Housemate

Video sells itself. $1600 - $2300, huge 3,000 ft2 furnished house on Chestnut, 5 br, 4 ba, garage

tl;dr: A furnished brand new open-plan three floor house in the heart of the Marina. We have a sun deck, large yard, and garage. Heck, we even have Australian accents. What more could you want? Here is a video tour of the house:

Our house mates and friends have been cast for a reality TV show (yes, really!) and need to move out. Our loss, however, could be your gain - we’re currently looking for three awesome housemates to move in between 20 May and 1 June at latest.

About the House
There are five bedrooms: a self-contained unit on the bottom floor (with the garage and backyard); a middle floor common space with the fireplace room, dining room, kitchen, TV room, and balcony; and four bed rooms upstairs. The bedrooms all have complete privacy; and the common areas are big enough where you can entertain a group of people and another member of the household chill in another room unaffected.

Even though we have two Laundromats on our block, you don’t need to leave the house because we have a new washer and dryer unit installed in the three-car garage on the bottom level. Extra points if you can teach us how to use it beyond the basic functionality.

Our kitchen is filled with new all appliances (that includes the Lazy susan drawers). We have a TV room, a dinning room, and a fireplace room. Did we mention a balcony with a dual gas and charcoal BBQ?

Each of the rooms has a different price hence the range in the ad. Parking is available but at an additional rental on top of your room.

About the location
Stand on Divisadero and Chestnut St where we are and walk three blocks and you’ll soon realize you never have to venture further than that for anything you ever need to do living in San Francisco.

If you’re into Bikram yoga, you’re in luck as we live next door to a yoga studio. Need a ride downtown, a direct line to the Caltrain, or USF via the Haight? No worries, the 30, 30X, and 43 bus lines start or pass through our block.

If you need to drown your sorrows for missing one of the buses that leaves every 15 minutes, we also have a liquor store on the corner. To get Advil for the corresponding hangover, fortunately we have a Walgreens on our block – the 24 hour Walgreens that is.

While the Marina is renowned for its bars and awesome restaurants and nightlife - which are just a short stroll away - our place is in peaceful part of Chestnut, with easy access to street parking, the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts and only a few blocks from the fabulous vistas of Marina Green and Crissy Field.
