1 bedroom w/ private bathroom in large, fully-renovated 5-bedroom home

We are looking to fill one bedroom in our big 5-bedroom, 5.5 bath house, as early as August 15. The house is a very spacious (2540 sq. ft.), 2-story Redwood City home in a quiet neighborhood just off of Woodside Road, between 101 and 280. It is walking distance to Safeway, restaurants, two bars, and a shopping center. It was 100% renovated about 2 years ago, including all flooring, kitchen, addition of the entire second floor, 2 new bedrooms, and 2.5 new bathrooms. It's basically a 2-year old house.

One housemate is moving out to live with a friend, and the four remaining housemates have been together for 0-6 years. We have lived at this location for over 2 years. Our lease was recently extended for a third year, and we expect that the landlord will renew the lease again in 2027. Preference will be given to those who can fulfill the current lease through May 2027, if not longer.

The house is generally quiet, very clean, and does not seem like it houses 5 tenants. We sometimes run into each other in the kitchen and catch up. Occasionally we walk to the local dive bar for drinks. Otherwise, we typically do our own things, but the door is usually open to hang out.

ABOUT YOU
We are looking for a laid-back, clean, responsible housemate who will contribute to keeping the place enjoyable and the kitchen clean. There are strict rules about keeping the house organized, and cleaning up after yourself right away is an absolute must. We want to maintain a respectful, friendly environment where we occasionally host dinners/barbecues with friends or significant others.

WHAT TO DO
Please tell us a bit about yourself, your move-in timeline, and your soonest availability to do a virtual tour and/or in-person tour. We're not big on social media, but sharing your LinkedIn and/or Facebook would be helpful.

Thanks!
