Room Description

Two Rooms Available in Spacious, Well-Kept Home

I am looking for two male roommates to share a recently updated, spacious, and comfortable home. The rooms would be an excellent fit for graduate students or young professionals who value a respectful and friendly living environment.

Both rooms are in the basement, but have ample natural light and share a full bathroom.

The home offers bright bedrooms, generous closet space, multiple bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops, and several furnished common areas. There is plenty of room for studying, working from home, relaxing, or hosting a small group. Additional features include central heating and air conditioning, abundant natural light, ample storage, a detached garage, porch, and comfortable shared living and dining spaces.

We are recent graduate students and hope to have a home marked by mutual respect and cleanliness. Prospective roommates should be comfortable living in a Christian household and ideally be interested in developing a positive sense of community rather than simply sharing expenses.

    "People are always out walking their dogs, and a lot of dogs just hang out in the backyards in the summer so you start to get to know and recognize the homes here through the dogs and not the owners, haha. Also, lots of specialized dog stores and grooming. great place for a spoiled pooch! "
