About the room
Small (9’ x 12.3’) but sunny BR, with good-sized closet. Will fit a twin bed, desk, small bureau. (Will fit a double-sized bed, but then there’s no space for more than a small desk or bureau and a bedside table.) Currently furnished, but doesn’t have to be. It’s on 2nd floor where there are hard wood floors throughout. (Photos show 2 different set-ups for the room.) Large eat-in kitchen with pantry. 2 bathrooms. 2 underutilized living rooms. Porch off the kitchen. A lovely apple tree and raised beds out front, where landlady (whose principle rooms are downstairs) grows vegetables. Flower garden on the side of the house. Oakdale neighborhood is quiet, safe, and walking distance to Hannafords, Trader Joe’s, Back Cove, and bus stops.
About the roomies
Extremely quiet home. And also well maintained. There are 2 others living on the 2nd floor: One is in his 50s and works full time (and bakes brownies). One is in his 20s and is a full-time student at USM through Spring 2027. There’s another older 20 yo in the attic who works 3/4 time and goes to school. She’s been here for a while. I, the landlord, have my principle rooms downstairs. As I rent rooms, not apartments, I make sure the house stays neat and clean.
