    Sublease Opportunity: Private Room in Newly Renovated Castro Home We are pleased to offer a unique sublease opportunity for a private bedroom within a recently renovated, spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence located in the heart of the historic Castro District. This offering is ideal for a responsible and compatible individual seeking an established, vibrant, and welcoming home environment. Property Highlights Private Bedroom: Approximately 150 sq ft, featuring an attached closet and notably high ceilings, which enhance the sense of space. Shared Office/Storage: Access to a shared supplemental room (approx. 70 sq ft), suitable for storage or a small office area. Common Areas: * **Fully Equipped Kitchen.** * **1.5 Shared Bathrooms.** * **Two Furnished Living/Dining Areas providing ample space for relaxation and entertaining. * **In-Unit Washer/Dryer.** * **Outdoor Space Access to a shared **backyard patio**. * **Parking Reliable street parking typically available within a short 1-3 block radius. Prime Location * **Heart of the Castro Located steps away from the iconic Rainbow Walk, situated directly above the Walgreens on Market Street. * **Transit Access A short **3-minute walk** to Castro Station (Muni Metro) on Market Street, ensuring excellent connectivity. * **Neighborhood Just a few blocks from the famed **Dolores Park offering unparalleled access to the neighborhood's dining, culture, and entertainment. Rental Details * **Monthly Rent 1,575** (Note: Rent will be $1,525 before December, reflecting the current temporary sharing of the office space.) * **Availability Immediately available; we are targeting a move-in date before or in the very early days of November. * **Lease Term Subtenant replacement. Ideal Roommate Profile We are seeking a communicative, respectful, and queer-friendly individual who is cat allergen-free (two Emotional Support Animals reside on the premises). The current residents are social and enjoy shared activities such as multi-media projects, board games, movie nights, and exploring history/science. We highly value a communal dynamic and are looking for someone who is interested in building friendships, not just sharing space. (Preference for working professionals in their 20s.) Important Note Regarding the Bedroom Please be advised that the private bedroom is centrally located within the residence. This advantageous interior placement provides quiet sanctuary from the street noise on Castro. However, the window opens into a shared architectural gap between buildings, which limits the direct sunlight and view compared to the common areas. The kitchen and second living area, where residents often work, receive an abundance of natural light. Interested parties are invited to submit their inquiries. We will schedule an interview and tour for candidates who appear to be a good fit. The lease lasts until May 8, 2026 but the current roommates plan on extending! If you choose to sublet, you will agree to stay until May 8th but are welcome to join the lease afterwards!
