Looking for: Brownie points if you are handy around the house. We have an awesome relationship with everyone here at the house and want to have a great addition to our group. We like the occasional roomie movie watching, dinner night, bar night, and now that we have good weather, hiking day! Also equally important is someone responsible, considerate, clean & tidy, quiet, no smoking, easygoing. Overnight guests ok, just keep bf/gf visits to a minimum and let your roommates know. :)

VERY IMPORTANT: everyone is expected to help with the cleaning and maintenance of the house whether you use amenities or not. This is very important for us and there will be NO exceptions so please make sure you’re ok with this. Weekly tasks are divided among roommates for bathroom, kitchen, dishwasher, trash and floors. (You would take over the task of the roommate that is leaving).

Amenities: Access to kitchen (light cooking), living room, washer and dryer, 1 parking spot, bathroom shared with 3 roommates. So far this hasn’t been an issue, but there is a second bathroom outside that can be used.

House supplies shared costs: Aside from utilities, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and house cleaning supplies. Amount is very minimal and usually every 3 months.
