Maple hardwood floor with walnut trim (area-carpet option). Built-in, cherry-wood bookcases. Also built into the walls are 6 drawers for clothes or files. It’s a particularly beautiful room. Closet has built-in shelving as well. With the built-in’s the room is essentially self-furnished. The built-ins, the windows and doors take up most of the wall space. A futon bed/couch is provided, along with a small desk and chair.
This room shares a Bathroom.
$835 plus utilities (ie $835 rent + $115 for utilities = $950/mo)
Lends itself to those who like a ‘Zen’ setting - with style.
Everything is self-contained (built-in cabinets) - in your reach - yet spacious surroundings - opening to woods/trees.
The futon bed - that is a combo bed and couch - works well for both nite and day needs.
At 12x9, it is a modest sized room. Not big, not small.

We practice respectful, kind, keeping-current communication.
We respect each other's space. Our practice is to check in with each other to see if it's a good time to chat.
We stay mindful about our effect on others - not generating sounds that have effect outside the room.
Community areas include Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, Patios, Deck.
The shared areas trend toward quieter, soothing. We're also warmly amicable and genuinely happy to see, greet each other, catch-up. Harmonious.
We are generous with each other, gifting food, flowers, acts of service.
If you're spiritually inclined, akin to Bhuddism, that's a bonus :-)
If you'd like a gentle sense of 'community-lite' in a beautiful place, or
if you've been feeling some isolation in your current space - this could work well.
We actively recycle, compost to recognized standards.
Each of us attentively, actively conserves - electricity - heat - water -
Me? Artist, gardener.
Who else? We are a stable home of four.
The house is accustomed to a respectful mix of people.
This is a very clean house.
For us this means:
- Whenever we use the kitchen, we clean it up completely, right after use.
There’s no crumbs/splats/utensils left, and thots such as: 'Mostly' clean, 'Get to it later' - aren't going on.
- We leave our street-shoes at the door - due to hardwood floors and carpets.
- Each of us have a household chore that takes 25min every 2 wks.
It is important that we count on each of us to do our part, no later than the time agreed.
Basically, when the next person arrives in a space that it's beautiful for them and fully ready to use.
Incl in the $115 utilities is High Speed WiFi, Laundry, Filtered drinking water, Elec, Gas heat/cooking.
(premised on utility use being modest/conserving).
