The house is 3 floors, you’d be on 1st floor with no other bedrooms on that level so you’d have plenty of privacy and your own bathroom. The shared kitchen/living/dining is the whole 2nd floor plus a half bathroom (no shower), and all the other bedrooms are on the 3rd floor. The room is pretty spacious with a closet behind the mirror and the personal bathroom. There is heating in the room but no personal A/C unit because it stays pretty cool even in the summer with A/Cs running in all the other rooms (living room & all bedrooms). Washer/Dryer are on the 3rd floor.
Plenty of parking as there's a culdesac behind the house with easy parking. QFC is also right behind the house so you can just walk for groceries and Fred Meyer is just a mile away so a quick drive down the street. Shoreline Costco is only twenty minutes and Greenlake is a little closer but in the other direction. We have several bus stops right next to us, the 28/D-Line is right behind QFC, 40-Line is in front (both less than 5 min walk) and there are stops for the 5-Line not too far (less than 10 min walk). We're around a 10 or 15 min drive from the Northgate Light Rail Station, which goes directly into the airport in under an hour ~$3 (otherwise ~30 min drive to the airport). Carkeek Park is right behind us ~1 min walk with east trails and can walk ~20 min all the way to the water. Otherwise, the park has nice trails that start right by us and is nice for a quick nature escape. There's a small backyard, gas stoves in the kitchen, and individual fridge/pantry space. Fridges are split by 2 people, we all do our own food separately but you’ll have your own ½ size fridge (not pictured but its smaller than a regular fridge and has its own freezer). Rent is $1500 a month, not including utilities which average to about $130 a month but are paid every 2 months separate from the rent (includes internet/gas/water/sewer/electric). Since utilities are paid every 2 months you wouldn’t owe them right away on move-in, they’re paid separately from the rent split with everyone. To move in you'll owe 1st month ($1500) + $600 security deposit for a total of $2,100. In general we don’t plan to keep the security deposit on move-out unless there is significant damage (more than wear & tear) and so far we’ve never kept anyone’s deposit.
We are currently filling two rooms (this being one of them), right now there are 3 people living here: my partner & I (M/F) & one professional (M), with all of us being around 30. We’re all introverts, maybe 1 ambivert, usually doing our own things and keeping busy. No structured house events or forced socializing, if you’re pretty independent, don’t need a lot of socializing at home, and enjoy a quiet enviroment you’d probably be a good fit! We do ask people to do some simple chores (taking out trash, unloading dishwasher, etc.) just 2-3 times a week but can talk about what works best for everyone in terms of timing and rotation.
Just reach out telling us a little bit about yourself and some times you’d be free for a video call, after that we can talk about setting up an in-person tour. If it seems like we’re all a good fit together we can talk about the lease length, ideally we have long-term leases ending in the summer (~June 30th) but we can talk about preferences for lease length, 6-months would be the ideal minimum for this room.
