Patsy's room

Raleigh, NC 27609

Please read ALL of the listing and the requirements before asking about the room’s availability.

• A background check is required
• Proof of income is required
• Legal ID is required
• A signed lease is required. This lease also contains details about house rules, payment dates, etc.

We MUST speak by phone. We will discuss schedules, lifestyle habits, and what makes a good home-sharing/ housemate experience for you.

Because this room shares a bathroom, I look for roommates with differing schedules AND who are clean and thoughtful. This is NOT a partying location. Most of the time, the house is super quiet. I work from home, and other housemates might also work from home.

The rental price is the flat-rate price you see onscreen. No additional “management fees.” I live onsite and this is a homeshare. Quiet hours from approx 9 PM to 7 AM. I work from home and possibly other housemates might be working or studying. Group message the housemates before loud noises. Use headphones with the TV and computing devices at night.

If you made it this far, awesome!

Other:

The longer description:

The room is ultra-contemporary and packs a lot of usage into a small space. Comfy queen-size bed. Linens are available. A larger Mini fridge is included. The TV has Chromecast and an antenna for local stations. Hardwood floors. Fully furnished kitchen with nifty appliances. (See more details below) The home is undergoing some changes but remains comfortable.

Newer HVAC ductwork with a UV-C bulb for cleaner air. The bathtub was reglazed in July 2023. Google 8GB multi-gigabit fiber.

The kitchen area is super-furnished. It is undergoing renovations but is functional. Induction cooktop, workstation sink, double ovens, countertop oven, microwave oven, air fryer, filtered water, ice shaver, and more.

The backyard currently has a very small deck and other renovations are to take place.

The water pressure in the bathroom for your shower is AWESOME! I have a large hot water heater for an ample hot shower

I provide toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen cleaning supplies, many cleaning supplies, kitchen spices, and more. Note: The furnishings remain the same, but the room is now lighter and brighter with updated paint and an updated ceiling fan.

The house is within three miles of Wegmans, 2 miles to Lidl, and 1 mile to Harris Teeter. Starbucks is also about one mile away. Approx 3 miles to Duke Raleigh and WakeMed North. The best gas prices are at Sam’s Express around the corner. This home is within three miles of both 540 and 440. Approximately 10 minutes to downtown.

I hope you will find this location to feel like home and be an excellent value for the money.

Move here and become the next kind housemate that lives in my house!

Housemates vary, But are generally students, interns, working professionals and folks who are relocating. Sometimes there are people who are coming in to visit friends or family as I am also an Airbnb host (long-term guests only).

This is a non-smoking property. No vaping. No drug use. These things should go without saying, but unfortunately they need to be said. Because it’s a home share, we check in with other housemates before we invite people over. Overnight guests are not permitted without prior approval. Because the room walls are thin, having overnight guests can be awkward. Not a child-proofed home and zoning rules do not permit me to home-share with a parent and child(ren) or couples.

I expect people to clean up after themselves, keep their rooms clean and to take out trash daily storage of cardboard boxes in rooms is not permitted. Please use care in the kitchen and see me for questions about using kitchen appliances.

The home is well stocked with cookware and dishes. I also keep some disposable plates, bowls and flatware around for times when we are busy, etc.

I work full time plus and I am working on my home. I have one large dog who is an only dog. She is 8 and half. I am allergic to cats. No additional pets, please.
