic floors everywhere, except bedrooms which are carpeted. Kitchen now has same flooring as shown in Living Room images. We urge residents to tell us when something needs attention because we want to maintain things so they do not break. Paint on walls is very durable and scrubbable. We regularly ask residents to alert us to anything loose, dripping, or just does not seem quite right; so things can be fixed before they break. MAINTENANCE: We try very hard to answer, promptly, residents' calls for assistance - day, night, weekends and even on holidays. SPACIOUS: 1260+ square feet of well-planned space. NO space wasted on stairwells. All hallways serve dual purpose of being access to the large rooms and for access to the numerous closets. Over NINE foot high ceilings; so you can use the space on top of regular height bookcases for more items. Plenty of space for over-sized items above very durable kitchen cabinets. Large pantry area. Washer and dryer are in lit closets with still more shelving. PLUS: Dry, covered Patio walks out onto lawn effectively enlarging your living space. PLUS: Common area Foyer for the building provides even more indoor space. BRIGHT: Lots of natural lighting during the day during the winter and tree shading patio during summer. Many built-in light fixtures for lots of light, even in closets. ENERGY-SAVING FEATURES: Has Heat Pump but rarely do tenants ever turn on AC. Naturally cool in summer. Ground floor unit; so the Earth keeps it warm in winter. 52 inch reversible ceiling fans with lights in all rooms which cool in summer and bring warm air down from 9 foot ceilings in winter. All windows and Patio door are double pane. Patio door swings and has a deadbolt so seals much better than a typical sliding patio door. Owner has lived in the unit so can share additional tips for conserving. VERY QUIET Location. Occasionally the sheep might wake you, perhaps once a year. Otherwise, most people move to Brightwood Manor to live quietly. When apartment/condo/townhouse/house hunting please come by any night and likely you will hear very little except some "neighborhood" type sounds, not loud parties. Please do come by on Thursday through Sunday evenings and you would find it hard to find a loud party. If you hear much noise, please do let us know! Brightwood Manor is known for its tranquility, and we want to keep it that way so people like you can have a quiet place to call home. There are nice, relaxing VIEWS out windows and off patio. UTILITIES: Water/sewer/trash pick-up included. CAT-5 computer, TV and telephone cabling to virtually all rooms. Comcast and Verizon DSL are available. MORE INFO: Two full baths; one has two sinks with a door providing privacy for tub and toilet. Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, full-sized washer & dryer (with energy-saving booster fan). Great closets and many of them. MINIMAL ALLERGENS: Since renovations we have not allowed smoking nor any uncaged pets. Unlike many units at Brightwood Manor, your clothes dryer will vent to the outside of the building through a well-designed ventilation system, complete with booster fan. Also, there are exhaust fans in both bathrooms and over the kitchen stove. PET POLICY: No uncaged pets and nothing that is capable of making noise heard outside the unit even with the windows open. No outdoor pets. SMOKING POLICY: No smoking in our units or on the patios or balconies. When you live near our units, you will not hear barking or parrots shrieking coming from our units. When you rent our units, there will be no screens bowed out from cats leaning on them. There will also not be residual pet odors wafting around. We personally love critters, but if they are capable of damaging our units in any way or disturbing the neighbors we do not permit them in our units. Our units are designed to tolerate very well residency by responsible humans; thus, humans very rarely damage them. CHECK OUR WEBSITE, please: Many photos, maps, plus floorplans of our units on our website. We even have aerial photos! Please call for that website address (Hint: Google our company name Forests Edge) as we are not permitted to post it here. Thank you very much for considering renting one of our 9 units. Since we are not a big company just, literally, a "Mom and Pop," for the last 20 years we have tried very hard to personalize our service to all our residents. Apparently, we must do OK because our residents tend to renew year after year until they move out of town, buy a home, or need a type of place we can not offer. For example, 902 #2 was passed amongst upper class-men and graduate students for nine years, and, when one of them came back into town to work years later, she was disappointed to learn it was already leased.

Much wildlife to watch. Bird lovers, please check out this location! Explore the woods outside your door; yet, be across the street from the largest established subdivision in Blacksburg. Best of both worlds! Birds hovering around bird feeders have been the loudest critters on the premises! Most well-cared-for, caged pets are welcome. A policy of no uncaged (so no urine smells in the carpeting or scratches on walls, doors or cabinets) or noisy pets (examples: loud parrots or barking dogs) helps us to maintain the tranquility and cleanliness of our units. No critters permitted who are capable of being heard outside even with the windows open. We gutted much of the buildings repairing things with quality materials in a way so they should continue to appear recently renovated and put in much soundproofing to dampen normal sounds of human occupancy. No worries that a previous resident cat or dog left surprise smells behind since no uncaged pets have been permitted since extensive renovations. No dogs allowed; so no barking coming from the next unit and no yellow spots or other “surprises” on the lawns from residents' pets. Allergy sufferers: Since no smoking or uncaged pets since renovations, this has eliminated many common allergens! We want residents to be happy and to renew year after year (most of our residents do); so we try hard to keep our promise of trying hard to provide a nice place to live undisturbed by neighbors’ noise. Most of our residents renew year after year. There are lawns and woods to enjoy. If you like to garden, let us know! We are still working on them and enjoy the help. We have done much work on the landscaping but it is a work in progress. It is fun to watch the spread of flowers some residents planted and to notice how someone's first Christmas tree (a dwarf Alberta spruce) is looking so happy many years afterward it first arrived at Forests Edge. Forests Edge is like a small neighborhood. Only a maximum of 8 residents in the entire four-unit building and 4 residents in the house on the same 2.5 acres of lawns and mainly oak forest. Landlord tries hard to make residents comfortable. Most of our residents renew year after year. Much off-street parking for you and your visitors. Optional: Less-than-cost monthly fee for use of very, very clean laundry room on-site with like new front-loading washer and dryer. No coins needed. Optional: Comcast serves this area. Hard-wired jacks for Internet (CAT-5), telephone and TV to LR and both bedrooms. Please look at our website to see more images of the unit. Click on the picture of the white building to get to photos and floor plans. All the photos will give you an idea about the premises. Specific photos of each unit say the unit’s name in the caption. This unit is 1849 D Merrimac Road, Blacksburg, VA. Multi-year leases: There is a savings if you sign multi-year lease because the rent will be “locked-in”. Please ask about the flexibility this landlord builds into the lease to change the ending date to save residents money. For example, we list units as available as soon as residents tell us when they plan to move out. Generally we save people much rent money because we are usually able to find someone to sign a lease to move in close to the time the vacating tenants would like to vacate the unit. Due to the economy causing people to switch jobs or otherwise suddenly change plans, units may suddenly come available at any time. All have different floor plans, 2-3 BR units. Please ask about them as well. Routinely we assist people to find someone to start the next lease early when people graduate or change jobs in May or December. Recently there have been some bizarre years with people suddenly needing to relocate at unusual times. Fortunately, they have rented with us because we are willing to work with them to minimize the costs of changing rental plans! Please visit our website for lots of pictures and floorplans. Again, please contact us to get the website address. You can email us at office@FORESTs-EDGE.com Hint: our website is very similar to our e-mail address. But we are not permitted to post our URL here. Forest Edge is a really nice place to live. Please do check it out. All our units are in quiet locations, are well-maintained and have lots of parking. Thanks for looking!

Many features that save much on utility costs We have lots of pictures and the floor plans posted on our website, but you need to call (540.961.0138) or e-mail (office@FORESTs-EDGE.com) us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here.

These hardwood floors are everywhere but the kitchen and bathroom where there is nice vinyl. • Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counter-space and many cabinets plus storage on top of them.

Could be used for a small desk, play area, or nursery, they are so big! People have stored, along with their clothing, complete drum sets and twin mattresses in them. • Mini-blinds on all windows throughout the unit.

Cheerful unit. ••Below is more detailed information that has been added to answer questions people have asked: •• Hardwired Ethernet/TV/Telephone to all rooms. Comcast broadband cable runs to a router; so you are not charged for each connection separately! Our 2.5 acre property has lots of parking for you, your neighbors and everyone's visitors! There is a house (maximum of 4 people) plus the 4-unit apartment building (maximum of 8 people - 2 people per apartment). Thus a maximum of 12 people can reside here, rarely are there over around 8 or 9. The apartment building has two units per floor on the upper two floors with a coin-less, very clean laundry room and landlord’s storage on the bottom floor. Store bicycles, canoes, and other outdoor equipment outside your unit. Much of the storage area is covered. 1849 C has views from all rooms. Looking East and to the back are trees. One small house is next door (East). The streetside has lawns and a view over Stroubles Mill neighborhood's large homes on Tall Oaks Drive and the rest of the back of Hethwood (Foxridge is a brief walk away past the large homes). 1849 is located on a hillside; so it is tough for anyone to look in! All the walls in the building were opened during the recent renovation; so all plumbing and electrical is in very good to excellent (brand-new) condition. Renovations have been done with permits and government inspectors. We worked hard to make all our units as if we or our own children would be living in them. The sound-proofing is amazing, between units and within the unit as well. It is very rare to hear a neighbor. Rarely will you hear a car door slam. More likely you will be awakened by the wildlife in the acres of woods. Close the door to your bedroom and you will not hear most sounds --- even in the rest of your apartment ---as there is soundproofing insulation in virtually all the walls and ceilings. Particularly the room most people use as a bedroom is so quiet it is like being in a sound studio. Low Electric Bills - Due to the insulated interior walls, by closing doors you can heat just one room or keep rooms at different temperatures so everyone is comfortable. Each room has its own thermostatically controlled 220v heater with fan; so each room can heat up quickly and stay that way very efficiently as its own little zone, if you close the door. There are reversible ceiling fans in every room and zone heating; so the electric bills can be kept incredibly low with little effort. AC has not been used in this unit for years, as even those residents who install a window AC choose to keep them off to save money because the fans are so effective. We even provide a dual window fan. In fact, the last resident had a window AC which he kept on the floor because just opening the window was enough to keep him comfortable, since all summer the large oak trees provide lots of shade and the cool air comes in from the forest. Natural energy savings: In Winter, the leaves are gone and the sun's angle is so low that all winter it is bright in this unit keeping it very cheery inside. In Summer, the leaves shade the unit and the sun goes over the top of the building so C stays very cool with no need for AC! I have been told in summer people in some of our units wear sweaters inside because the contrast to outside is so great! There are many more pluses to the rental units offered at Forests Edge. You likely will find it worth taking a look. Each floorplan is different; so please check out our website as well. Please call (540-961-0138) or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com for an appointment. We only own 9 rental units and manage them ourselves. You will not be a "number" to us. We try hard to make our residences nice enough that our residents renew, and most do.Our residents frequently renew because they like how well we maintain our units and how quickly we respond when they contact us. Most stay with us for all the years they are renting in Blacksburg! County water (not private well water - unusual in this sort of setting) Septic system limits number of people in the building to 8 (2 per apartment). Only a maximum of 12 people may reside on the 2.5 acres (4 in the house plus 2 in each of the units in the four-unit apt building) of woods and lawn. There is much more off-street parking than would be used if we had 12 residents and each one had a car. Usually the units are full-leased, and, still, we only have around 9 or 10 residents with only around 7 cars total. So your friends would be able to find a space to park, if you lived at Forests Edge. No hangtag, parking stickers, or visitors' passes needed! The laundry room has a nice front-loading washer and dryer. No need for coins, and you can safely leave your detergent on the shelf. Leave the dryer lint, heat and machine noise outside your quiet apartment. There is a reasonable monthly charge (less than the cost to run the machines), if you would like to use the on-site laundry. This is a non-smoking building. Also, there is no smoking on the balconies or near the building where the smoke can enter through open windows. Since we own the building, we are able to offer smoke free air when you relax on the large balconies watching the deer and birds or enjoying the night sky. Our residents enjoy smelling flowers and the forests all day and night long. The building is located at the edge of Hethwood and behind it is nothing but hills and farms. It gets spectacularly dark when the motion-sensor security lights are not tripped on. The stars and the moon seem to be much closer here than in the rest of Blacksburg because they appear so bright! There is redundant motion-sensor activated security lighting; so if one or two bulbs burn out, there still is light, but less of it. The bike path to VT and the rest of Blacksburg is right across the street. Radford and Christiansburg (as well as Blacksburg) are very easy to access from this location. The hospital is just down the road. Please do check FORESTs-EDGE website for a map. The small apartment building is easy to find by taking Prices Fork Road and turning onto Merrimac Road. Enjoy the expansive view over the beautiful Wall Farm, rather than dealing with traffic, stop signs and lights as your friends do when they go home. From Prices Fork Road, it is only one and a third miles to the three story white building. You can pull right into the large, usually mostly empty parking area. No assigned spaces or parking tags needed - for you or your visitors! It is actually quicker to get here than to most places that seem "closer" to campus. (Try it!) Plus it is soooooo nice and peacefully quiet. It's pretty quick by bicycle (bike path) to most of VT (15-20 minutes door-to-door) and Blacksburg. Blacksburg Transit bus stop is a few blocks up Tall Oaks Drive. One of our goals is always to not have to keep any of any renter's deposit for damage or cleaning; so we are providing durable units designed to handle human occupancy and be able to clean easily. 95+% of our residents have nothing taken out for damage because our units are finished with durable materials and our residents tend to take care of the units. Our units are designed to be durable when lived in by humans who take reasonable care of the unit. We repair between tenants so that the units look as if they were renovated last year. The paint, woodwork, fixtures, and cabinets are pretty durable. The hardwood flooring is pretty tough requiring only routine vacuuming, mopping, and/or sweeping to remove grit to minimize scratching, gouging, and other deterioration. PLEASE ASK WHETHER WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE AVAILABLE. ALL OF OUR UNITS ARE VERY QUIET & HAVE LOTS OF PARKING! Please come by! See you soon, I hope. 540-961-0138 or office@FORESTs-EDGE.com • Pet Policy Discussed below at great length: Thank you for your understanding as to why we can not make exceptions to allow your beloved pet, if it does not fit our guidelines. Many people move to our units for the peace, quiet, and beauty. During renovations we removed much pet damage, including replacing floor boards, doors, cabinets and window screens; so please do not ask if you can bring in dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, etc. People with allergies to pet dander seek out our properties since they are rare in Blacksburg. Offering pet and smoke allergen free units is a large part of our reputation. Also, our units are very quiet; are maintained as if they were recently renovated; and are very clean. It is impossible to charge a sufficient deposit to cover the costs of pet damage to units maintained as well as ours are. We love animals (one of us is a veterinarian and we both have been actively involved in wildlife rescue), but in our rental units they must be in cages or aquaria and not be heard outside the unit, even with the windows open. This way they do not disturb other residents or damage the apartment. It also makes it possible for our renovated units to be promoted as pet allergen-free. We keep a list of any caged critters who have lived in our units; so people allergic to furry critters or birds will know what has been allowed in the specific unit and how long ago. Our pet policy: No uncaged pets. No pets capable of making noise that can be heard outside the unit even with the windows open (Quiet for everyone!) No outdoor pets as we actively encourage wildlife. Many of our residents like to have bird feeders and to play on the lawns and plant plants in the gardens which is not compatible with walking dogs or free-ranging introduced predators such as cats. All pets must be well-cared for. All pets must be reported to management. There is a reasonable pet fee for some species, and it is important for the pet's safety that management know of their existence to avoid injury due to chemicals, etc. used during repairs or other maintenance. When we know of a critter, we can protect it from toxic fumes. Knowing it is there makes it more likely to be rescued if there is an emergency, say a long term power outage in the winter, or a fire, or you end up sick or injured and can not get back to feed it. Again, thank you for your understanding as to why we can not make exceptions to allow your beloved pet -- if it does not fit our guidelines.

Step into 900 #3 any time of day or night and it will greet you with its bright cheeriness! The attention by these owner/ managers to detail during the renovations and with routine maintenance is very apparent. Like our other 8 units, this unit is easy to keep looking really nice and is pretty energy efficient. Most of our residents honor us by renewing year after year and must consider our rental rates reasonable. We try hard to provide a good value for our residents' money. This unit could be available a bit earlier than August 1st, if necessary for you. We work with our residents as they move in and move out in the hopes of making no one have to pay for an empty unit or miss out on a good unit just because they have to move sooner than the date listed in an advertisement. Since real life rarely matches up with the dates on a lease, most of our residents prefer to move at different times. We post our residents' units as available shortly after residents think they will have them empty and cleaned. All of our units have great parking for residents and guests. The BT Bus stops at the end of the driveway. We strive hard to keep our promises to our residents to provide clean, well-maintained, quiet residences. They should be pet allergen and smoke free. If you have pets, please read through to the discussion at end of this lengthy description. We love critters; yet we have a strict pet policy regarding noise and that the pets need to be confined to the indoors and inside cages or aquaria. No smoking please! Nice ceramic tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, living room, dining area, hallway, foyer, closets, laundry area, and bathroom. (Hopefully you can see the grout lines and the actual pattern in the tile in the photos.) The bedrooms' carpeting is professionally cleaned and stain-protected. There is a great, very well-lit, galley kitchen with lots of counter space and an amazing amount of very sturdy wood cabinets. There is nothing flimsy here! Since the ceilings are 9 feet high the open soffit area above the cabinets provides even more kitchen storage. Refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, exhaust fan, newish stove and garbage disposal. EZ to take out, rinse off and reuse vinyl shelf lining will make it easy for you to maintain. Bathroom has bright new ceramic tile from tub to ceiling and around the vanity. The vanity has two sinks. The full-sized porcelain bathtub with shower and toilet are separated from the sinks with a door for privacy. There is a double curved rod for extra space when showering and lots of decorating possibilities. And the wonderful floating shelf over the sinks just makes this room sparkle even more. Also, included are robe hooks at least three towel rods plus towel rings. Lots of mirrors in this unit, including full length ones in each bedroom. Nice new full-sized FRONT loading washer and dryer. Very efficient dryer ducting system to keep your laundry costs way down! The washer spins fast and uses little water (less to heat!) and the dryer has a powerful blower, but you will barely need the dryer as the washer will all but spin dry your clothes! Many other brand new items were installed throughout unit. Nice built in oak corner shelving unit was custom-made for the unit. All new faucets in the bathroom, kitchen and bath/shower. New universal/ADA height, elongated toilet. Substantial grab bar in the bathtub. Door way to the sink area was just enlarged. Doors have new Schlage lever style handles and locks. Unit is a ground floor unit which requires steps to access via the front door but access through the back is right onto the lawn. Railing on patio can keep children on patio and then, when gate open, allows level access from the lawn directly into the unit and makes it easy for children to get to the lawn to play. Easy to walk directly to nearby playground. Trash pick-up is provided, with the dumpsters, conveniently, right next to the 900 building but out of sight of this unit. Sewage and water are also included. There is CAT-5 computer cabling and TV hook-ups in both bedrooms and the living room. You have a choice of Internet providers. Verizon DSL and Comcast both are available. Central heating and AC system is only a couple of years old. Double pane, insulated windows. All the double hung windows are vinyl replacement windows that are very easy to clean since they tilt in. The paint is a very good grade of Zinnser paint that is durable and resists staining with reasonable care and of course the ceramic flooring should be very easy to maintain. The Scotch guard stain protectant on the bedroom carpeting should also help minimize cleaning difficulties. We put much thought and money into making it possible for reasonably responsible and careful residents to get their entire security deposit back. Also, 52" 5-bladed reversible (for summer cooling and winter heat circulating) ceiling fans with lights in both bedrooms and the living room. Track lighting provides many lighting options; so there are plenty of lighting options everywhere! Mirrored closet doors make the spacious living room/dining room seem to go on and on. There is great place to hang a heavy plant in front of the South facing living room window. This unit should has great lighting, even all winter as the winter sun comes streaming through the patio door in the afternoon. The patio ceiling however, cuts the western sun all summer so breezes can come through the patio door decreasing the need for costly AC. Amazing amount of storage! Closets are everywhere! Many soar to nine feet high. Large pantry area. Large linen closet. There is adjustable shelving in the laundry area along with a bar to hang shirts fresh out of the dryer. The washer/dryer can be hidden behind doors even with the door to the washer left open to keep from getting musty. Very quiet complex. Family-oriented. Children's playground nearby. Bike trails to the super market and Virginia Tech. The VT sheep meadows are adjacent to Brightwood Manor. Kipps Elementary School and Blacksburg Middle and High Schools. Large Family doctors' office with evening and weekend emergency hours right next door. Blacksburg Transit bus stops at the end of the driveway. Plenty of parking for residents and their guests. No need for hang tags, parking stickers or assigned parking spots. There are ample. Very rural feel almost in the middle of Blacksburg. Views from unit are of expansive lawns, a children's playground and Oak Manor Townhouses. Sheep meadows and woods are next to Brightwood Manor making it fun and convenient to watch the sheep and the llama. A family walk could take you to the sheep barns to watch the lambs. Woods separate Brightwood Manor from nearby office parks. This is a terrific unit for serious students as well as families, individuals and couples. Brightwood Manor is a small (only 36 units) complex that is well-known as a place where one does not have wild parties. Expect it to be very unusual to hear much noise, except a couple of weekends in August (before new, noisy residents realize that noise is not tolerated) and then at graduation in May. Unlike apartments, Condominiums are individually owned and the particular owners and their managers make the decisions about how well they will be maintained. So you will find a lot of variation from one condo to another in the same building and complex. At Brightwood Manor there are people who own the units in which they live, and there are many people who rent units. Who owns and manages each rented condo varies greatly. We own four condos at Brightwood Manor, and we take great pride in how well we maintain each one and that we know all of our residents. In many cases we have memorized their email addresses because we keep in touch to make sure that things are working correctly and to keep them abreast of things that affect them. Since our residents renew so often and we only own a total of nine rental properties, it is possible for us to offer such personal attention to the details that affect each of them. Our numerous renewing residents obviously believe our units are a good value for their rental dollars. You may see that this unit is priced higher than some of the other units, even seemingly identical ones in Brightwood Manor. However, if you reside in one of our units, you would be residing in a unit where the owner/manager pays attention to details and the concerns of the residents and tries to install features that will keep residents' utility bills lower. We really do respond promptly to requests for repairs. We periodically send out e-mails asking if anything needs attention, and then follow-up quickly, if any work is needed. In fact, one of our residents moved to another unit in the complex because the price was lower for that condo, owned by someone else, but with a similar floorplan. A few months later, in December, she called us to ask if we had anything at all available because the stove had not worked since she moved in and then as the weather grew colder she discovered she had no heat in her bedroom and she could not get the property manager to remedy the problems. Obviously, the standard of maintenance of that unit was intolerably lower and not worth the "savings" she was seeking. When a new resident moves into 900 #3, or any of our units, the unit is immaculately clean. Most of our residents renew year after year until they no longer need a rental unit in Blacksburg because we try hard to keep the units as nice as the day people move in. Please give us a call or e-mail to arrange a tour. Thanks! No Smoking & no uncaged pets: As with all our units, this unit is maintained pet and smoke allergen free since renovation. This also helps us to keep our units looking as if they were recently renovated. There should be no residual pet odors to surprise you when you close the windows in the winter and turn on the heat. We do allow most quiet caged pets as long as they are well cared for. No uncaged pets and no outdoor pets. To keep our promise to the neighbors: No permitted pet in any of our units can be capable of making noise that could be heard outside the unit even with the windows open, except song birds which, of course, sound similar to birds outside in the trees and feeding at the neighbors' bird feeders. We maintain a list of the types of critters that have resided in our units so we can inform people with allergies of when the critters lived there. Recently residents in our various units have had fish, anuls, a canary and a hamster. Good luck finding a home that is perfect for you! Hopefully one of ours will be it.
