The room: This is the primary room. It is upstairs and has front and side-facing windows, although the current tenant has used one of the windows for the air conditioning hookup which will come with the room if you’d like. The bed is also available. The room itself is large enough to fit a bed, a desk, a couch, with plenty of room to spare. It also has a whole closet area and its own door to a shared bathroom.
The house: A fairly large old house in a residential neighborhood. It has a solid-sized backyard and ample parking and two windows and a closet. The house has several common areas. There is a big open living room space. There is a den with a couch, a television, and a bar. There is a laundry room, although the dryer just seems to have broken. The backyard is wonderful. There is a sizable garage for storage. It’s never been full, and now that a bunch of people are moving out, there’s a bunch of space in the garage, which is also used as another common area with a couch, a speaker system, and stuff like that in there. There is a ton of parking, which is the reason I moved into it. There is trash pickup in the back alley, which means you never have to take out the trash cans. They’re always in the back and they are handled pretty well. Gardeners come in once or twice a week. The kitchen is its own room, and it seems like it’s been rebuilt at some point because it feels like a fairly modern kitchen with a dishwasher and ample (a lot of) cabinet space and a refrigerator. There’s also a refrigerator in the garage.
It’s right near the park, close to a bunch of gyms, and it’s a really wonderful neighborhood. They have huge block parties on Halloween!
(Two other smaller rooms in this house are available if interested in moving in as a group.)
