Hello, and welcome to your next great place to live! I've dropped the rent on this room by $70 per month. It's a great deal! Come check it out. This house is on a quiet street with a park that has tennis and basketball courts across the street and over a few houses. There is a very nice community green space directly behind the home. It's close to Fort Belvoir and about 10 minutes to the Huntington Metro station which has plenty of parking for those who use Metro to the city. * Large new single family home in newer nice community * Ceramic tile, hardwood, and berber carpet floors * Kitchen with granite and stainless steel, all basic cookware * Living room adjoining kitchen great for relaxing (32" HDTV) * Dining room with spacious table that seats 6 * 2nd Level family room with large space, sectional sofa, and balcony (60" HDTV & home theater) * 2nd Level laundry facilities with washer & gas dryer * Great patio & garden for outdoor living * Community green space behind home and a county park across street & few houses down with tennis & basketball, wooded areas $725 REAR 3RD LEVEL BEDROOM * Available IMMEDIATELY * One huge window with bright, bright light * Room is 14 x 11 with a large walk-in closet * Ceiling fan & lights, lamp switch * Upgraded berber carpets * Same level bathroom on 3rd level shared with very clean male * In-room digital HD-capable cable, telephone, & high speed wireless internet The room is a bright LARGE unfurnished bedroom on the third level bedroom with same-level bathroom and plenty of storage in a walk-in closet. There may be room to bring a small table or desk if you'd like to place in the house's common areas. The owner of the home is a 40 yo gay man who splits his time between Alexandria and Rockville, MD with his partner. There is also a 20-something male professional who occupies the other 3rd level bedroom and a 40-something female who is in a smaller 2nd level room. The owner will stay at the home about once a week, take care of the garden and any repairs in the home. Owner prefers a one-year lease starting immediately after the application process, and with month-to-month after that. You will share 1/4 of utilities (gas, electric, water, and CATV/phone/internet). Owner will pay trash, community fees, security alarm monitoring, as well as for once-a-month MAID SERVICE. A lease application, $400 security deposit, credit & reference check, and a lease agreement are required. This place is worth every penny, is comfortable, safe, and you're going to like it here. Cleanliness is important in this household--you should be diligent about cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen and bathrooms, please. We are very relaxed and friendly, but all the basic common sense house rules apply (clean up after yourself, ask before you take, etc.). It would be great to find gay or gay-friendly housemates who want to create a home, not just a boarding room environment. Mutual privacy and respect assured.
