You can hear the Esopus Creek through your open window! Great house and location for someone who loves nature and spending time outside.
Internet & utilities included. I love animals but I’m allergic so NO dogs/cats.
4 miles from Phoenicia for easy access to weekend farmer’s market and local shops. 2 miles from Fox Hollow trail head for access to all the hiking you could ever want. less than 10 minutes to Pine Hill Community Center. 35 minutes to all that Kingston has to offer.
Room has a twin bed with 18“ frame so there is LOTS of underbed storage.
~House has well water that is tested annually.
~utilities are included but pls agree to use best efforts to conserve electricity in the home by turning off electrical devices and lights when not in use both in the room and in the common areas.
Hoping to find someone who wants to stay minimum of 3 months or longer if the fit is right for everyone but willing to keep it loose for a month to month to make sure everyone “vibes” well - nothing worse than living somewhere you don’t feel comfy! But would like to limit too many transitions for stability in the house.
Access and use of: ~ kitchen / dishes / etc. ~use of dedicated mini fridge for yourself ~ shared 2nd floor bathroom (shower – no tub – this is a historic Victorian home and there is NO bathroom on the 1st floor for access considerations) ~ use of laundry (washer/dryer and outside laundry line for fresh air! You provide your own detergent) ~ home gym (does NOT include use of Norditrack but does include use of dumb bells 5-50#, adjustable weight bench, foam roller, etc. ~ living room with wood stove which is primary heat source for the home during the winter months (room has a dedicated heater so you can adjust the temperature of your room, too!) ~you must be comfortable feeding and using a wood-stove!!!! (it’s a gorgeous soapstone stove and is easy to use but it must be fed by everyone collectively!). If you don’t like wood stoves or are not comfortable with wood stoves this is not a home for you. ~ outdoor hammock ~ outdoor fire-pit
GENERAL HOUSE “VIBES” (A Signed Roommate Agreement is Required) o The Roommates agree that their intention is to cultivate a safe and secure home environment where community is nurtured and calm is maintained. o The Roommates will observe a general/relaxed “leave no trace” policy in the common areas of the home: pick-it-up, put-it-away, fold it and put it back, etc. o The Roommates will keep all food in the 1st floor dining room or kitchen - pls no food in the room o The Roommates agree that upon entering the home they and their guests will take their shoes off and place them by the door. o The Roommates agree to limit use of shoes inside to “house slippers”. o The Roommates acknowledges that generally the culture of the home is “early to bed/early to rise” and they agree that, outside of “special occasions”, which will be agreed upon in advance, the Roommates will observe general quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. o The Roommates agree that no political signage of any kind will be placed in the yard or on the house due to ethical requirements of owner’s employment. o If a Roommate breaks something that is not theirs, they will be responsible for buying a new or comparable item to replace the broken one. o The Roommates acknowledge that the home is a sex positive space but that it is shared by others, including children, so any adult conduct/sexual acts will be limited to one’s private space and that noises will be kept discrete when others are in the home.
No parties, loud music or smoking of any kind inside, please. No bigotry.
I’m Abigail (45, NYC attorney, ultra marathon trail runner and owner of a sustainable slow fashion lingerie and swimwear business). I purchased this historic Victorian home a few years ago and I am slowly giving it the love and care it deserves with my son (12 years old; Godzilla, Lego and cooking enthusiast).
Prior roommates available to chat with serious inquiries about what it is like to live in the house.
I have a lovely nesting parenting arrangement with my co-parent Shawn (57 years old, currently driving for delivery service). Shawn lives on the 3rd floor. My son and I come up a weekend here and there (maybe 1-2 weekends during his summer school break but otherwise we are lucky to get up 1x a month). We have a bedroom on the 2nd floor. Kiddo may be around a more with Shawn during some school breaks. The 3rd floor is not included in the house access (it’s where my co-parent lives and where my son’s play room is – but that keeps the “kid area” out of the way!)
This bedroom is the only bedroom on the 1st floor so you’ll be the only person living on the 1st floor.
A female (60s - home health aid) roommate has a bedroom suite on the 2nd floor. She is often away for weeks at a time for work assignments. She does not use the kitchen or the common areas because she has a suite and prefers her privacy.
I’m liberal, open-minded, and easy-going. My friends you may meet skew toward the creative: yoga teachers, social workers, florists, etc. We go to bed and get up early. My co-parent and I don’t drink but we both LOVE to cook (we do eat meat, so not a good fit if you object to meat). Twice a year I host a few girl-friends for a weekend but these are planned well in advance due to everyone’s schedules.
There is only one full-time roommate on each floor there is lots of privacy and quiet. On weekends when I come up, I’m usually out on the trails and in my sewing room most of the day and then we have an early family dinner together!
