Lovely furnished room with office & yard in Richmond home only 15 min from campus

I'm looking for someone to move into my house as I'm graduating and moving to South Bay. It's only $1200 for a bedroom + office in a house shared with only one other person located in Richmond, CA (15 min drive from campus). Please excuse the... personal belongings in the photos - in the middle of moving out. Comes furnished!

Looking for: Someone clean, kind, and communicative. Extra points for: chill, fun, grad student/postdoc.
Rent: $1200/month plus utilities (~$150). (Security deposit $500, but may be waived)
Dates: Available May 9th, 2025 onward. Month to month or lease with option to renew.
House & amenities: 1120 sq ft house. 1 bedroom AND 1 home office in a fully furnished home. Living room with large TV. Dining room with table. Fully stocked kitchen. In home laundry + dryer. Fast home internet. Air conditioning/heating in all rooms. 1 shared bathroom with a really good shower. Lots of nice outdoor space - patio furniture, vegetable garden, flower beds, bike shed. Fully fenced yard.
Location: Near 580 & Marina Bay in Richmond, CA. My house is two blocks from this intersection, so about a 15 min drive to campus. It's also only a 15 min walk/3 min drive from BART and similar for the Ferry into SF. The neighborhood is mostly working class families. There's a neighborhood grocery store, donut shop, gas station, and Subway at this intersection.
Roommate: Current tenant is a 5th year Ph.D. student in Graduate Education at Cal. Female, mid 30s. She is awesome, very outdoorsy and active, and also very clean and communicative. Hands down the best roommate I've ever had. She mostly works from home during the weekdays. Her expected graduation is Dec 2025 - so after that you can help choose who to replace her with.
Parking: We have plenty of street parking and also one driveway spot. This house is most ideal if you have a car.
Chores: We have a monthly chore schedule. Please also clean up after yourself in the kitchen (wipe counters, sweep floor after use).
Pets: allowed with a cleaning deposit. No extra pet fee.
