What This Apartment Offers

Efficiency cottage in a quiet location in the Palmdale neighborhood of Derry Township (Hershey). Rural view from deck but only one block south of Chocolate Avenue (Route 422).

Semi furnished, but doesn't have to be.

Minimum 12-month lease preferred but negotiable. Tenant pays gas (for heating) and electricity. Tenant gets the wifi password from the adjacent large house, but some people find the signal inadequate and want to buy their own. ALSO AVAILABLE SHORT TERM with all utilities, basic kitchen equipment and linens for $1500/mo.

Two miles to downtown Hershey, four miles to Penn State Hershey Medical Center, 13 miles to Harrisburg International Airport, 14 miles to Ft. Indiantown Gap, about 16 miles to downtown Harrisburg. Two blocks to a bike path that goes to Hershey.

This is a small, rustic living space. Not everyone likes it; some people love it. Has a small kitchen with antique iron sink, open shelves, range, refrigerator, microwave and small table/chairs. No dishwasher.

The main room has a low sleeping loft accessed by ladder. There’s a full bathroom with large closet and a utility closet with old but functional stacked washer/ dryer. An additional small room can be used as an office or closet. A pleasant, private deck off the kitchen overlooks several acres of open fields with deer, foxes, coyotes and other wildlife. Hunting is not allowed.

There’s a queen sized mattress in the sleeping loft and a single sized daybed in the main room.

One window air conditioner pretty much cools the whole place. Floors are carpeted or vinyl, walls are white, woodwork is white or natural pine. Windows have mini blinds, large windows also have insulated blackout drapes.

Plenty of outside parking with drive-up motion lights.

No smoking inside. One housetrained, neutered adult dog under 25 pounds CONSIDERED, with breed restrictions and rent adjustment. Sorry, NO CATS, no multiple pets, no birds, no rodents, no reptiles. No exceptions.
