Looking for a 5th housemate in a beautiful, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly 3 story Mt. Pleasant group house. Room is available August 2, 2025. One year lease.
The room is on the second floor and has two closets, radiator heating, and a big window with western light. A bathroom is shared with two other people on the same floor. The room is about 11x10ft and the walls are painted a light blue. Walls can be repainted if desired.
Even with multiple bedrooms, the house is large enough that you have a lot of quiet, personal space and privacy. High ceilings make the house feel very roomy and airy. There is central air and radiator heat in the house and a large laundry and storage room on 2nd floor. Utilities run $40- $80/mo depending on the season. The departing housemate has furniture (bed, etc) and is selling.
Yearlong lease. No pets allowed, unfortunately.
The shared living space includes a sitting room with a big western-facing window and huge kitchen with eating area and western exposure for lots of light. There is a back patio that is quiet and private. House is mostly furnished and kitchen is fully stocked but if you have some stuff, there's room for that too!
Parking is street parking. 95% of the time there is parking within one block of the house.
About the neighborhood: Mt. Pleasant is one of the greenest neighborhoods in DC. Lots of trees, and easy access into Rock Creek Park.
- lots of coffee shops, local grocers, and restaurants
- walking distance to the action in Adams Morgan and shopping in Columbia Heights
- lots of trees and beautiful walks
- farmer's market every Saturday just down the block
- literally 5 minutes into the woods in Rock Creek Park!
Transportation:
- 42 bus is around the corner and goes through Adams Morgan to Dupont Circle and Farragut West
- 16th St. buses are 3 blocks away and run north-south and go downtown.
- Columbia Heights metro is a 12 min walk
It's also only a 7 minute walk into Rock Creek Park with miles of bike and walking trails - easy escape into nature!
No smoking, drugs, or excessive alcohol consumption in the house.
About the current housemates:

Looking for housemates who are responsible, keep noise levels peaceful and quiet at night, and will take initiative on communal household tasks like taking out the trash, cleaning shared bathrooms etc.
Covid: all are vaxxed and boosted and the house is looking for the same. Looking for housemates that are willing to maintain open communication about exposure risk!
I am the landlord but there will be an open house to meet the housemates Sunday, June 8 or a virtual tour available Monday, June 9 or Tuesday June 10.
Please respond with information about your current employment and move in date and I will send more info about the open house.
