Housemate wanted! 2 bed/1 bath semi-private apartment available on quiet street in SW Philly

I am a Drexel medical student in my mid-30s (F), and am looking for a housemate (I own the house). I'm originally from Baltimore, and in my past life I was a wildlife biologist/professor. I have a vibrant, colorful design aesthetic, a love of plants,... DIYs, and funk vinyl, too many kitchen tools, and not enough hours in my day. I also have a Peloton that any housemate would have access to.

The unit is my semi-private basement, which has two bedrooms (both with a closet, windows, doors), tile floor, and a full bathroom (with a bidet). Both bedrooms get pretty good natural lighting. This is ideal for someone who wants a bedroom and an office. Laundry/HVAC closet is also located in the basement, and is shared.

The basement space is currently not furnished, but if furnishings are needed, we can potentially work something out (i.e. a bed & dresser).

Effectively, you would be sharing a house, but have your own private space (2 bed/1 bath). I l live in the upstairs. Joint spaces include the main floor (living room, dining area, kitchen (w/dishwasher)), laundry area (in basement), and back deck.

I have a video doorbell in front, and a security camera for the back deck. The house is on a pretty quiet street with mostly older folks/younger families with kids, and has open street parking. It is usually pretty easy to find parking right in front of, or very close to the house.

I drive to campus most days and am willing to carpool. House is a 10 min walk to the T2 and T3 SEPTA trolley lines, 20 min walk to the nearest SEPTA station, and ~25 min bikeride to Drexel's campus. Baltimore Ave is a ~8 min walk, and Clark Park is also within walking distance.

Pets considered on a case-by-case basis, and lease length is negotiable. Utilities vary by month and would be split 50:50 (ballpark ~$200/month average).

**If you Google the address, the Google Maps picture is from *before* the house was redone. Google the Zillow listing instead.**
