Character Room with Rooftop Patio Access — $764.03 — Nov 1
Bright, unfurnished room of approximately 166 sq. ft., plus a spacious closet, available November 1 near College & Ossington. Wood floors, high ceilings and a tall glass patio door give the room plenty of character.
PLEASE READ: SHARED PATIO ACCESS
Roommates and their guests access the shared rooftop patio by walking through this bedroom. This room suits someone comfortable with that arrangement. Hosting is discussed in advance, with consideration for the occupant’s schedule and privacy.
The patio is mainly used in spring and summer, much less in fall, and generally isn’t used in winter. Shared access is still part of the arrangement.
THE ROOM
• Approximately 166 sq. ft., excluding the closet.
• Faces the quieter rear of the apartment, away from College Street.
• Natural light comes through the large glass patio door; there is no separate window.
• Spacious closet with an especially high ceiling and plenty of storage potential.
• Located on the upper level of a two-level apartment.
• Unfurnished, with selected furniture available to purchase separately from the current occupant.
THE APARTMENT
An older apartment with character, wood floors and the visible wear that comes with age. Four roommates share the kitchen, one bathroom, and a rooftop patio/balcony with a barbecue.
The kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and toaster. TTC service is right outside, with Metro, laundromats, restaurants, cafés and other neighbourhood essentials nearby.
THE HOUSEHOLD
The current household includes women in their 30s, with some rooms changing occupants. We value a clean, considerate home where people can socialize while respecting each other’s downtime. We share chores and household supplies, and communicate about guests and shared spaces.
