About This Lister

I'm a designer with an interest in intentional community. I bought this home in 2018 and fixed it up myself with the vision of creating affordable, peaceful artist housing within reach of the city. Most of the furnishings are mine, and I watch over the house from afar with the help of those who live there. I come and stay in the guest room every now and then to do maintenance. Current housemates are female and male, in their 20s and 30s. Some work from home, some like to hang out in the evenings, but it is generally pretty quiet. Everyone is expected to participate equally in meetings and chores and everything it takes to maintain a happy home.
