Information about you:
- Looking for roommates to bond with! The last several years has taught us we want to be closer with our friends and create an intimate space for friendship. We will of course respect privacy and time alone, just want to make sure you are open to hanging out.
- Our cleanliness level can be described as neat maximalists. We like to keep shared spaces clean, but our decoration style includes a lot of detail. We are not the right roommates for type A or minimalists.
- Love animals (or like them) but don’t have any of your own. While we would love more animals we both have very particular pets that don’t get along well with others of their own breed.
- No-cigarette smoking inside (420 acceptable)
If you think this might be a good fit for you reach out! We can arrange a meetup first and then you can stop by to visit the house. While we are looking to rent in February, the room is currently unoccupied so you can see the space. It is currently furnished as a guest room but will be unfurnished and repainted before you move in.
Neighborhood: the house is situated in a beautiful historic neighborhood, just steps away from large historic homes and quick access to several amenities. We have a corner store a half block away as well as larger stores less than a mile away. A nearby coffee shop makes for a great morning stroll and we have nearby access to the Metro E Line.
Information about us:
- 2 queer women in our late 30's / early 40's
- partial work from home/in the office
- crafters/artists: we are both part time artists. One of us is a tie dye artist and the other is a stained glass artist.
