QR Code Link to This Post
Property is fenced with a gated yard, secure off-street parking with easy access to Barkley Center and all main vehicle, bus and bike arterials.
It's funky aweseome home, former meditation center, on a pretty quiet street, just south of Barkely Center. Quiet, private property with super easy bike/trail access to anywhere in town or up to Whatcom Falls Park, Galbi and beyond. Splendid year-round southern exposure with gardens to share, maintain and grow, if that's your thing. Lawn, mature shade trees, plenty of storage for toys/life with a detached shop w/ spare bed-loft. Firepits, hammocks, sun, shade, decks, patios, etc.
Home has a lot of personality, both inside and out, with space to breath, move, relax, play and grow. Very comfortably furnished, inside and out. There is also a spare room available for guests if ya got friends/family. Private front and back patios. Upstairs has a large yoga/gym/movement space and even a sunrise meditation nook. If you're a dancer, a yoga junkie, or just need to move this space is absolute heaven. It's also stocked with modest weights and functional fitness accessories, a rowing erg, bike rollers, etc !!!
Ideal tenant should:
- be outdoor orientated, if not obsessed, with bikes, boats, skis, van-life or other. We are lifer/daily cyclists and spend most daylight hours outside (and even a few night rides per week).
- be professional and mature adult and/or parent capable of respect, responsibilty and accountability ... it is a shared and adored home.
- Kitchen is well stocked with accessories (microwave, air-fryer, Instapot, a true espresso machine, numerous waffle irons, lots of cast iron, etc.) and is a nice place to cook. Big fridge, an extra freezer and other kitchen accessories/gadgets.
- be good, and ok, with kids around sometimes, as there is one grade-schooler here part-time on a week-on/week-off schedule (M-M every other week). Again, we play outside lots, leave early in the morning and often get home later after returning from some cycling adventure.
- have reliable income, history and references (this is an ideal spot short/med/long term, for grad students, traveling nurses, etc.) ... or just someone calm, cool and collected.
- pass a background check with flying colors. We MUST meet IN PERSON first, before showing the space.
- be a flexible and good human capable of sharing a home while calmly dancing with the hard realities of life and the world around us.
- Pets are TBD / No smoking
- Lease terms/price tbd, depending on needs. Medium or longer term options avaiable if we all decide it works.
Available room is a large downstairs, furnished or not (or partial, depending on your needs), bedroom with eastern/southern exposure. Downstairs bathroom is yours (expect for use by guests, as we use the upstairs facility).
Please contact me via C/L with a quick intro and a little on who you are and what you need, and I will respond asap. Will share more pictures once/if we connect. Available immediately. Thank you. It really is a cool little place with a big heart.
