Room Available in Large, Social House

We are looking to fill one room in a 5bed/4bath house in San Marino. Located just east of Huntington Library, the house is around a half hour walk from Caltech or PCC, with lots of parks and bike-friendly roads nearby. The 0.4 acre lot provides plenty of outdoor area, including parking spots and room for pets to run around. There is a good amount of communal space in the house as well, including two dining areas and a tea room. We will be bringing in furniture like tables, chairs, beanbags, wrestling mats, and a home theater system. We may also be adding a small homemade sauna to the garage.

There are two possible room options available: either the formal living room for one person at around $1400/month (shown second-to-last photo), or the smaller master bedroom for two people at around $1700/month (shown in the last photo). The formal living room is quite large and comes with its own fireplace, but it will require sharing a bathroom. The smaller master bedroom has a private bathroom, and also a walk-in closet. Total rent for the property will be $7000/month, with a 2 year lease starting June 1st, though you don’t need to stay for all 2 years if you are interested in applying.

The current housemates are group of Caltech staff and current/former students, 3M and 2F, with ages between 22 and 27. Some of our hobbies include hiking, music, capoeira, and dancing (swing, fusion, and lots of other styles). We also have 1 Aussiedoodle puppy and 3 cats; the cats are relatively hypoallergenic, but we plan to designate some areas as pet-free to accommodate people with allergies. We’re looking forward to having a fun, social house environment, so that everyone can feel free to bring friends over for dinner, games, parties, or movie nights.
