1 bedroom in large, modern 5-bedroom home

We are looking to fill one bedroom in our 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath house. The house is a spacious (2300 sq. ft.), 2-story Redwood City home in a quiet neighborhood close to 101, downtown Redwood City, and shopping centers on El Camino. It is in the vicinity of railroad tracks, but we never hear train noises.

The four of us have been living together for 1-4 years, and one housemate is moving to the east coast. We have lived at this location for over 3 years and have a solid relationship with the homeowner.

• Synthetic hardwood floors and tile downstairs
• Bright, recessed lighting in every room
• Central heat and A/C

• 75" 4K TV
• Large backyard patio with waterfall, 2 grills, and a fire pit

• Weekly landscaping service included

• Second floor
• Unfurnished OR partially furnished (inquire for furniture details)
• Window overlooking side yard
• Wall-to-wall carpet

• Shared upstairs bathroom with two housemates, but one primarily uses the half-bathroom downstairs near his bedroom
• Available September 3 for an 8-month lease (through May 31, 2024), with a 1-year extension beyond that dependent on the homeowner moving back into the house
• Preference given to those who can begin paying rent on September 3 and stay for at least 8 months (early termination fee applies)

Utilities and internet have ranged from $50-$100 per month, mainly depending on sprinkler usage, with solar panels offsetting some of the electric bill.

ABOUT US
4 guys in our 20s and 30s:

• Engineer at a quantum computing company. Likes building and fixing electronics, a jack of all trades.

We often run into each other in the kitchen and catch up. We typically do our own things outside the house, but the door is usually open to hang out.

ABOUT YOU
We are looking for a laid-back, courteous, and responsible housemate who will contribute to keeping the place enjoyable and the kitchen clean. We want to maintain a respectful, friendly environment where we occasionally host dinners with friends or significant others, so we are looking for someone with similar goals.
