Rent: $1300/$1350 + split utilities (~ $100 per person, per month)

I have 3 rooms available in an awesome 4 bed/2 bath house with lots of parking in Palo Alto (Barron Park area). I have been living here for the last two years and am looking for 3 housemates to move in since my current housemates are all moving out (all able to work from home for the next year so they’re moving in with family). I'm thinking of taking the master bedroom/bathroom because of my work schedule but am flexible. The three rooms available will be sharing one bathroom. However, it is quite big and has a double sink.

The House:
~ 1475 sq ft in total
~ two car garage (spacious and has a washer and dryer installed)
~ lots of street parking (no permit required)
~ a sizable backyard with lemon and orange trees
~ a nice front yard with a long porch
~ The kitchen features an open top gas range stove, an oven, a refrigerator, dishwasher, and lots of cabinets.
~ The dining area is nicely sized and right next to the kitchen.
~ There are French doors and a sliding door that close the kitchen/dining areas off from the living room, which is quite big and spacious.
~ There is a large shared closet next to the entryway/foyer for coats, shoes, storage. There is also a shared linen closet in the hallway.

**Common spaces are currently furnished and will remain furnished ^^
**There is a bike path that leads directly to Stanford. I believe it is about a 15 minute bike ride to Stanford (10-12 minutes by car). It is also biking distance to shops on El Camino Real. This place is truly a gem!

The Rooms:
-Room 1 & 2 ($1,300)
These rooms are unfurnished and are about 10x10 with a large closet along one wall. Both rooms comfortably fit a large dresser or desk, twin/full sized bed, and still has floor space to spare. Both rooms also have windows and ground heating vents.

-Room 3 ($1,350)
The room is unfurnished and is about 11x11 with a large closet along one wall. It comfortably fits a dresser, desk, queen sized bed, and still has floor space to spare. This room has a large window and a ground heating vent.

About me:
I'm a Stanford alumnus who works at Stanford. However, I did have a 5-year teaching/counseling stint in South Korea prior to returning stateside in 2018. I keep common areas clean and am a respectful housemate who can have the realest of real talks if you're up for a few laughs haha. My job allows me to work from home for the majority of August-March and I travel during the summer. I also love to cook and occasionally host dinner parties that you would be more than welcome to participate in! Pretty laid back.

About you:
I am looking for friendly housemates who have steady incomes and are LGBTQ+ friendly, mature, responsible, respectful (keeps noise levels down and doesn't bring the party home), keep common areas clean, and want to have casual conversations. Significant others are welcome to stay over as long as they are not basically living with you haha. Other overnight guests are also okay as long as we give each other a heads up.

Logistics:
The rooms will be available on August 1st. You will need to go through the application process (application form and credit score check) with the landlord. Due upon move in is the first month's rent, and a security deposit equal to first month’s rent, and a $750 cleaning fee (will be used at the end of the lease period and any remaining funds will be returned). This is a one-year lease. The landlord is great and very responsive. No pets allowed.

I can arrange for a socially distanced home visit haha if you're in the area and can have a Skype call if you're not in the area.
