My name is Theresa (aka Tree) and I’m seeking a community oriented and environmentally conscious housemate to join my 9-month lease Nov 16th - Aug 16th (but joining by Dec 1st is OK!). I will be moving into the cozy attic apartment of a 5-unit home called the Lookout Tower in Central Minneapolis (3329 2nd Ave S) with Joe Walz as the property caretaker. My vision is to transform the space into something of an artsy-nature home with forest themed decor and lots of plants and a few moss & mushroom terrariums (i.e. photos of the unit were staged), and minimal furniture in the shared space, which is on the smaller side. (Video link of unit below, and I want to add shelving in the kitchen over the counter too!)
Home Details:
- We’d split $1275 monthly rent for the 2-bedroom 1-bath attic apartment in this large 5-plex home.
- You pay $635 + half utilities ($50-75/month I’m guessing for wifi & electric & laundry).
- I’m open to housemates of any gender or orientation (I’m a heterosexual 42yo female)
- No cats/dogs, I’m sorry! (Caged mammals or reptiles ok, no birds)
- Shared coin washer/drier in the basement
- Small front yard with chairs & a small backyard with firepit coming into creation next to the driveway
- We would share the driveway parking spot for our unit. Off-street parking convenient.
- Next to highway 35 (but I didn’t find it noisy & couldn’t hear traffic inside the house!)
- Available storage (4’x6’) in the garage carriage house
- Bike rack outside
- Subleasing is available at any time for a $250 charge if you need to exit the lease.
My Vision for the Shared Home includes at least:
- We both work or play 20+hrs/week outside the home (no full-time remote work please, this home is too small.)
- Monthly shared meal with house-life checkin (e.g. share gratitudes, grievances, & new ideas for the home).
- A nature-themed, zenful decor and plants
- Clean shared spaces & shared weekly chore list
- Minimal furniture for shared spaces (i.e. living room & kitchen & bathroom)
- Typical quiet hours ~9am - 10pm M-Th (I sleep between 11:30pm-8am usually)
- No THC use in common areas (please & thank you)
- No commercial perfumes or colognes sprayed in the house (I am very sensitive), but essential oils & incense are welcome!
- TV/movie watching limited to agreed times/frequency in living room
- Tidy compost & recycling bins in kitchen
- Start a monthly house potluck focused on building house community!
About me: I would loosely describe myself as a bubbly extrovert with a contagious (often loud) laugh who vibes best with playfully creative, philosophical folk who enjoy connecting and communicating authentically, but who also understand the need for times of solitude. I have graduate degrees in plant ecology and study and teach about moss and lichens professionally. I embrace progressive values and practice and teach Nonviolent Communication (NVC). I am an artist trying to find more time for creative projects! Other weekly activities of mine include ecstatic dancing, hiking, acroyoga, running, and workout videos (which you are welcome to join me in anytime LOL!) I have a very restricted diet, so sharing meals won’t be easy, but sharing cooking time and eating together is always welcome, as is shared movie nights, yoga, dinner parties, hiking, those workout videos, etc!
Looking forward to hearing from those interested in making this Lookout Tower into a cozy, artsy home with me!
