Adam S - $650/month

Room available in quiet close-in SE Portland neighborhood

My housemate moved in with her partner, and so I'm looking for someone to replace her. The rent is $650/month including all utilities, on a month-to-month basis so we can be sure it's a good fit for both of us. I don't expect a roommate to be my best friend, but I'd like to find someone whose personality and lifestyle meshes well with mine, and it's much more important to me to find the right person than to get someone in there right now. (In other words, yes, I'm picky.)

About the location:
- Quiet tree-filled residential neighborhood (Eastmoreland): between the Woodstock and Sellwood commercial areas, south of Reed College
- Easy on-street parking
- 15-minute drive to downtown; 2 miles south of Powell, 3.5 miles south of Burnside
- 1/3 mile from #19 and #75 bus lines, 1/2 mile from Springwater Trail, 1 mile from Orange MAX line

About your space:
- Main floor bedroom, 13'x8', unfurnished, with closet and large windows facing the backyard
- Your own separate dressing room, 9'x6', with lots of natural light, built-in wooden drawers, and more closet space — however, because it's only accessible via the bathroom, it can't be used as an office.

About the house:
- Two stories, 2.5BR/1BA, built in 1920; I've lived here for 16 years
- Big bathroom with vanity that includes plenty of drawers
- Shared kitchen, living room, and dining room are already furnished
- Dishwasher, washer/dryer in back of kitchen
- Basement and outdoor shed are available for storage
- Private fenced backyard with raspberries, fruit trees, and patio
- A small, goofy, well-behaved cat

About you:
- Professional with a reliable income source
- Non-smoker (this includes cannabis)
- You're OK with cats and have no pets of your own
- Prefer a quiet home environment
- Having a car would be ideal, because of the location
- Vaccinated

About me:
- Omnivorous, politically liberal, outdoorsy
- Work from an upstairs home office
- I keep the house pretty clutter-free, but I'm not a clean-freak

If you're potentially interested, send a note and tell me something about yourself and your situation, including contact info (e-mail and phone for sure, Facebook and/or LinkedIn if you have them). I may ask for references later in the process, and my previous housemates -- two of whom lived here for several years -- are willing to be references for me if you like.
