House share with Penn Faculty and 55 lb. muppet dog (Shared Housing)

This north facing sunny bedroom has two large windows, wood floors, and a large closet. The room is furnished with a full-sized bed, desk, bookshelves, nightstand, and bureau. This is the primary bedroom of the house. The bathroom is shared.

All... utilities and common household items are shared monthly (e.g. toilet paper, dish soap, etc). We share house cleaning responsibilities and clean once a week (mandatory). Rent is due on the first of the month, along with the previous month's utility bills.

This three-bedroom 1898 rowhouse is two stories. It has wood floors apart from the kitchen and bathroom. The house retains many of its original architectural features. The first floor contains a vestibule, entry hall, living room, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen door opens onto a back porch facing a small garden, rock outcrop, and wooded hillside. In the warm weather you can sit outside at the table and chairs to eat or work. The second floor contains three bedrooms, (front, middle and back of the house), and a bathroom. I use the middle bedroom as a study. The front and back bedrooms are separated by the bathroom and the study. The stairs and second floor hall are luminous due to the overhead skylight. There is a full basement with a washer/dryer. This is a shoeless house. The neighbors are friendly, equally quiet and respectful, and we help one another out as needed. We are walking distance to Main Street, the train station, bike path, and Wissahickon Park.

What I look for in a housemate is someone who is mindful of others, considerate, respectful, accountable, mature, clean, a strong communicator, has a sense of humour, is caring, and self-reliant.

I prefer to rent to someone who will commit to a school year (ca. 10 months). I will consider shorter stays depending upon availability.

I occasionally have friends over for meals and otherwise live a fairly quiet life.
