We are quite close to the Bayfair Center Mall. Supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, post office, vehicle shops, gas stations, restaurants, big box stores and small business of all kind are nearby. There is a nice hilly park nearby called Chabot Regional Park, with nice views of the entire bay, hiking and biking trails and a lake.

About the housemates:

There are 3 bedrooms in this house. The intention is to have One person per bedroom.

East BR (Me) Male, 40’s, Freelance project manager. Run my business from home. Mon to Fri work Schedule. I tend to be a homebody who cooks and eats at home. I tend to stay in my room most of the time, but like eating in the dining room or the patio. I like to have a friendly chat with my house-mates when we cross paths in the house. But enjoy my privacy and respect yours. I strive to be quiet and respectful at all times. I appreciate the same from my house-mates.

South Bedroom: Male, 50’s, professional AV tech. Works in the field, ad hoc schedule. But tends to work 3 to 5 days a week. Very chill, amiable person. Low key, nice humble human. Cleans up shared spaces always. Takes evening exercise walks. Cooks at home. Likes to BBQ on the weekends in our patio and 2 sets of grills. Always pays bills on time. Likes to take care of recycling bottles. Has his own bathroom in his room. Great guy.

About you: You are respectful, responsible, quiet, clean, gentle, honest, and strive to keep peace with the people you share a home with. You pay your bills on time when asked. You clean up after yourself in all the shared spaces after using them. You are not a daily or heavy drinker or smoker. Social drinking with friends once in a while is ok. Getting drunk or using hard drugs at home is not ok. I prefer to live with people who are looking for a longer term rental, so we can feel settled in. I love animals, but this has to be a pet-free house as the owner does not allow them by contract.

Proof of income, Work and past housing references will be verified. And the owner of the house will ask to run a credit check on you.

If this quiet, simple, living situation sounds like something you are interested in, please contact me. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I will want us to talk on the phone and meet in person to ultimately feel if it will be a good fit for both of us. In your reply to this post, please tell me about yourself.

Best of luck in your SF Bay housing hunt.
