Info
Looking for an affordable place to lay your head? This beautiful, well-maintained house at 5026 17th Ave NE (that is, only 2.5 blocks from the UW campus) has several rooms available, all starting on September 1st.
LOCATION
You couldn’t ask for a better spot to live. The UW campus is minutes away, as is the “Ave” with all of its shops, restaurants, buslines, bustle, and general awesomeness.
THE HOUSE
A clean, well-kept, beautiful place to live. Comes complete with a spacious, shared kitchen (with plenty of cabinets and fridge space, and recently remodeled); beautiful living room (which features a big TV with free, premium cable); pretty bathrooms on every floor; free internet; and an expansive porch where you can read while it rains or share some beers on a warm summer's day. Parking is available for rent in the rear ($60/month), and a coin-operated laundry is available in the basement, along with a spacious area where you can hang your bike inside. A cleaning service takes care of the common areas every two weeks, and everyone in the house has a monthly, rotating chore, which shouldn't take you more than a few minutes each week to complete. Twelve people live in the house all tolled -- eleven residents and your happy housing manager, who also happens to be the author of this ad.
See for yourself: a 3-minute walk-through tour video is available online, photos of the rooms are available via the links below, and you’re more than welcome to come in person and take a peek.
LEASING DETAILS
The lease is for a full year, September 1st (2016) to August 28th (2017). Last month's rent and a security deposit equal to your monthly rent are due at signing; your first month's rent is due when you move in. Your security deposit is 100% refundable upon the completion of your lease -- assuming, of course, that your room is undamaged. NO pets are allowed.
ATMOSPHERE
An equal mix of men and women live in the house; some are graduate students and the rest are undergrad. People here are fully capable of having a good time, but do so quietly and respectfully: this is not a party house. We have occasional house meetings and generally residents are expected to be both clean and respectful.
ROOMS & COSTS
The rooms and rents are listed below. The rent for each room INCLUDES UTILITIES. You do *not* pay for electricity, water, heat, internet, cable tv, or the cleaning service. That said, washing and drying your clothes costs $2 per load, and there is a fine if you do not complete your weekly chores (but since everyone is awesome, everyone already does). There is NO application fee.
All rooms are unfurnished.
Photos of each room are available at the links below, and - naturally - you're more than welcome to stop by and see for yourself!
