Nice Room, Full Bath, Garage Space ($800/month)

Hi there! I'm looking for a roommate to start sometime after August 25th. Please read the rest and contact me if you feel we would be a good roommate match! When you respond, PLEASE let me know a bit about you! About the place: I own an 1860 sq foot home 10 minutes from RTP on the Durham side of things (27703 zip code). Looking to rent the second bedroom (14.5' by 11.5'). The room is unfurnished but we can discuss furnished options if that is needed. The room comes with its own bathroom and its own garage space. The roommate will share the living room, kitchen, backyard etc. Rent would be $800 and we would share the cost of utilities (internet, water, gas, electric) with a $400 security deposit required upon move in. We can start with a 6-12 month lease and take it from there. About me: I'm a 42 year old single gay man. I'm friendly, mature, stable, liberal minded, and looking for the same in a roommate. I enjoy engaging with people but tend to need some downtime (social introvert or sensitive extravert). I tend to go out to socialize and recharge at home. I have two dogs (lab mixes) who are VERY sweet, well behaved, and will be either in the shared living area or with me when I'm in my bedroom. We can definitely keep them out of the roommate's bedroom but in general only dog lovers should apply. About you: The ideal roommate would also be friendly and social but maybe lean more towards introvert. Those that need to work from home would likely not be the best fit. The roommate should have proof of dependable income, be relatively clean, and a non smoker. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to connecting! Patrick
