Seeking artistic minded individual looking for a quiet country home. House share with a couple, two cats, and one dog (No additional pets). We love cooking, live music, and dancing. This is a cozy and well-loved home.
Birch Room is a large open plan room on the first floor, includes a large bay window, wood floors, private half-bathroom and two personal closets. Kitchen, laundry, and bathroom with shower is shared on the same floor with two housemates. Shared gardening space also available (would love to find someone who wants to care for the gardens with us!). Work trade also available for seasonal property maintenance tasks, and for occasional pet sitting if we are out of town for the weekend.
