About the room

Our cooperative home, founded in 2009, seeks a new housemate available March 1, 2019. It’s a big house with plenty of shared space, but also plenty of opportunity for quiet time and privacy. We like to keep things very clean and we share staple groceries like spices, oils, miso, honey, etc. We have a small backyard, a chicken coop (currently empty), compost pile and a stellar wrap-around porch. It is a multi-functional and clutter-free space with a karma yoga kind of vibe. The house is thoughtful and supportive both to one another and our planet. Also of note, the house receives a dazzling 15% discount from Weavers Way Co-op. If this sounds like a good fit, keep on reading…
