Upscale House Share in Northern Los Altos for 1 Person (3BR/2.5BA)

Stanford alumna looking for a compatible roommate to share an artisan home in the tranquil, upscale community of Northern Los Altos. This house is an oasis for anyone looking for a respite from the fast pace of life here in Silicon Valley. This house is located in a quiet, safe, and friendly neighborhood, which is away from main roads and where neighbors look out for each other, having annual potlucks.

This rental is unlike other advertisements where the renter is forced to co-habit with three or four other roommates. This house share will only be split between the renter and the owner (2 people in total). Since the owner is looking for only one renter, no married couples will be accepted. Also, no summer rentals will be considered; a one-year lease will be expected.

This posting is not merely a room to rent but rather an opportunity for this roommate to share in the beauty of this handcrafted home. The renter will have her own room (12ftx12ft), private bath (shower and tub), full access to the living room, dining room, kitchen, patio, office (3rd bedroom), patio and grounds (11,000 sq. ft). The renter will have adequate storage in all of the common areas and off street parking will be available on the wide driveway. The bedroom is furnished with a plantation-style, canopy bed and mattress and mahogany/tiger oak dressers (the furniture can be vacated if desired).

This three-bedroom/2.5 bath has an ideal location as it is situated in the heart of Silicon Valley. This house share is less than 1 mile from quaint downtown Los Altos (3 minutes driving or 15 minutes walking) and to two grocery stores and four coffee shops. It is equidistant between 280 and 101; and it is a 15-minute drive to Palo Alto and Mountain View.

This spacious, upscale 2,000 sq. ft. house has rustic, handcrafted furnishings accented by academic paintings and sketches, a professionally landscaped garden, and plank-style oak flooring. This showcase home was remodeled with bay windows overlooking the well-manicured gardens, an open-concept floor pattern linking kitchen and living room, handmade cabinetry, and a gazebo for a pleasant retreat. The house is Northern-facing and is flooded by the warmth and cheer of California sunshine.

The house is maintained by professional cleaning services at no cost to the lodger. The kitchen appliances are recently installed and there is wifi, cable (which runs to the bedroom), and an all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax machine.

The roommate needs to be respectful, clean and congenial. No smoking, pets, and drugs are allowed.

For all inquiries, please respond to the messenger. An application form will be required as well as a lease, cleaning deposit, and first month's rent.
