Two Rooms in Palo Alto House, with Stanford Alums, $1100/$1400

Come join our friendly and geeky community. We are a mixed-gender group of 7 people, all are recent Stanford grads in our late 20s/early 30s, working in a variety of fields in the Bay Area. Two rooms are opening up as housemates move elswhere for other jobs. LGBTQ Friendly. Drug-free, non-smoking, some alcohol is ok (but none of us actually drink that much). We are a group of gamers, and the house often serves as a venue for boardgames and tabletop RPGs on weekends. We generally cook as a group on weekends and individually during the week. Chores are shared equally among housemates. We are hoping for a new roommate who fits our house culture.

The house itself is a 6-bedroom, 4 bath in the Midtown area of Palo Alto. The house is about a 25-30 minute bike ride to Stanford campus, and can work well for a grad student or postdoc, we are also biking distance from Google, Downtown Palo Alto, San Antonio Shopping Center, and Caltrain. There is a large main kitchen, and a smaller kitchen in an attached inlaw unit. We also have a large living room area with many board games and a tv. We have a spacious backyard that includes a small vegetable garden, a few fruit trees, and a basketball hoop. Laundry machines in the garage. The house has all hardwood floors, and the property management company is responsive and helps us keep it in good repair, including gardening service. Street parking only. Our lease is strictly no pets, sorry.

Two private bedrooms are available. Single occupancy preferred (though occaisional overnight guests are fine). Both are unfurnished, but we have one extra twin-sized bed you can have. Both are available immediately, and we'd prefer someone who can move in by early January.

Room 1 is a converted office/library space immediately off the living room, next to the front door. Has no closet, but some built-in shelves. Shares bathroom with female housemate. Rent is $1100/month

Room 2 is in the quieter back corner of the house. Has regular-sized closet, shares bathroom with male housemate. Includes sliding door to backyard. The person in the room next door is very quiet, and we would prefer someone on the quiet side in this room as well. Rent is $1400/month.
