About the room

I have two bedrooms in a cozy Shirlington townhome available for immediate move-in. This a split-level duplex with lots of different levels, a full size kitchen with dishwasher and gas stove, laundry on the first level, and a cute backyard to which I’m planning on adding a vegetable garden. I also have a friendly derp of a dog named Ladybug that will also be your roommate.

The smaller room, and the only one on the top floor, has a deep almost walk-in closet that can easily fit a dresser and has tall ceilings that are good for storage. You can definitely fit a queen size mattress and a desk too. One of your windows faces the backyard treeline with complete privacy. There is a shelved closet right next to your room and the bathroom, both of which you’ll share with the other tenant. This room is available for $800/month.

I signed a lease that will expire end of February 2024, so we won’t have to deal with rent increases for a while. You will need to pass a basic credit/background check in order to be added to the lease. Utilities are separate, and since I’ve only lived here for two weeks, I can’t say exactly how much they’ll be, but the previous tenants told me they weren’t bad. I do know our internet (which is 1 gig, pretty fast) is $90/month total, so $30/person. There is street parking in front of the house for which you’ll need to get a permit from the county. You can get a one month temporary permit in the meantime or park at the end of the street where the permit zone ends and you’ll be fine.

A little about me: I’m a 30 y.o. woman who works full-time remote in a 9-5 job working in program management. I can be a little introverted at first, but I’m very friendly and respectful and want to get to know the people I live with. I do go out from time-to-time, but I’ll often be home, in my basement dungeon :) I enjoy playing video games, getting my gardening on, and trying to solve the world’s problems due to my INFP personality type. I am also a weed enthusiast and consider myself an intersectional feminist, if you know what the hell that means 😄

What I’m looking for: I’m open to male or female roommates. Prefer age range 25-38. LGBTQ friendly. 4/20 friendly. The most important thing is that you are respectful (be kind; don’t be sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, or selfish); clean (don’t leave dishes in the sink, take out the trash/recycling, and help with vacuuming and regular chores); and a good communicator (speak up when you have issues and be sure to listen to others’ perspectives). No one is perfect, but leading with empathy tends to create a healthy environment for all and keeps the peace. Also, I’m looking for long-term roommates who are willing to sign the lease which ends at the end of February 2024 (about 16 months from now). You can always sublet if something changes.

If you think you’re a good fit, please reach out
