Enjoy peaceful living in a sunny private bedroom and a private bath in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath luxury condo in a safe, quiet, tree-shaded complex in Marina Bay. It's a a quick jump onto 580, minutes to Marin or the Bay Bridge. The complex is located on the Bay Trail and ideal for walks, cycling, and rollerblading along the bay. My current housemate is getting married, and she and her fiancé love it here so much that they just bought a place in the same complex! The condo is beautiful and sunny and on the second-floor. The bedroom, private bath, and common areas will be ready for a new housemate January 1. Bedroom furnishings are negotiable. Here are some of the luxury amenities:

• two beautiful heated swimming pools, and two hot tubs, tennis courts
• a very nice gym with cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights in the complex
• cathedral ceilings and natural fireplace
• in-home washer and dryer
• dishwasher, disposal and granite countertops
• wood floors in common areas and NEW carpeting in the bedroom
• NEW carpeting in the bedroom
• private bath with stone counters, beautiful fixtures, and good plumbing
• balcony overlooking lovely, man-made ‘lake” with ducks, geese and frogs
• community areas with ping-pong table and fussball
• walk to Bay Trail and bay side parks
• plenty of parking (we share one covered space, but there are lots of spaces steps from the condo)
• 24-hour security and friendly neighbors
• lots of trees and big windows to see them

I am a teacher in my 40s, progressive in my politics, spiritual, but not religious. I am social and prefer living with a housemate. I like gatherings and going out, but I work a lot during the academic year. I am open to housemates of all cultures. I am a non-smoker. I don’t do drugs and don’t want any part of them in my home. I’m allergic to cats and most dogs. A small dog might work, and the complex is ideal for dog-walking.

I am very respectful of common spaces, share them 50/50, keep them neat and clean, and I want a housemate who wants to treat our houseshare the same way. I have furniture and kitchen equipment, but I also have room to welcome your additions.

Tenancy is with a six-month lease and one month’s rent as a security deposit. Share PG&E. Rent includes all other utilities and services, including high-speed internet.
