Current housemates describe the house and their ideal housemate: Our ideal housemate would be clean, take initiative around the house (taking out trash etc.), be respectful of the other roommates and boundaries, have good communication skills, be friendly although not looking for roommates to be friends with (if it happens naturally that is great). Overall, we hope to find someone who is willing to contribute to keeping the wonderful and peaceful vibe we have going right now.
Recently we’ve put a lot of effort into refreshing the living space with new furniture and art and Mark has kindly updated a lot of the kitchen appliances. Rosa - our delightful cleaning lady comes every two weeks. We’re mainly looking for someone who is easy-going, independent and respectful of the rest of the housemates.

About This Lister

My name is Mark Michener. I am the owner and manager of 257 12th Street. I have owned the building for 37 years. Over the years we have done our best to upgrade and maintain this beautiful 126-year-old building so that it is close to its original state.

I am a very attentive landlord so if anything is not right in the building I want to know immediately and I always take care of the issue immediately. Although after 37 years of working on the house there is very little that needs to be taken care of. If nothing needs to be addressed, you will not hear from me. I live 150 miles away in Pennsylvania.

We have worked very hard to create a beautiful living space and the housemates have created a great community, and they take pride in the house. The housemates independently have hired a cleaning person who comes in every 2 weeks and cleans all the common spaces.
