About the room
I am looking for two great roommates who would be interested in signing a lease for June 1st or maybe later. It is a three bedroom, two bath home and it rents for $5500. There are two rooms available:
Option 1: Good size room with small remodeled PRIVATE bathroom. Hardwood floors, new paint, etc. $2000 a month
Option 2: Room with ensuite bathroom however this bathroom can also be accessed from living room. This large bathroom would be shared with me. The bathroom has a skylight and tons of storage. You will also have a separate space at the back of the house. It has its own private entrance and cannot be accessed from inside of the house! There’s a closet in the bonus room but I think the room is too small to be a bedroom so it’s perfect as an office for an entrepreneur, art studio, etc. $2000 a month for both spaces!
If you want option 1 with your private bathroom and bonus room. Lmk and we can adjust rent accordingly.
I will get the smaller bedroom. Since I don’t not have an ensuite bathroom or bonus room, I can pay $1500. However, I am also willing to furnish most of the house to make it fair. Also have a complete gym set up that can be used in our detached garage (yes, more storage!) Plus high end washer and dryer for the laundry room.
The house: Over 100 years old. A lot of charm with wood beams, tons of natural light but recently remodeled with new light fixtures, hardwood floors, fresh paint etc. New kitchen with retro stove range. It is a little over 1400 sq ft. The best part of the house is the yard. It’s a private paradise as it is gated but on a hill so you can see the ocean (I know, it doesn’t sound like Santa Monica!) It is only six blocks away from the beach. Dog park is around the corner. The street is also quiet with plenty of parking (no permit needed). It is located in Ocean Park which is considered the best neighborhood in Santa Monica. We also have our own gardener and security system.
About the roomies
About me: Male, late 20s, gay. Easy going, quiet and active. Work in real estate development. Like to keep the home clean and clutter free. Also have a small dog hence why I need a fenced in yard plus I love gardening and DIY projects. I do not smoke or do drugs. I do not have guests over often and looking for the same as I like to come home to a quiet home. However, I am not opposed to fun entertainment parties once awhile as I am also looking to expand my social group with my new roommates.
You: Male or Female, no preference. 20s-40s. Gay friendly. Healthy and active lifestyle is encouraged. Clean, friendly, quiet, etc. All about respect and communication too. We will create a roommate agreement to ensure we are all on the same page. I am also open to another small dog in the house, but my dog is not cat friendly :( You will need proof of income and good to excellent credit for the application. There will be a deposit, currently it’s two months rent, but we can negotiate with the landlord. Let me know if you’re interested and let’s get to know each other as roommates! An IG link would be great!
