ROOMMATE WANTED! About the space: Funky and beautiful industrial converted loft space with 13 foot ceilings, great natural light, ground-to-ceiling windows, built-in wine fridge, and W/D in unit totaling almost 1,500 square feet on the ground floor in the south Petworth/northern Columbia Heights area. Tons of closet space and storage, your own personal bathroom, and a pretty sweet and very large, elevated den space (pictured). The apartment is about 10-15 minutes by foot to the closest metro line (Green/Yellow), steps away from convenient bus lines, a 15-20 minute walk to Whole Foods, Giant, Safeway, Lidl, or Target, as well as a number of good neighborhood markets and farmers markets. Additional amenities: large gym in-building (about 5 steps outside the door), as well as a couple other amenities that make this place feel like home, including a shared (but somehow rarely used) rooftop deck, second floor party room (I've been told about but never found), mail room, bike storage room, among others. About you: Looking for move in ~ September 1st (some flexibility here), and to sign on for a 12 month lease. Current roommate does not want to leave the beautiful space, but is moving in with his fiancee! Room is $1400 monthly with a $1500 security deposit, utilities ~ $120 a month. No smoking, per the lease. Dogs allowed (slash... encouraged), but no cats unfortunately, cat allergies are not great. Unit CAN ALSO come with a space in the secured garage for an additional fee (negotiated with the landlord), thought there's also street parking, and I've never had issues finding a spot within a block or two. W/D in unit! Totally new HVAC system was put in a last year and works like a charm, new facet was put in in the kitchen, and there were some upgrades to the bathrooms as well. About your future roommate: I'm also a tenant, and have lived in this space for almost three years now, and just absolutely love it. I'm an early 30s male-identifying professional who enjoys all things sports, hip hop and r&b, singing, delicious single malt whisky and funky natural wine, watching standup comedy, and most of all, surrounding myself with empathetic, kind-hearted folks who try to make this a better, more equitable place for all. Open to living with anyone of all genders, as long as they're comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with them! Contact me if you're interested! Owner pays for water, tenants are responsible for electric, internet, and gas (has averaged out to about $120/person since I've been here, more in the dead of summer/winter, less when it's more reasonable. No smoking, per the lease. Dogs absolutely welcome, but sorry, no cats (I have bad cat allergies). Street parking, and I've never had issues finding a spot within a block or two. W/D in unit!
