WHERE THE $225 GOES
The flat $225 monthly fee means no separate utility bills to split or track. Here's what it actually costs to run the home over a year, based on the last 12 months of bills:
Gas & electric: $3,583/year (~$299/month)
1 Gbps internet (Xfinity): $1,500/year ($125/month)
Water & trash: $780/year ($65/month)
Professional whole-home cleaning, twice monthly: $3,840/year ($320/month)
Total household costs: $9,703/year (~$809/month)
Split among three residents, that's about $270/month per person. Your $225 fee is less than your actual share.

ABOUT ME
I'm 38, born and raised in Colorado, and have run my own business in the financial industry for the past decade. I spend as much time outdoors as I can: backpacking, fishing, and snowboarding in the mountains. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures. At home I unwind with movie nights and live music. I value independence but also enjoy good conversation and new friendships. I'm a social drinker and a non-smoker.
THE DOGS
Meet Martin and Enzo, my two calm, friendly dachshunds who love meeting new people and spend most of the day napping. I'm not able to accept additional pets.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR
A respectful, tidy, motivated professional who keeps shared spaces clean and appreciates a courteous, easygoing home. All genders welcome.
