Anne's room

Nepean, ON K2G 0A1

NOTE: THE ROOM WHICH WAS AVAILABLE HAS NOW BEEN RENTED. AD WILL BE REACTIVATED IF ANOTHER ROOM BECOMES VACANT LATER. WISHING EVERYONE GOOD LUCK IN FINDING “JUST THE RIGHT SPOT” !!! Bright, 2nd floor room with ample closet space and a nature view, plus many free extra amenities, situated in a quiet, recently-renovated Tanglewood end unit townhouse located near Algonquin College. OC Transpo stops just steps from the door. Bus 53 takes you to Baseline Station, Algonquin College and College Square shops. From Baseline Station you can take Bus 111 to Carleton University. Alternatively you take the same bus heading in the opposite direction to get to Merivale Rd or Baseline Rd (near Walmart), Carling Avenue (near the Civic Hospital) and Tunney’s where you can connect to the O-Train if you want to go to U of O. The townhouse is located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood with open green space, a park and walking trails. Your bathroom, right outside your room, (with built-in bidet on the toilet and body jets in the shower/tub) is shared but there are a total of three bathrooms in the townhouse (one on each level) so there’s no shortage of bathrooms. Basement laundry room has free washer, dryer and chest freezer. Rent includes all utilities! There is central heating, effective central AC, a modern renovated kitchen with a full complement of cookware, cutlery, dishes, and glassware plus new stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, glass top electric range, microwave oven, Keurig machine, multi-temp kettle and large fridge). There is strong internet (hardwired to your room for gaming or business meetings plus wireless if you want to move around on your laptop) as well as many streaming services (Netflix, Prime Video, Crave, Disney+ and Dropout) which are provided free for your viewing enjoyment. Communal areas are already tastefully furnished (kitchen, dining room, living room, library and even patio furniture for the fully-fenced and very quiet backyard) so you don’t need to bring anything other than what you want to put in your private room. I can supply the following pieces for your room: a bed, side table, lamp, small chest of drawers, desk, desk chair, wall mirror, bar fridge, IKEA (4-cube) Expedit storage unit and more (even sheets and towels if needed). So let me know what you need! The start date is negotiable.

Four quiet young professionals, and two friendly indoor cats, were enjoying this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, well-located townhouse but one young lady married and moved out. While the roomies would prefer a new female roommate they are also open to sharing with someone who is non-binary, trans, etc. They prefer someone who is an ally of the rainbow community and who is also COVID-cautious. You must be a NON-SMOKER since the whole condo townhouse complex is non-smoking, but if you like to consume gummies or edibles, those are not prohibited. Absolutely no loud parties are allowed so it is a great place for folks who appreciate living in a peaceful environment or who need quiet for studying or for Zoom business meetings. The new roommate must be willing to share chores and to help keep the townhouse clean and tidy. Everyone cleans their own private room and helps with cleaning the shared areas but the roomies also hire a cleaner once a month do a thorough cleaning of all shared areas of the townhouse. You would be expected to contribute a share of the cost for the cleaning service (approx. $50/month/person). If you wish to share groceries and meal preparation that can be discussed with the roomies but you are also welcome to look after your own meals. There are large pantry cupboards (as shown in the “Tea Please” photo) where the roomies have arranged separate private shelves (one for each tenant) plus many communal shelves where you are free to help yourself to what is available for all to use/share (e.g.; salt, vanilla, spices, etc). Be aware that one tenant has an allergy to fish and seafood! If you are a good fit in the household, then a long term stay is preferred. I’m the landlady and can easily provide assistance with any problems that arise as I live only minutes away from the townhouse.

Here is a message the roomies asked me to ad: We’re into maintaining a queer- and trans-friendly space, supporting each other’s neurodivergences and disabilities (household Discord has a reminder bot), kindness, affectionate teasing, terrible puns, a fine blend of sarcasm and sincerity, group dinners, grocery swaps when convenient, keeping shared spaces very clean and mostly uncluttered, plants that are cat-safe, crafts (knitting, sewing, cross-stitch), being very thoughtful and saying thanks, doing favours, being open about mental health, being body-positive (no fatphobia or judging food choices) and sex-positive (we attempt quiet and discretion, but if a roomie has a partner stay over and you overhear things, you are invited to offer the offending couple high-fives in the hallway later), threatening to turn our vocal Bengal-mix cat into a hat (we love him very much but OMG), epic couch naps, creative swearing, and talking smack about each other’s tastes in TV and books.
