carol's room

The large master bedroom/bathroom suite is available for rent in early October (hopefully Oct 1st), in our comfortable, east Longmont home.

The suite, located on the 2nd floor of a 4 dbrm/2.5 bathrm house, has a large sunny SW-facing window, boasts a spacious double-sink + oversized-tub bathroom, and roomy walk-in closet with built-in shelves. Rich, warm plank flooring welcomes you in the bedroom. You’d be sharing the house with me (home owner), a second tenant and a ginger tabby cat, in a quiet neighborhood, minutes from downtown Longmont.

$950/month includes internet and utilities (electric, water, gas, trash, recycling, composting), 1 parking space in attached garage. Lease length 8 months to a year. $650 security deposit. I ask for proof of income/employment and references from previous living situations, a background check. Obtaining renter’s insurance is encouraged, though not required.

About the Housemates, 3 in total + feline:

-Me: mature female, mom to 2 grown daughters, hiker, wanna-be mountain biker, craft beer enthusiast, live music fan, half-hearted gardener, likes getting outside to a trail, a festival and being in the garden/yard

-Current (short-term) tenant: a CSU grad student busy with an internship and completing her grad courses

-The resident ginger tabby diva; she’s loud and proud - mostly cuz she’s deaf - and just wants your lap

-We are a tidy, friendly, upbeat, busy household, even as we are home much of the time due to working remotely and Coronavirus safety practices.

-We go about our days independently and may enjoy a sense of household community in evenings and weekends depending on who’s around. We’re not night owls, but occasionally have small gatherings (BC, before COVID). My daughters visit occasionally and stay in the extra bedroom.

-We LOVE our home, and hope to find someone who does too
