Our roommate is moving away, so we’re looking for someone to take over the basement level of our shared home near Kerrisdale.
The space:
The basement is almost a self-contained suite. It has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, large living area, backyard entrance, and plenty of storage. There’s tons of space, and it would be great for a home office setup! The only shared item is the washer and dryer, which are on the main floor. This setup is ideal for someone who values their own private space but still wants the perks and social atmosphere of a large, well-equipped home.
The house:
The house is a massive, older character home; we’re in one of the rare situations in Vancouver where space isn’t a problem. We rent the whole place, and have it pretty decked out with amenities:
- 3.5 Bathrooms
- Fully stocked main floor kitchen
- Large dining room
- Huge backyard
- Off-street parking
- Covered deck w/ BBQ
- Good wifi with signal boosters
- Spare room for bikes/camping gear
- Spare bedroom upstairs for guests
Unfortunately we aren’t allowed pets at the house, and smoking isn’t allowed inside.
The location:
The house is located just off 45th on Granville. We’re very central in Vancouver, close to UBC, downtown, and Langara. The #10 (Downtown/Granville) bus stop is right out front and both the #41 and #49 (UBC/Metrotown) are a 5 minute walk. We’re also a 15 minute walk away from Kerrisdale (groceries, restaurants, gym, etc.) and the Arbutus greenway.
About us:
We’re two guys (engineer and software dev) in our early 30’s. We’ve been living here for 4-8 years. We’re pretty easy going, and are all into the outdoors (camping, hiking, biking, snowboarding, etc.). We aren’t huge partiers, but like to socialize and enjoy hot tub beers or the occasional dinner party/BBQ. One of the perks of a big house is it’s great for having people over!
We’re looking for a responsible, like-minded housemate who’s interested in filling the basement short term for 4-6 months. The basement is fairly separate, but we’d love to find someone who has similar interests as us!
If you are interested in coming to see the space, please respond with the following:
- A little about yourself
- Your work/study situation
- When you want to move in
- How long you plan to stay
