Cedric's room

{House} The house is a detached furnished 1940s house with small kitchen, bathroom, narrow hallway and stairs.  It is bright, with hardwood flooring, front flower gardens and backyard vegetable raised beds.  On a quiet street with friendly, quiet neighbors. 

{Room 1} The newly painted bedroom is 4x2.8m (13’4“x9’4“) 124 sq ft North facing natural light filled by a very large window overlooking the backyard.  It is on the second floor with two closets.  An IKEA computer desk and an office chair is currently in the room.  They can be removed upon request.  I am willing to provide more furniture, let me know what you need. 

In summer months I can provide a portable AC in your room until I replace the broken central AC with a heat pump.

{Room 2} My daughter’s room is smaller and fully furnished.  She is living somewhere else and will not have any use for it for at least the next year.  It can be available for additional rent if there is an interest.

{Bathroom} It is on the ground level.  That means you need to go down the stairs every time you visit the bathroom.

{Environment} Completely non-smoking home with no parties, no drugs and no loud music. We’ll both clean the shared spaces.

{No pets please} I am allergic to cats and dogs.

{Safety} Smoke & CO Alarms and Fire Extinguisher on every floor, Fire Blanket in the kitchen. Exterior Motion Sensor Lights

{Visitors} I might have friends and my daughter over for   dinner only a few times a year.

{Utilities} Included in the rent is your share of heat +hydro +water =$94/mth  (winter higher, summer lower) Fiber optic high speed Internet $40/mth Cat6 cable to the room plus wifi

{Parking} On street parking available.  Off street parking available only when winter on street parking ban is on.

{Laundry} Washer and dryer are in the basement.  I use two clothes lines in the backyard year round.

{Neighbourhood} The house is in the heart of Westboro. A quiet walkable area.  Real Canadian Superstore (grocery) and cafes are a block away.  Farmers market (Summer to Fall) 15 minutes walk away. Byron bike path is a block away.

{Public transit} Bus #11, 51, 81 & 153 a block away. 15 minutes walk to the upcoming Westboro LRT station.

{Process} You are invited to tell me something about yourself.  If I have what you are looking for then we need to have a telephone chat before you come for a tour.  The next step is to figure out how compatible we can be.  After that I would like reference.  First and last month rent is required.

$750 (including $134 utility)

{Me} I’m an active and outdoorsy semi-retired carpenter with a university degree and a teaching certificate. 

I value open communication, cleanliness and respect for personal space.  I am drama-free and into peaceful, shared, living environment.

I’m a nonsmoker into good conversations with solid folks.  I tend to my vegetable garden and wormy composter.  I love thrifty finds, tasty spicy food, trail running and back country skiing.

I am in contact with previous housemates.  They can be available as my references to you.

{You} You are into healthy lifestyle, respectful relationships and live with minimal ecological footprint in mind and share the aforementioned values!
