Hello Peninsula house hunters! We have a room for you!

-This spacious downstairs bedroom a large glass sliding door providing direct access to the yard, some built in shelving, and is a great deal! Full disclosure, it is adjacent to the kitchen, and therefore can sometimes be noisier in the evenings when people are cooking (which is why the price is so low relative to its size)

The room is located in a spacious Palo Alto house with 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. We are currently a close group of 7 community-oriented housemates in our mid 20s to early 30s who work in energy, health, academia, gaming, and technology. We pride ourselves on our welcoming house dinners (about once every other week for the house), badminton hangouts in the yard, and sharing adventures.

Here's a little more about ourselves:

M spends her days running analytics for a local research institute in the education space and her weekends cycling, bouldering, and hiking. Her bacon-wrapped chicken toppled the competition at this year's house progressive. She brings her Sri Lankan spice to everything in life, but watch out for her habanero infused ceviche.

R is captivating and creative. You can find him practicing violin in the afternoons or using his extensive pop culture knowledge to win at Jeopardy. He brings a certain Southern California flair to the kitchen and enjoys making homemade pasta.

C is a graduate design student after giving up her dream of becoming a professional hang glider. She has planted broccoli, lettuce and radish in our backyard. Also lived in Mali so she is an expert in bambara (maybe). Her future work and location is still TBD, given her graduation in the next month.

S is a engineering student from France, currently completing an internship at Tesla. She can often be seen cooking quiche, doing backflips in the backyard, and plotting new tiktok videos.

House environment : We have a no tobacco smoking and no firearms policy. Several housemates enjoy a glass of wine or a beer in the evening. LGBTQIA+ friendly.

Our house has a two car garage currently filled with bikes, skis, surfboards, and other adventure implements, a spacious backyard with a fire pit, wood deck and grill, the most amazing hosting kitchen / living room / dining room / great room combo on the Peninsula. We're also walking distance to a fancy grocery store, Rick's Ice Cream, and the one and only Great Clips (ok, there's more than one...). Costco is a 2 minute drive.
