Brock Avenue

Furnished Room for rent in bright and beautiful Langford townhouse. This includes a double bed (with linens), a bed side table, dresser, and desk. The room has a closet as well. There is a separate bathroom near the room (unless your willing to share the homes only bath tub). The laundry room, my office and bedroom are also on this floor (2nd). The rest of the space (1st floor) is shared -kitchen, laundry, main bathroom, balcony, living room. There is also a suite downstairs that has a permanent renter which is accessed by the street. Up top is the garage side entrance. This colorful fun space is close to Goldstream bus stops and countless amenities, all within a walking distance. Parking is available on the street (there are no guest/visitor parking spot’s). Pet negotiable with deposits. 3 months minimum, with possibility of signing for longer duration if things are working out.

This space is shared with myself, the landlord. I am a social worker for an NGO. I provide outreach services to the folks living in Westshore and Sooke impacted by poverty and substance use. I assist people requiring access to: harm reduction supplies/services, health care, social assistance, mental health and addictions services, as well as general wellness check ups. I am in my early 30’s and co own the property with my parent’s living in the Okanagan where I grew up. I also have a furry son, my cat named Zsa Zsa Gabor. I enjoy great music (jazz and house fan to name a few), bike rides, great food, yoga, and good movies. I keep very busy, you can often find me in the garage, doing art, organizing HR supplies (as I work from home), or preparing for an evening bike cruise. There is room for an applicant’s bike if they need. This is a busy lively household with music always being played, food being cooked, and friends stopping by. However, it is generally quiet during the day when I am working. I have a home office that I work out of, but am generally out of the house most of the afternoon, providing outreach services. Applicants must have an anti stigma view towards harm reduction services, homelessness, mental health, poverty, and various other issues affecting vulnerable people in our community. I require this for my home to create a safe space for myself, those living here, and friends that come by. This is also to protect applicants that may be impacted by trauma that could potentially be triggered by this environment.
It’s best that applicants are heavy sleepers as the townhouse is not completely sound prove. That said I am very respectful of tenants schedules to keep things to a dull roar after midnight. Having a sense of humour also helps. Working professionals and students are preferred. I also rent the downstairs suite of the townhouse, so it is important to be mindful of my tenant late in the evening.
