Helen's room

Southwest Calgary, AB T2H 1H4

We are looking for one woman to join our house share. We genuinely like sharing our home. Students are welcome if the goal is studying and getting through school well.

Rent includes your private bedroom on the main floor. It has a lot of storage for a small room, gleaming hardwood, soft blue walls, nicely furnished with a huge window that opens. The fully renovated bathroom is shared with one person. There are only two of us at the moment, both women 65+. Our last roommate was 47 and stayed for 2 years while she waited for, and got, geared to income housing. A miracle! That was last October. We are ready to have a new roommate now.

It is a fully renovated 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath house near Chinook mall. 2 stops from Mount Royal. It is furnished with good quality furniture and new appliances. If you have your own furniture, we can adapt. The main floor LR, DR, Kitchen and the front and back yards are shared.

It’s a calm, quiet home. We use headphones if we are listening to something on our own. Not everyone loves Joni Mitchell or wants to watch/hear Marvel movies.

This is ideal for someone who wants long term stability in a friendly, helpful place that is a home. Friendly, but not too friendly. We like our privacy. No one will ever go into your space or touch your things. You can personalize your space. Trust is paramount. You can have copies of my criminal record checks to help that along. I will expect the same from you.

There are lots of trees and green areas right in the neighbourhood and wonderful space between houses. Right now the birds are singing, the squirrels are chasing each other and the hares are hiding in the haskup bushes. It’s divine.

We have no pets at the moment but are willing to consider your pets IF they are well behaved and you never fail to pick up after them. Smoking is okay but only outside with butts going into the receptacles. Ditto if you use cannabis. But we wish you would quit. Come on now…let’s go for a walk instead!

There are two of us in the house on the main floor. I’m a retired healthcare professional, 67F. My roomie is a very active 69 year old who still works and can cook up a storm. I bought the house in 2017 and plan on staying forever.

It’s a clean, friendly home.
