Catherine's room
About the room
The worldโs most adorable room available for rent starting June 1st. (photos will be added of it unfurnished after 4/23) This petite room can be unfurnished if you have your own bed, or furnished or with a bed if needed. Otherwise itโs equipped with a full wall of built-in closets/storage/drawers and small desk. 2 walls in the room are huge windows looking into the backyard. Optionally, I can turn that room into the guest space and you could rent the larger basement room. The house is 100% fully equipped with everything you might need - full kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher, central heat and AC, storage in the basement, guest space in the basement, huge garden, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 8 chickens in the backyard. Ideally you work outside of the home, but thatโs not a deal breaker. You must love animals, be ok with dog hair on your stuff, and it would be super amazing if you were into occasional care-taking if needed. Ultra bonus if you also like gardening and cooking. I would prefer no smoking, 420 or drug use of any kind in the house (ex had substance abuse issues and I want that out of my life), drinking I am totally fine with as long as you donโt pilfer my bar cabinet!
About the roomies
I live in the house alone after a divorce and have been here almost 5 years. There is a super nice couple that lives in the apartment upstairs and they have been here almost as long as I have. The landlord has an ADU in a separate yard space at the back of the property - he is in town maybe 4-6 weeks per year. As the tenants of the main floor unit, we have 100% of the benefits of living in a big old house without the massive price tag. The apartment is about 1200 square feet, 2 bed and 1 bath, a 3rd, non-conforming bedroom in the basement. About me - I am a 43 year old female trying to get my life back in order after a mostly amicable divorce. I work in spirit sales, so I am regularly working from home as well as from my car on the road. I also drive to work on-site about an hour away 2 days per week. I am an avid gardener and I pride myself on the quality and quantity of vegetables and flowers I grow. I am also actively turning a lot the outdoor space into pollinator promoting areas. I am also a great cook/baker, eat everything (including meat - this is not a vegan or gluten free house), bake my own levain bread, make cultured butter, invent new cookie flavors on the regular, and love sharing. The 2 dogs are: Buddy - a senior (13.5) black lab mix and Miss Daisy - a 7 year old coonhound (she climbs trees). The queen of the house is Sox - an almost 12 year old tiny tuxedo cat (she goes outside during daylight hours). The 8 feathered girls in the backyard are great egg layers and also funny as hell. Plenty more to tell you about over time, looking forward to getting to know you as well.
