The Location is the best:
Stumble out the front door to the Caltrain station for day trips up to San Francisco, and right next to that beautiful downtown Sunnyvale and its Historic Murphy Avenue! Close to all the major tech campuses.

About me:
New to Sunnyvale, I?m a gay 41-year-old mohawked tech guy who sometimes acts like I'm still in my 20's. Full of contradictions I'm a geek who rides motorcycles, am spiritual but not religious, and I dislike fish but love sushi. I fly my freak flag high and am famous for making the world's best grilled cheese sandwich. I'm comfortable with a little temporary creative mess, but I try to clean it up within a couple days - not weeks. I collect interesting people (in my basement j/k) and love burners ravers punks goths theater types and other weirdos like myself. I'm super friendly (but not a pushover) and don't do too well with overly dominant or strong personalities.

About you:
I'm seeking housemates who are easy-going and pleasant, who will be friends first and housemates second. For this reason, I'm going to take my time finding the right match and will not accept any applications until things "just feel right". I'm only considering LGBTQ folks at this time (as that is a central theme of my life and want to be comfortable and be able to relate to you). Once your application is accepted, you will help choose the remaining housemate. Household decisions will be made by vote. I?m tolerant of all things in moderation, but please be a sane responsible adult who's respectful of the space and the neighbors. The lease is month-to-month with first and deposit at move in. Please have decent credit and rental history.

Here?s how the rent division is calculated based on square footage occupied to be as fair and transparent as possible:

Total House Interior = 1053ft?
Total Rent = $3,650 / 1053ft? = $3.4662 per ft?

Commons (excluding garage) = 554.35ft? /3 people = 184.7833ft?
Private Space Total= 498.65ft? (see divisions below)
Shared Bath = 54.64ft? /2 people = 27.32ft? (Beds 1&2)

Price per ft? rounded = $3.47

Bedrooms Available:
Bed 1 + closet = 122.29ft? + bath 27.32ft? = 149.61ft? + 184.7833ft? = 334.3933ft? x $3.47 = $1,160
Bed 2 + closet = 118.13ft? + bath 27.32ft? = 145.45ft? + 184.7833ft? = 330.2333ft? x $3.47 = $1,145
Bedroom Occupied:
Bed 3 + closet + Private Bath = 203.59ft? + 184.7833ft? = 388.3733ft? x $3.47 = $1,347

Total house rents collected monthly = $3,652.00

Total house deposit: $5K /3 = $1,667 per room on move-in

FREE ADD ON = 1/3 of shared garage storage

I?m in bedroom 3 but will share my private bath as necessary for scheduling conflicts.

Housemates will each contribute $50/month until we reach $2K to cover community expenses (such as rent gaps, annual cleaning costs, shared appliances, repairs, etc) which will be allocated by vote.

Sorry, no pets or smoking as per lease.

If you're interested, please reply with a little about yourself. Be candid open and honest, no judgement here. I?m not perfect, and I don?t expect anyone else to be.

Here's to finding a good buddy match.

Big Hugs!
