Seeking Roommate - Concord NH
I’m a single mom and the owner of an awesome huge Victorian house - it has four bedrooms, my daughter and I each have our own room and I rent the other two out to help make ends meet. (Think somewhere between an intentional community and a boarding house.) I found two of my current roommates via a previous post here a few months ago - they’re great, a young couple who share a room - and the fourth bedroom will be available starting in October. I’m willing to consider either one person or a couple.
It’s $500 a month (and I’m willing to barter part of that for evening childcare - which basically just involves being somewhere in the house and keeping an ear out after my daughter goes to bed, she’s very self-sufficient and a heavy sleeper - or help with renovations, if either of those things are in your skillset) which includes all utilities and a professional cleaning crew for the common areas of the house every other week. It’s a nice-sized room on the second floor, lots of natural light, and you’d also have full use of all the common areas - big well-equipped kitchen with two refrigerators and a chest freezer, dining room/music room with a 1904 Steinway piano, living room, and two bathrooms, one with an amazing huge clawfoot tub. There’s a back yard with a spiral meditation garden and some fruit trees.
The biggest downside to the house is that it’s not wheelchair accessible. There are five steps to get into the house and the bedrooms are up a flight of 14 steps. I do make my daughter and her friends keep the halls and common areas free of toys and clutter though, since two of us have mobility issues.
I prefer a six or twelve month lease but I’d consider a shorter term arrangement as well. I’m very quiet, introverted, respectful,work long hours (at home - I run a web-based business) and live with chronic pain and atypical migraines; my other two housemates are even quieter than I am, one works and goes to school and the other is disabled. All of us are dedicated to maintaining safe space and making the house a peaceful refuge where people are accepted for who they are.
I’m sexwork-accepting (totally fine with quiet cam/phone/etc work in the house, not okay with people who don’t live here coming into the house in person) and have no issue with non-combusted medicinal cannabis but absolutely no smoking of any substances or any recreational drug use or partying. BDSM and polyamory friendly but please don’t tie anybody up in the living room or leave your toys in the bathtub; what you do in your bedroom with other consenting adults is your business!
If you’re interested, drop me a line: kythryne at gmail. We do have dogs and cats and my daughter has pet rats in her bedroom; other small caged pets in your room are okay but no more free-ranging animals due to allergies and territorial squabbles with the ones we already have, sorry. (A trained service dog who spends the majority of their time at home in your room could be feasible - we can talk.)
I’m happy to meet in a public space prior to doing a house tour and interview, and I can provide references from both current and previous housemates. Sorry, but we do require an in-person interview and a background check/security deposit.
