Wentworth Street South

Furnished bedroom for rent in a spacious and clean 3 bedroom 2 bathroom Victorian house (with a great backyard) near downtown (Main & Wentworth), at the edge of the historic Stinson neighbourhood. Female housemate only. What’s included: double bed, dresser, computer desk, bookshelf, reading chair, heat, hydro, internet (wifi), laundry. The art is optional. Shared bathrooms and kitchen (which has everything needed to cook meals) and use of common areas such as the living and dining room. No smoking in the house, and COVID vaccination/boosters are a must. You can walk to Jackson Square in under 30 minutes if you’re feeling ambitious, or take a 7 minute bus ride. The direct bus to McMaster takes about 15 minutes, and it’s easy to get to Mohawk College. If you commute to Toronto, the GO station is a 5 minute bus ride away. The grocery store is very close by, and the Escarpment Rail Trail is right up the street for leisurely hikes. This would be suitable for a grad student, visiting academic/researcher, studious undergrad, international student, young and mature professional, newcomer to the city.

The house is currently occupied by the homeowner and a second housemate. We’re 2 mature professional women in the education and university research sectors who work remotely part of the time. It’s generally a quiet house, and while friendly, we each value our privacy and independence. Tidiness is important, since we’re not that keen on housekeeping. There is also a cat and a dog (both friendly once they get to know you), so this would not be suitable for someone with allergies. We’re very pet friendly, but feel that 2 pets in the house is sufficient. Maintaining COVID vaccinations/boosters is important since one roommate is immune compromised.
