Take my house, please

[redsage]

3br 2ba house in Redwood City/Emerald Hills. Tons of closet space, finished basement, huge former garage/workshop, bi-level back deck/patio, 2 car garage (driveway fits 4 cars), chicken shack.... Garden has rosemary and lavender, tons of fruit trees: tiny plums, apples, pears, lemons, several heritage oaks. Charmingly visited by wildlife, quiet neighborhood. Kitchen has gas stove, dishwasher, nice refrigerator. Basement comes with washer and dryer in place, water heater enough for two simultaneous showers. Wired for data/phone in almost all rooms. New low-flow toilets in both bathrooms. View of the bay, can see fireworks everywhere from the roof. Awesome landlord is local, hands-off unless you need him, generally good guy. Dogs and cats welcome, and I think you could also have chickens and/or goats if you wanted. Close to 280, schools. 10 minute drive to CalTrain, downtown, new Whole Foods & remodeled Safeway.

Current rent is $2450/mo, and rumor has it that landlord won't up it for friends of ours. In fact, he's never raised it on us, and even lowered it a few years back.

and I have lived here for almost exactly 7 years. We love it, but we're both moving on and it's time to go. We'd love it if friends would move in, so we could make the moving experience that much easier for everyone. (Please save me from random people I don't know wandering through as the place gets shown.)

Are you interested? Do you know anyone who is? Let me know ASAP so we can get this rented to someone cool. Please feel free to pass this on, repost, etc. Contact tyrsalvia@gmail.com with your phone number and name (and if you're not a direct friend, how you heard about this).

Moving's kind of exciting

Are you guys all looking for a bigger place or something closer to San Francisco or heading in separate directions?

Fox and I are moving to Oakland, and Chris is moving elsewhere.

You found a place in Oakland? Awesome!

I'm having an ill run of synchronicity.

we just got the notice that we're getting kicked out of ours. :-(

but are naturally in Portland, and not over there.

When will it be available? Are the three bedrooms in close proximity (I've only seen two afaik)?

August 1

All three bedrooms are close together - two on one side of the hall, one on the other. You've seen mine, the master bedroom, and probably the middle one that we used for the television and cats. There is also Chris' room, which is on the same side of the hall as mine and has some neat built-in cabinets. Three walls are painted a medium blue, and cabinets and closet are a light blue.

gah!

I wish you could mail me a box of those lemons!

they were awesome.

if I could afford to move to the bay area without a posh job in advance, I'd want a place with a lemon tree.

Maybe if I manage to pare my life down to one room (HAH!) I could consider such a move, the next time my landlord sells out from under me.

It's way early on our timeline and I'm not sure if we could do it, but the house sounds almost perfect for us. I've got to talk to Lysella and I'll get back to you by email.

Let me know. It's a funky old house that has some issues, but I really love it and would be happy to have friends living here.

God, it sounds like paradise. Too bad I'm in NY.

I sent this on to some friends who might be looking. I'll let you know if they bite.

Awesome, thanks.
