About This Lister

We are in our late 60’s (young at heart) and have worked therapeutically using creative arts, music, yoga, nature, and spirituality in healthcare and community settings—newly retired.

We often go away to our country house in Pa for a week or so at a time.

We also have a another short term Listings roommate in her late 20’s in a small front room who is a teacher, poet, and will be your only roommate when we are away.

Our son and his fiancé  (in mid 30’s) live and work in the downstairs apartment and are artists/designers.

We’ve rented to quite a few artists/creatives/students/teachers over the years, mostly through Listings, and enjoy sharing our home and supporting those transitioning to NYC or looking for a change from city streets. We are friendly and engaging, but also offer quiet, privacy and your own space, and we are away a lot.

We also do have a large fluffy cat named Magic—he comes with us most times when we go away.

Interested? Feel like this could be a good match for you?
Let me know and we can talk further.
