Jennifer's room

Rent includes:

• private bedroom
• private bathroom with shower
• kitchenette area for daily basic needs and food storage: baker’s rack shelving, sink, microwave, kettle, WonderOven, and Nespresso pixie. A bar fridge could be provided if you don’t have your own
• small open cubby / closet
• street parking directly across from the house
• laundry on site
• garage storage (ie a bike and a few shelves)
• A/C

Your space is all on the first floor (no stairs), so it’s very private living. There is also an unfurnished living room with a new gas fireplace near your bedroom you can use, however it’s not fully private as I pass through to do laundry 1-2x a week (I will text you ahead of time, of course, or plan to do it when you’re out).

Non-smoker only, restrictions on scent/fragrance use, Teflon/PTFE/PFAS product free, air-quality conscious “green” home, due to pet birds and my own chemical & synthetic fragrance sensitivities.

My senior dog going blind and is wary of strangers, but we live on the upper level and have lived safely and comfortably with responsible roommates. My previous roommates really barely used the kitchen at all (I have food sensitivities too so I can’t share a lot of stuff and need to keep meticulously clean, hence the kitchenette provided), so I’m used to that kind of arrangement.

A good fit is what’s most important to me, this means:

• Someone who can be trusted to communicate and follow the bird-safe guidelines impeccably; you must respect their lives and safety
• Someone responsible and professional, who keeps their personal spaces hygienic (lived in clutter is fine, letting things get gross isn’t)
• Someone who also doesn’t mind the accommodations for my senior dog who will not have any contact with a roommate. He’s crate trained and has to go in the crate if you’re going to the kitchen to cook, so a 15 mins head’s up when you need to use it is required, or we have an established schedule. Since I work from home, and he’s crated when I go out, this has been fairly straightforward as previous roommates really didn’t use the kitchen, or barely needed to
• Someone who wants to create a peaceful, respectful, clean, drama-free living environment

I’m a relatively quiet and introverted designer working for the federal government. I need a quiet environment during the work week. I also run a small business in my free time. My hobbies include playing video games, drawing, painting, cooking and I do yoga and workout in my free time.

I keep to myself mostly, but am friendly, respectful and clean. I am quiet and rarely have guests (like once a week max).

I have a senior dog (who won’t have contact with any roommates due to his health) and pet birds.
