Friendly, COVID-Conservative, Lower Elmwood Home
We’re seeking 2 housemates for our friendly, quiet, spacious, 100 year old Berkeley house a block north of Alta Bates Hospital, less than a mile from the UC Campus, and an easy walk to BART, Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, UC, and College Avenue. Prefer... people planning to stay at least a year. Join a researcher (F, late 40’s), and two active retirees [M, F].
The house has a living room with piano, large kitchen, guest room, three bathrooms, indoor hot tub, washer and dryer, and a wonderful back yard with redwood deck, vegetable garden, patio, and hammock.
Everyone here has made it through the pandemic thus far without contracting COVID, and we would like to keep it that way! If you are vaccinated and boosted and willing to wear a mask inside the house whenever other people are in the same room, then we will be unconcerned whether you mask elsewhere. Otherwise, we would need you to take the same precautions we do.
Currently we don’t wear masks in the house; we do wear them inside other buildings, except for rare indoor meals in the home of friends or at restaurants. During the first 5 days after we return from trips where we were unmasked, we spend minimal time unmasked in the kitchen when others are present.
The larger room, available is 11'4" x 12'.5" with 2 large windows and a large closet.
The smaller room is 10'6" x 14'6", with a large walk-in closet. It has two west facing windows, directly across the driveway from the house of our neighbors.
Utilities, (PGE, Water, and DSL) are included. We each chip in an extra $50 monthly for common expenses such as, paper towels, toilet paper, olive oil, and the newspaper. No meetings (we discuss by email) or mandatory activities, but we do have occasional voluntary brunches, movie nights, etc. Sorry, but no pets.
A good place for an independent person looking for a companionable home.
