About the house:
This 7 bedroom house turned 100 years old this year and has a lot of history! For many decades it was shared accommodation house for students. It was unmanaged , not well maintained, and it was very much a party frat house! Those days are long gone but I want to be clear that this house is NOT a beautifully maintained or restored heritage house! The house will eventually be redeveloped. I have lived here for the last 14 years. It took me several years to clean smoke smells from the walls ceilings and wood floors and create a more cozy Zen environment. It is a very expensive house to maintain and on occasion I rent only one bedroom on the main upper floor on a short term basis and offer below market rent for the Fairview area.
What I have available:
One sunny private bedroom on the main upper floor of the house, with Queen size bed, bedding, towels, mini fridge, desk and lamps with a walk in style closet.
Huge Sunny kitchen fully stocked with all you may need for cooking or baking and you will have your own full sized fridge!
I also have a large collection of storage containers for your food or left overs that you are welcome to use.
Shared bathroom has a lovely filtered rain shower with a handheld wand, and bath pillow. There is an empty rack in the shower for you to store your bathing products.
Yoga, meditation workout room /treadmill on main floor. ( This is a Livingroom transformed into a work out zone)
Large capacity washer (brand new) and dryer in basement ( not coin op and can accommodate king size bedding)
What I also include:
-Distilled water for the espresso and ice machines.
-Toilet paper, paper towel, tissues, tin foil, plastic wrap, wax paper, and parchment paper.
-Garbage bags of various sizes for kitchen, bathroom and your bedroom.
-Air fresheners in the bathroom
-Household cleaning products- huge variety from natural to professional grade, as well as all dish cleaning supplies
-I offer liquid laundry detergent and options of wool dryer balls or dryer sheets.
- As a former professional cleaner I clean the house daily with my professional steam cleaner so the kitchen and bathroom are always sanitized.
Single occupancy only, and no overnight guests. ( I don't have overnight guests either and tend to socialize out of the house because I work from home.) Sorry no pets as per owner rules. Not a party house, no drugs, vaping, or smoking inside the house please.
I cannot accommodate, remote or hybrid workers or students on weekdays. I work from home and have a daily cleaning routine that I prefer to do while my housemate or houseguest is at work or school.
I am looking for a mature responsible person that has a busy and active lifestyle. Someone that is dedicated to cleaning up after themselves (I appreciate a "clean as you cook" type person, as I am too!), participate in removing garbage/recycling every two weeks, and will pay the rent on time.
If you are looking for a quiet place to rest your head or a short term three month period or while you look for something more permanent this may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a viewing. I look forward to meeting you! I am showing the house every day until filled so if you see this ad, the room is available!
Please note I do not do video call tours, meeting in person is important for me to know who I may be sharing my home with.
