Spacious room in remodeled Redwood Heights townhome Hey there! I'm looking for a housemate in my remodeled 2BR/1.5BA townhome in Oakland's Redwood Heights neighborhood. Thanks for taking a look: THE HOUSE - The house is a two-story 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom townhome (1200 s/f) that's been newly remodeled. - It features gorgeous, dark hardwood floors & recessed lighting throughout the first floor, all-new stainless steel kitchen appliances and a high-end washer/dryer in house. - The entire first floor has been fully furnished and tastefully decorated and features a 47" LED HDTV with Blu-Ray and a Bose sound system. - The home also features a back deck that was recently rebuilt and features both a high-end propane grill and a Weber smoker for slow-cooking St. Louis- or Texas-style BBQ. THE ROOM The room is quite spacious (roughly 15' x 15') with new berber carpets, a ceiling fan with a light and tastefully painted with 2 large windows that have new blinds, a large closet with mirrored sliding glass doors. The room is the only part of the house you'd have to furnish, and is only two short steps from a full bath featuring a recessed heat lamp and granite vanity. AMENITIES - Off-street, covered parking available (by way of a 'gentleman's agreement' with a neighbor who doesn't have a car) - AT&T U-Verse: Elite Pro internet and U200 cable in high-definition with a second receiver for your room (and NFL RedZone during football season - yuuuup!) - Brand new washer/dryer in unit LOCATION Townhome is part of a 15-unit community in Oakland's safe, tree-lined Redwood Heights neighborhood, conveniently located less than 1 minute to I-580 and approximately 3 minutes from Highway 13. Only 7 minutes from downtown Oakland and 22 minutes from San Francisco's Financial District. For commuters to San Francisco (like myself), we're just two blocks from the NX3 Transbay bus stop and a highly-utilized Casual Carpool pickup location. (The NX3 Transbay bus stops ZERO times between pickup here and arrival in SF - seriously.) THE HOUSEMATE I'm a 31-year-old political consultant. I'm originally from DC, went to Cal and have lived in Oakland for 8 years. I love to cook (yeah, take advantage of that), watch football and enjoy really good wine. Except for being a political junkie, I'm pretty normal. PRICING & TERM $1199 per month. Water, garbage, and security alarm included. We'd split internet, cable & gas/electric. Available May 19. Looking ideally for a 6-month term to start, then month-to-month. SIDE NOTES - Some people are only comfortable living with men or women. I'm perfectly OK with either as long as we get along. - I do welcome your significant other to hang out and to stay over - so long as they don't become live-in. - I'm sure I'd love your pet, but unfortunately I'm allergic. TO APPLY To help me get to know you a little better, please e-mail me with a description of yourself and the date you'd be available to move in. I've gotten lucky with Craigslist housemates, so I'm hoping to strike gold again - but the more you share about yourself (eg. social media links, habits, etc.), the smoother the process will be. I look forward to meeting you!
