Professor's Home in Barron Park Available for Fall Quarter

Comfortably furnished 5-bedroom, 3-bath home available for 2016 Fall quarter (approximately 9/15-12/15, some flexibility). Zillow estimates the market rent on our house as $9,200/month (shocking, I know!), but we will be offering it at a substantial negotiated discount in return for taking care of two resident 10-year-old dogs, Riley and Koa, and one 9-year-old cat, Milo. (We'd like to get $4,500 but will consider all offers, and we're asking $6,500 a month without the pets.) We wouldprovide you with contact information for reliable pet sitters should you want to go away for any weekends in the fall. We're looking for tenants who will treat out pets as their own. This is a 20-year-old two-story home in the lovely Barron Park neighborhood of Palo Alto, 2 1/2 miles from Stanford, with a bike path to the campus at the end of the street and public transportation and Highways 101 and 280 nearby. One of the bedrooms is set up as an office, and we will probably use another small bedroom for storage while we're gone, which would mean you would have three bedrooms (one with a King-sized bed, two with Queens) available for your use, plus an office. There's a family room with a flat-screen TV plus a living room with a gas fireplace, a dining room, modern eat-in kitchen and a large backyard with gas grill and mature orange, lemon and live oak trees. Parking will be available in the driveway. Piano, electric keyboard, two adult bikes and two kayaks available for your use. One of Palo Alto's friendliest neighborhoods, with a delightful park, complete with two resident community-owned donkeys, at the end of our street! Contact ExiledtoParadise@gmail.com
