K.T.'s room

Victoria, BC V8T 2L2

Sliding scale $1200-1400

Seeking a Peaceful Roommate to share with one other in a Creative Hideaway!

Imagine living in a bright master bedroom overlooking a lovely park, having a dreamy spare room/office with balcony, and living not with a house full of folks but just one clean and considerate roommate! I have this room available in a cozy home — a place where the kettle is often on, evenings are calm, and the walls tell stories through local art (by myself and others who have lived here).

The house is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Oaklands (not Oakland Ave.) — just a short stroll from Fernwood, Jubilee Hospital, Camosun College and UVIC, where you can enjoy your tea in the Spirit Garden next to the house. Sliding Scale $1200-$1400/month + hydro/heat & house expenses (internet, water, and gas are included). Scale depends on financial need and willingness to accommodate food allergies. Available September 1st or possibly August 1st (if needed). I’m hoping for a 1 year commitment but open to shorter (potentially) while looking for someone more long term.

About me: Friendly, mature, low-key, and a fan of a home that feels like a calm exhale. I enjoy a clean and quiet environment that feels like home. I have a BSW, I love meditating, cooking, baking, gardening, crafting, cycling, playing board games and sharing good food! I have lots of plants and a sweet bunny that will surely capture your heart 💜

Perks? A huge backyard and garden & Sun deck, easy/free street parking, basement storage, and a claw-foot tub where you can soak while gazing at our backyard jungle - perfect for a slow, restorative soak. Room can come with a lend of simple furniture (bed, dresser, shelf) if needed. :)

I’m looking for someone who values a peaceful home: clean, considerate, employed or studying, and content with quiet nights but not too early mornings. Would love to share meals sometimes and play board games but also appreciate having our own lives and privacy within that. If you enjoy shared spaces that stay tidy and the kind of conversation that knows when to pause, then this place will feel like home.

Please note that the room is for one person and sadly we can’t welcome any other pets, nor smokers as I’m allergic!

If interested, please DM me with answers to the following Qs:

1. Please tell me about you (age, occupation etc.) and your experience living with others and what your ideal living situation would look like (and for how long preferably?)
2. Can you tell me about your diet? I have severe allergies to certain foods (ie. dairy, peas, kiwis etc.), and allergies to a few others. Do you have any staples that you cannot live without?

Looking forward to meeting you!

I’m a friendly, community oriented, clean, stable, meditating and yogaing, calm, yet quirky gal who enjoys living with others and having time to myself, sharing awesome meals when inspiration strikes, and sharing stories with those around me. I’m searching for (and offer myself as) a clean, friendly, and reliable roommate who is skilled at living with others, and offers great communication and conflict resolution skills.. I’m in my 40s but engage in dance, song and play in a way that keeps me young, and allows me to relate with folks of all ages. 😊

Bun bun is easy going, friendly and has a great sense of humour. He’s loves people, ear and nose rubs, willow branches/leaves and knows where to and where not to do his business (he can often be mistaken as a house cat). But he’s the kind of pet that won’t keep you up at night or jump on your face to wake you up in the morning 🙃

We’re hoping to continue co-creating a respectful and solid living environment where we are all mindful, accountable and strive to cultivate a harmonious living environment. There’s an extra bedroom that will be set up as an office/art space. If you work from home on occasion or are a student, this could be the perfect place to have a place to study/work. The house is quiet but with a friendly and calm atmosphere allowing for the occasional potluck and games night. If you want to live in a comfortable, stable, clean and cozy home, and you feel drawn to co-habiting mindfully, then please inquire within :)

Thank you for taking the time to respond, and feel free to send us some questions too!

Looking forward to meeting you!
