The house is 3 floors, you’d be on the 3rd floor with two other bedrooms and your bathroom would be shared with the one ~30yr old (M) professional. The shared kitchen/living/dining is the 2nd floor plus a half bathroom (no shower), and the other bedroom is on the entry level. The room is definitely small, but has a pretty large walk-in closet with lots of space. Everything pictured except the bed and lamp will be staying, including the standing desk that raises and lowers, the monitor shown, A/C in the room, and one shelf on the wall (above desk in picture) for a little extra storage. For those who want to bring their own furniture we’re open to “unfurnishing” it to make space for your stuff, just let me know that’s what you’re thinking. Also, the rainbows in the pictures are because the windows have privacy screens on them since there’s a house across so you can still have sunlight and keep your privacy. They can be removed but the window can’t be opened because of the A/C.
Plenty of parking as there's a culdesac behind the house with easy parking. QFC is also right behind the house so you can just walk for groceries and Fred Meyer is just a mile away so a quick drive down the street. Shoreline Costco is only twenty minutes and Greenlake is a little closer but in the other direction. We have several bus stops right next to us, the 28/D-Line is right behind QFC, 40-Line is in front (both less than 5 min walk) and there are stops for the 5-Line not too far (less than 10 min walk). We're around a 10 or 15 min drive from the Northgate Light Rail Station, which goes directly into the airport in under an hour ~$3 (otherwise ~30 min drive to the airport). Carkeek Park is right behind us ~1 min walk with east trails and can walk ~20 min all the way to the water. Otherwise, the park has nice trails that start right by us and is nice for a quick nature escape.
There’s a small backyard, gas stoves in the kitchen, and individual fridge/pantry space. Fridges are split by 2 people, we all do our own food separately but you’ll be sharing half of the big fridge in the kitchen with one other person. Rent is $875 a month, not including utilities which average to about $130 a month but are paid every 2 months separate from the rent (includes internet/gas/water/sewer/electric). Since utilities are paid every 2 months you wouldn’t owe them right away on move-in, they’re paid separately from the rent split with everyone. To move in you’ll owe 1st month ($875) + $600 security deposit for a total of $1,475. In general we don’t plan to keep the security deposit on move-out unless there is significant damage (more than wear & tear) and so far we’ve never kept anyone’s deposit.
We are currently filling two rooms (this being one of them), right now there are 3 other people living here: my partner & I (M/F) & one professional (M), with all of us being around 30. We’re all introverts, maybe 1 ambivert, and all on the neurodivergent side, usually doing our own things and keeping busy. No structured house events or forced socializing, if you’re pretty independent, don’t need a lot of socializing at home, and like a quiet house you’d probably be a good fit! We do ask people to do some simple chores (taking out trash, unloading dishwasher, etc.) just 2-3 times a week but can talk about what works best for everyone in terms of timing and rotation.
Just reach out telling us a little bit about yourself and some times you’d be free for a video call, after that we can talk about setting up an in-person tour. If it seems like we’re all a good fit together we can talk about the lease length, ideally we have long-term leases ending in the summer (~June 30th) but we can talk about preferences for lease length, 6-months would be the shortest lease.
