We are in search of a Christian housemate to rent an upstairs bedroom (7.25 x 9 ft.) in our lovely all-women row house in the Petworth neighborhood of DC. The location is quiet, with the benefit of being a few blocks from multiple grocery stores, a metro stop, coffee shops and great restaurants, and a public library! We are seeking a 4th housemate who wants to join a friendly, clean, peaceful, faithful Christian household. Rent is a little under $800/month + utilities.
The Room: The room comes furnished with a bed, desk and chair and can come furnished with a small fabric dresser if desired. The owner of the room will also be allocated a closet directly outside the room.
About Us: 3 Christian women (ages 23-30) who work at various non-profits in the city and each attend a local church. The shared kitchen, living room, dining room, basement, and 3 bathrooms(!) have been remodeled and have beautiful interior design and natural light. There is one full bathroom upstairs and two half-baths (one on the main floor and one in the basement), and we use the full basement as a common room and for extra storage. The backyard is two-tiered with a back deck and brick patio with an amazing view of the city below.
Transportation, Parking, Local Amenities: The neighborhood is quiet and the house is a 15-minute walk from the Petworth/Georgia Ave. metro stop on the Yellow/Green line, and there are lots of bus routes nearby. There is street parking (Zone 4c), and Catholic University of America and the CUA metro stop (on the Red line) are 10-15 minute drive. Capitol Hill and downtown are about 20 minutes away by car. There are cute, local restaurants on Upshur Ave. only a few minutes away, and a Safeway and Yes! Organic Market only a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from the house. Rock Creek Park also is a 10-minute drive or a ~35 minute jog.
Ideal housemate: We are looking for a housemate who is clean, conscientious, dependable, and considerate. We are relaxed and low-key, in and out of the house for work, church, and social events. While we each have our own lives, friends, and communities, we also take time to socialize together informally, as well as through casual house dinners and parties. We have a routine for house chores. No pets or smoking allowed.
Rental terms: The room is available to rent the weekend of the 25th/26th of August. You would be signing on to the present lease, which runs through May 2025, (You can move out at any time as long as you find someone to replace yourself, and everyone must agree to re-sign the lease with the new person.) The room rents for a little under $800 per month. Utilities are split equally between us and usually range from $50 to $100, depending on the time of year.
