$450 - Beautiful room in Laurelhurst house, July 1

[ania]

This is a small room in a large house. Your roommates would be 1 thirtyish female electrical engineering graduate student/climber/skiier/cyclist, 1 thirtyish male geology postdoc/skiier/cyclist, and 1 thirtyish male computer science grad student. The room will be available in July and rent is $450 plus utilities. Utilities run, on average, $55/month. The house is a mile east of the Univ of Washington, in a quiet residential neighborhood with tall trees and friendly neighbors. It's a fairly large house. The four bedrooms and main bathroom are upstairs. The main floor consists of a living room, dining room, half-bath (sink & toilet), and nice big kitchen where three people can all cook together. The main bathroom is getting redone. The basement is where all the gear goes (skis, bikes, sleeping bags, boots, etc). The washer and drier are also down there. The yard has a pear tree, plum tree, compost bins, wild roses, a small garden, a roofed work area where you could build stuff, and a nice new outdoor shower. The driveway fits 2 cars and there is no problem with street parking. The Burke-Gilman trail (for bike commuting) is 2 blocks away. There's a bus stop nearby, too. I've nothing bad to say about the house. The people sticking around would prefer a woman in order to maintain gender balance in the house.
