🧞You would be one of five people sharing/cocreating the space

🛏️ private bedroom +/-140 sq feet, shared bathroom with 2 other people

💲$725 + 1/5 utilities per month (long term rental)

📅 Oct 1st

THE DETAILS

Five folks have been sharing this home lovingly, and called it the 🌸Pink House🌸 since 2021!

We have been co-creating this home together for four years and we have really enjoyed cultivating a semi-collective, creative and peaceful house. We respect each other’s personal time/private space, but still come together as well. Given our diverse schedules and our desire to meet each other where we are at, we do not have set regular meals or chore charts, but co-maintain tidy and take responsibility to clean common areas. We rather hang/share a meal spontaneously. We don’t have many hard set rules/regulations outside of the typical pay your rent/utilities on time and

-no pets

-no smoking in the house

-no bigots

Our goal has been to not overcrowd the house, but rather to build a well-kept, functioning home that supports our, needs, lifestyles, and interests. As such, one of the six rooms is maintained as a communal recreational yoga/guest bedroom space.

YOU

We are looking for a roommate who is clean, communicative, mature, creative, active, and passionate about something. We like to have a good time but if you are a heavy partier/drinker, this will not be the best space for you.

THE HOME

This 6bd/3bt 2700sq ft home comes with a three-part living room, full kitchen, dining room, formal dining room, driveway/carport, front and back yard, electric fireplace, giant bean bag, yoga/guest room, and a perfect sunrise/sunset view that will bring tears to your eyes.

This house is NOT wheelchair accessible. There’s at least one step to get into the house and the bathrooms are upstairs.

THE AREA

This house is on the top of a hill in a nice neighbourhood that’s close to all of the amenities but far from the sound of traffic. Easy 15 minute walk to the Patterson skytrain station, Central Park, west end of Deer Lake Park; tons of restaurants, markets, grocery stores, and other stores close by; and the house is within close range of BCIT, Burnaby Hospital, and Metrotown.

❤️If you’ve made it this far; congrats! This might be the space for you! Send a message with some details about you.
