Matheson Court

Our 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house is on Matheson Court, a quiet outlet from Matheson Road just north of Clayton Road (near the Bailey Road intersection). Concord BART is 3 miles away (west down Clayton Road); you can also reach BART by boarding the #10 bus at Clayton and Bailey. Highway 242, which connects to highway 680, is 5 miles away. The Cal. State East Bay (Concord) campus is 2 miles away, less than 10 minutes by car. Diablo Valley College is 6 miles away, around 20 minutes by car.

Grocery stores, general stores, a hardware store and many restaurants line our side of Clayton Road, easily reachable by foot, car or bus. Two beautiful parks are within walking distance — or a 5-minute drive — from our house: the large Newhall Community Park south of Clayton Road, and the small Brazil Quarry Park north of Clayton Road.

ROOM & HOUSE DETAILS: The bedroom, on the first floor of this spacious house, measures 10 x 11 feet — plus a closet 2 feet deep by 5 feet wide. It is furnished with a tall sturdy bookcase (securely anchored to wall studs), and three small wooden cabinets. A central light fixture on the high ceiling provides even lighting. The window faces northwest, looking onto the beautiful back yard with its swimming pool. A well-lighted bathroom next to your bedroom includes a sink with cabinet below, medicine cabinet, shower, and toilet. A laundry room is available on the second floor. You’ll also have access to the common areas: kitchen, dining room, and living room — also the back yard, which has a small swimming pool (unheated) and a spa (winter heating available).

FINANCIAL DETAILS: Rent is $1,000 per month for a single person — or $1,200 per month for a couple sharing a room. All utilities are included in this rent payment: gas and electricity, wifi internet, water, and trash collection. The lease will be month-to-month, with an option to negotiate a longer-period lease if desired by both parties. To prove your ability to pay the rent, please show us the last three months of your paycheck stubs or bank statements. Move-in cost for a single person includes first month’s rent ($1,000), plus $1,000 security deposit. Rent will be due at the beginning of each monthly cycle.

PETS: Sorry, no pets.

PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS: Please provide us with three personal references. We allow no smoking, recreational drugs, or excess drinking in our house.

We are an older working couple who enjoy gardening around the house and swimming in the pool. Our current housemates are a couple who work at a massage clinic.
