So my woman and I went and did it after 5 years together: we rented a house. A big one. So we are looking for a housemate. We move in on August 10 with a year lease. We have rights in the lease, with owner approval, for a housemate.
Location: Felton, dead end street tucked away off Highway 9 (no road noise). Easy access to best riding in the area. 10 min to Santa Cruz, 45 min to Silicon Valley. Walk to Felton stores, restaurants, river & state park.
The property: Sunny w trees, 1+ac, fenced, gated. Raised bed garden, redwoods, fire pit, hot tub. Detached 3 car garage w workshop and studio unit (owner in studio part time). You will have room to park a couple bikes in the garage with workshop for wrenching. Other vehicle parking in driveway.
The house: 2700 + sq. ft. with 4 beds and 2 baths upstairs, spacious downstairs with full bath, study, living room, dining room, large kitchen. Finished basement storage too. Large patios. Nice tree views. The basement other than our storage is a rented flat with a separate entrance on a different side than other entry to the home.
Who are we? Couple in our middle 40's. Professionals (realtor and engineer/contractor). I get my 10 and 13 year old daughter and son two weekends a month and a few weeks a year. We are pretty busy people. We work hard so we can ride motorbikes and travel. Preferably at the same time.
Who are you? Professional. Probably late 20's to late 50's. Maybe have a couple motos and appreciate a space for them. You're a mellow, no drama, "do what you say and say what you do" sort of person. You want your home to be a comfortable place to escape from the bustle and maybe play in the shop or garden. You tend to contribute a little more than a little less and actually like to do some chores because you find it strangely therapeutic. That's how we are.
Your space: Two of the four rooms upstairs plus full hall bath. We have the master suite, my kids get the medium room upstairs (that's who you share the full bath with the 4 days per month I get them), and you get the big and smaller room upstairs. Big room has a large window alcove and walk in closet. The small room is perfect for an office, also has a window alcove and walk in closet. This is perfect for someone that telecommutes a couple days a week or similar.
Your end of this would be $1000 a month plus your share of utilities.
This is for one person. Overnight guests no problem. If it turns into an additional housemate it won't be them we're asking to stay. Just saying.
Super nice place. Totally stoked we got it. If interested PM me we get the conversation started.
