About the household:
The homeowners are a professional woman (32) and her brother (27). Both maintain busy schedules and spend much of their time working, resulting in a calm and low-traffic household. This is not a communal living arrangement. We respect privacy and are looking for a tenant who values the same.

Comfortable with a respectful, independent landlord-tenant relationship.
Looking for a home rather than a highly social living situation.
