? OGDEN BASEMENT SUITE / HOUSEMATE WANTED — $1,400 ALL-INCLUSIVE
⭐ $700/MONTH FOR THE FIRST 2 MONTHS WITH A 1-YEAR LEASE⭐ ALL BILLS INCLUDED
Good day!
I’m looking for a respectful, responsible housemate to rent the downstairs suite in my home in Ogden.
I’ve owned the house for about 12 years and live upstairs on my own. I’m a medical professional and work rotating shifts, including nights, so I’m looking for someone who appreciates a quiet, comfortable and respectful home environment.
? THE SPACE
The downstairs is cozy, comfortable and fairly private:
• Private/separate entrance• Large primary bedroom• Smaller second room — great as an office, storage space or child’s room• Private in-suite laundry• Access to a second laundry setup if needed• Dishwasher• Electric wall-mounted fireplace• Newer flooring and fresh paint• Mudroom/entrance area• Shared backyard• BBQ• Shared hot tub access
There is a small connecting door between the upstairs and downstairs portions of the house, but otherwise the living spaces are separate.
I want to be upfront that it is a basement suite, so you will occasionally hear normal household noise from upstairs. Because of my rotating work schedule, though, the house is often particularly quiet during the daytime — which can be great if you work from home or appreciate daytime peace and quiet.
The basement also stays cool year-round. It’s fantastic during Calgary summers and great for people who prefer sleeping in a cooler environment. If you like your home very warm all the time, a basement suite may not be the best fit.
? RENT
$1,400/month — ALL BILLS INCLUDED
? SPECIAL: Sign a 1-year lease and pay only $700/month for your first TWO months.
After the introductory period, rent is the regular $1,400/month all-inclusive for the remainder of the lease.
Additional occupant: +$100/monthPet: +$25/month, depending on type, size and temperament.
? GREAT LOCATION
The house is beside a huge park, which is especially convenient if you have a dog.
You’re also close to the Ogden shopping district, Riverbend, grocery stores, restaurants and transit.
A few other perks:
• Grocery stores nearby• Transit within walking distance• Pub about 50 steps away• Huge park almost next door• Private entrance• Small backyard• BBQ• Shared hot tub• Pet-friendly-ish ?• All bills included
Pets are welcome depending on the animal. The suite probably isn't ideal for a very large pet, but I'm happy to discuss what you have.
? A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m a medical professional and have owned the house for about 12 years. I live alone upstairs and value having a home that is peaceful, friendly and respectful.
I’m also a Christian, and my faith and church community are an important part of my life. A like-minded Christian housemate would be especially welcome. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone where there is a good mutual fit and respect for each other and the home.
✉️ INTERESTED?
Instead of just sending “Is this available?”, please take a few minutes to tell me about yourself.
Helpful things to include are what you do for work, how long you've been with your employer, your current living situation, why you're moving, who would be living in the suite, any children or pets, your preferred move-in date, and whether you're looking for something short-term or potentially longer-term.
Basically, tell me the kinds of things you'd want to know about me if I were moving into your home.
If it sounds like we might be a good fit, we can arrange a time for you..
