Furnished room, private bath in large guest house

Ad ref# 102097965

We are a couple with 3 cats (those are the kids in our case) in a large, historic home that we live in and operate as a guest house. We have 4 guest rooms total, but we are now dedicating one room to folks who will stay with us longer (1 month+). The room is very private, situated by itself in a back hallway. The bathroom is situated next door to the room and will be your private bath! The room is furnished with a queen bed, 2 nightstands, desk, dresser, 2 chairs, and a brand new mini-fridge. There is a closet with an additional storage bin in the closet. The room has a dedicated mini-split AC unit that also has a heater to supplement the steam radiator heat in the cold months. There is a front (though really to the side of the house) porch with seating, and the door here is the main entry, accessible with your own personal code. The dining room and living room spaces are common areas, open to all to use. Laundry facilities are in the basement (as well as more fridge space).
Since you'll be settling in for a longer stay, you will share the well equipped and newly rehabbed (completed Oct 2019) kitchen with us (other guests do not have access to the kitchen). Molly loves to bake and does so most weekends for guests, and that includes our new roomie! The house sits on a 10,000 sq ft lot, and the yard and gardens include a rain garden, fire pit, hammock, and hot tub (shared amenity with guests and does have some rules to follow). We also doubled the vegetable and herb garden space this year, and we love sharing that bounty. We are flexible with move-in dates, as we've still been having the occasional short-term weekend guests in this room. Lease will be required though we offer month-to-month. Can also offer weekly arrangements, though the weekly rate is higher at $275 ($1100 monthly). A couple (and that's any couple, love is love!) would be comfortable in this room though the monthly rate would then increase to $1050 monthly or $300 weekly. We are in a great location in Germantown, across the street from the beautiful campus of the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and only 3/4 of a mile from Historic Rittenhouse Town and the nearest entrance to the Wissahickon. It's a very quick downhill bike ride to Kelly Dr and in pre-pandemic days, Molly regularly commuted by bike down Kelly to Spring Garden. The house is extremely close to Jefferson's East Falls campus and Drexel Medicine. Free street parking is available directly across the street from the house or we can discuss off-street parking in the driveway as a rent add-on. We look forward to your longer term stay and encourage you to come check out this room and see if we're a good match!
