Room with shared bath in beautiful new Palo Alto 4be/3.5ba townhouss

We're looking for a replacement for a room in a fantastic 4-bedroom 3.5-bath house on the border of Palo Alto and Mountain View. The room is on the third floor and shares a bath with one other person.

TIMING AND LEASE: The desired move-in date is between June 5 and 10. You would be taking over the lease for one of the vacating roommates and then starting a new one-year lease as of August 1. We're looking for someone longer-term, but we have changed out roommates mid-lease multiple times, and have extended the lease with only the most minor rent increases for the last 5 years.

LOCATION: The location is convenient for everything you could want. The house is right off of El Camino (but set back enough to not have street noise), a couple blocks north of the San Antonio Shopping Center. It's a 10-15 minute drive or 20-25 bike ride to Stanford, downtown Palo Alto, Sand Hill, downtown Mountain View, Google, etc. It's less than a 20 min walk to the San Antonio Caltrain station, and there's a bus a block away that runs to Palo Alto Caltrain or to San Jose. It's also walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and stores around the San Antonio Shopping Center. There are 6 groceries within a few blocks.

• We rotate who shares the two-car garage among the roommates. When not parked in the garage, there is easy street parking outside.

THE HOUSE: It's a three-story townhouse that was built about 5 years ago and is beautiful. There's central A/C throughout the house. There's a huge common space with a great kitchen (all-new appliances, dishwasher granite counters, etc.) and living room (big TV, the comfiest couch you will ever experience). The bottom floor has the available bedroom/bathroom and the garage only; the common areas are on the second floor and the other three bedrooms (including the master) are on the third floor. There's a washer and dryer in house on the third floor. The living room and kitchen, as well as all kitchen items like cookware, are shared. There's a balcony and a private ground-floor patio, plus a grill area shared by the neighbors.

There are 12 townhouses in the complex, mostly families. Parking is easy in either shared spaces in the driveway of the complex or on the street. There's a garage (parked in by other roommates) where you can store a bike.

THE ROOM: The room is about 120 square feet and is on the third floor, next to another bedroom with whom you'll share a bathroom right outside the room. The room next door, with whom you will share a bathroom, is going to be occupied by a new roommate who is moving in on July 1.

Each of the other two rooms has its own bathroom, and there's a separate guest half-bath, so this bathroom belongs to only you and the other roommate, and you can always use the half-bath as well.

THE ROOMMATES: There are 3 roommates in their late 20s to early 30s: a woman in sports medicine, a man in banking,and the new roommate who you share the bathroom with, who is a man doing a post-doc at Stanford. All are friendly/social and tend to be pretty early-bed-early-risers during the week (other than wine and TV), and who sometimes like to socialize (together or separately) on the weekends. All are decently neat but don't mind a bit of clutter. A fantastic cleaning team comes every two weeks.

THE RENT: The rent itself is $1540. This does not include utilities (about $75 a month), internet (about $25 a month), or cleaning ($60 a month).

NOTES:

• No pets.
• Skype or in-person interviews/tours work fine.
• Timing is flexible, and fit is more important than finding someone immediately, but timing is negotiable.
