Pleasant main bedroom with private bathroom for rent. Female housemate looking for an active female housemate who enjoys themself and others. Sense of humor is a plus.
The house has a gas fireplace, backyard, common entry, and is across the street from a large park. The owner lives in the house and works from home.*
The house is on a peaceful neighborhood street with kind and thoughtful neighbors of varied ethnicities. Folks in the neighborhood like to walk to the park. The pleasant, grassy back and side yards overlook the park. They feature blueberries, raspberries, and space for you to plant if you’d like.
$1,200 - One light-filled room is for rent that is about 13 x 13, with vaulted ceiling, attached bathroom and two east-facing windows overlooking the grassy back yard and the park to the south. There is also an additional long/shallow south-facing window that provides privacy. There are two wide closets for storage of your belongings. The room is carpeted with new medium grey carpet. The room is separated from the other two bedrooms by a hall-- no walls are shared between the two spaces.
The first floor has a living room-kitchen open floor plan, with sliding doors that lead to the back patio and grass. The shared kitchen has an electric stove with oven, shared 1200 watt microwave, and toaster oven. The 2021 washer and dryer are located on the first floor but the garage space is not shared.
The 47 year old owner is an urban planner by trade and bought the house in Winter 21-22 and is hoping to find a person who feels positive about themself and others. She’s interested in architecture, art, and urban design and manages a complex project for pay. She’s lived on the East Coast (New York), Indonesia, and Ireland. She cooks a lot at home and goes to the gym. She manages a team remotely for the public sector. She drinks alcohol on occasion but doesn’t use any other mind altering substance in the house.
The home is in an authentic Portland neighborhood near a handful of local eateries and a Sunday farmer’s market. The house is on a bikeway traveling east-west, and about ½ mile north of the MAX red line. It’s just a few minutes' drive from Alameda Ridge/Fremont to the west and Montavilla to the south. It is about 10 minutes by car from Hollywood, including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Fred Meyer, and New Seasons.
Utilities are shared ($200 – 300). Garbage is included.
No pets.
No smoking.
Single occupancy.
Street parking is plentiful and free. Garage parking may be available for an additional fee.
The small grassy back yard looks across to the park and has an area that can be used for tenant gardening. There is a garage in which a tenant can store a bicycle; additional storage in the garage is not available but there are two wide closets in the rental room.
Available in the first or second week of May or later.
Please let me know your timeframe and a bit about yourself when writing.
