Hello!

I’m looking for a tidy, community-oriented, queer friendly roommate or ideally a couple to move into the master bedroom in a beautiful old Victorian 2 bed 2 bath house in the Buckman neighborhood. The room(s) will be available December 15th at the latest, but we can figure out an earlier move in date if needed. Rent for 1 other person would be $1425 before utilities, and rent for 2 other people would be $950 before utilities (total rent for the house is $2850/month.) If you need a lot of space, storage, and a second smaller room to use as an office, studio, or whatever else, this might be a good fit for you :-)

Really great location, very walkable, bikeable, public transitable, central to a lot of hot spots and most importantly, grocery stores:
0.2 mi from Market of Choice
1.5 mi from Fred Meyer
1 mi from H Mart
1 mi from New Seasons
The master bedroom has a bathroom with a shower + tub (not clawfoot, but a normal tub) and 2 closets.
There’s another smaller room in the house that could technically be another bedroom, but in my opinion, it would be a sad space to live in. Ideally, you can use this room for whatever your heart desires. Just keep in mind that I share a very thin wall with it.
In unit laundry room
The bedroom is right next to the kitchen, so if you’re not okay with the occasional smell of food or kitchen noises, that’s something to keep in mind.
Spacious kitchen with gas stove/oven, microwave, and a big pantry
Lots of space for furniture and decor in the house
High ceilings, no carpet
The floor looks like wood but isn’t wood, I’m not sure what it is
There’s a front + back door of the house, and the back door could be used as a private entrance for your side of the house if you wanted.
Very closed concept house with lots of doors to close off spaces whenever you need
Our rooms will be on opposite ends of the house, so we won’t hear each other much
House is old though so it is shaky, especially when the washing machine is going
Big unfinished basement with plenty of storage space
Shared backyard/courtyard situation with 3 other houses, space for potential gardening
Small front yard area
Really nice, considerate, and quiet neighbors!
Free street parking, but sometimes it can get a little competitive out there
Pets allowed, but no dogs. I have a cat and having a dog in the house would stress her out too much.

I like to keep a tidy space! I know everyone says that, but it’s really important to me. I want communal spaces to stay clean and available for use for anyone in the house. Ideally, you’re someone who cleans spaces right after you’re done using them, is up for splitting chores equally and consistently, and will keep any clutter or mess contained in your private space.

I care about decor and a warm, cozy, welcoming aesthetic and energy in the house. I’d be curious to know what kind of vibes you’re looking for in a house and what your taste in art is like!

I’m very quiet on my own, but I am pretty extroverted and I spend a lot of time not at home. Ideally, you’re someone who would be okay with me hosting dinner parties, craft nights, or other things like that every now and then. This isn’t a party house by any means, but I would like to have people over.

I don’t have pictures of the rooms empty yet, I reached out to the landlord and can provide these pictures once he sends those over. I’ve attached pictures of the house from the outside, the kitchen, laundry room, view from the front door, my cat, how the living/dining room looks when I’m hosting a dinner party, and my room so you can get a feel for my vibes.

Shoot me a message if you have any questions or if this is of any interest to you!
