Fabulous, unfurnished, basement, large studio, separate apartment in a three unit home located in a quiet neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. Home is close to loads of fantastic restaurants and just a stones throw away from the fun shopping areas of Mississippi district and Alberta Street. Public transport is easily accessible, too! We have a great walking score - one block from Peninsula Park and just a few blocks from the library, Cherry Sprout market, Chapel Pub, Indian/Ethiopian/Thai/Vietnamese restaurants, plant store, vintage store, record store etc. Apartment is 430 sq ft, has a kitchen/living area and a large bedroom area, full bathroom with shower. Full size refrigerator, plus recently added dishwasher and full size electric stove (not pictured.) Shared sauna and washer/dryer outside the apartment. Owner lives on main level and the upstairs unit is rented, as well. We have 4 dogs and a cat between us. Who your land mates are: Professional, eco-conscious living folks into nature, holistic living, art, authentic relating, the pursuit of community-based mindfulness and living life with awareness. Owner is BIPOC. What we are looking for in our home community: Someone who enjoys conscious living, is an open communicator, has moved beyond the party life, low-maintenance and considerate. A sense of positive humor in this chaotic world is a plus! Though we live separately and respect boundaries, we are hoping to find those who are warm, friendly, communicative and who enjoy engaging. Gardeners welcome as we have a shared yard and loads of sunlight! Everyone chips in with raking leaves in fall, shoveling snow in winter, weeding in spring, watering in summer (though most things are on a drip line.) This is a home with smell sensitivities so no synthetic scents please. This includes laundry detergents since the washer and dryer are shared. We do burn incense. No smoking on premises.
