1 bdrm in a 2-bdrm house near Metro and 210 (Shared Housing)

Hello!

Offering a one bedroom (11ft x 11ft) in a 2-bd, 1.5-ba craftsman house for rent from Aug or Sept 2025 up through June 2026 (the academic year). I can do less, like a semester or something.

No couples, parents with children, or pets — just... one individual and ideally a student. The bedroom is furnished with: a twin-sized bed, desk and desk lamp, bookshelf, ceiling fan, large rug, nightstand and lamp. (Sorry, I cannot accept your furniture to replace the bed or the desk.) Two closets each offer built-in drawers and shelves, as well as racks for hangers. Three west-facing windows provide ample sunlight. Large shared bathroom offers two vanities and many drawers and cabinets. I'd also make room in the kitchen cupboards and in the refrigerator for your items. The house also has a breakfast nook as well as family, living, and dining rooms. The house is spartan with essential furniture and clean surfaces. Good fiber-optic wifi.

A garden surrounds the house and a gardener comes regularly to maintain it.

No smoking (except outside), no additional pets, partying, drugs/heavy alcohol, firearms, or overnight guests, please.

I am a middle-aged woman and work at the office 5 days per week and am pretty quiet. I spend my weekends mostly taking care of errands, being a handywoman for the inevitable fix around the house, and making visual art.

Aside from myself, there is also one more long-term tenant: a small, friendly cat who splits her time indoors and outdoors. (If you have a cat allergy, sorry this rental is not for you.)

Parking:
There is plenty of space on the street and it is shaded under old-growth oak. If you are a student, you just need to fill out the City's form and submit it for a permit. The fee is waived for students. If you are not a student, it costs about $80 per year.

Easy access to public transportation:
12-min walk to Metro A Line Allen Station
5-min walk to Pasadena Transit or Metro buses
2-min drive to 210 freeway

Rent: $1100 per month plus half of utilities (about $100 per month based on past experience) which is electricity, water, gas, trash. Looking at $1200 payment per month.

To move in, you’ll need to sign an agreement and provide first month's rent + $1300 deposit to move in. Rental agreement is month-to-month.
