About Me

I'm 62 and my wife's 48. We live a low-key lifestyle and don’t have people over much. I work in IT and will be retiring from Cal in June. I enjoy spiritual topics (as does my wife), hiking, reading, theater and classical music. As I’m working from home and nearing retirement, I tend to be home a lot (even w/o C-19).

Move in Date Apr 2020
Lease Duration Month To Month
Age 62
Occupation It Soon To Be Retired
Hometown Valley Stream, Ny
Education Oberlin College

We think Barry’s room is fantastic! But in case you want to see more…

Available Room for Rent

$1100 - 165 sq ft Quiet Furnished Room w/PRIVATE Full Bath 1 mi from UC Berkeley

First, regarding Covid-19, we take the situation and shelter-in-place order very seriously by:
• regularly disinfecting doorknobs, light switches, faucets, cabinet handles and surfaces, including after food shopping
• increasing house ventilation during the day by keeping windows open if temperature permits
• washing our hands frequently
• mindfully practicing social distancing

Available immediately. My spouse and I are seeking one mature, quiet, responsible, neat/tidy, considerate male to rent a private room with private full bath and private frig in our 2-story shoe-free house within a mile (20-minute walk or 10-minute bike ride) of UC Berkeley. The room is for one person only. The house will be shared with the owner (me) and my wife, who lives here part-time. I’m a 62-year old male UC Berkeley staff member who will soon be retiring. The available room and bath are on the first floor. Our rooms are on the second floor.

The house is located in a peaceful, safe, Central Berkeley neighborhood (California St. near Bancroft) within a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Berkeley, 2 BART stations, AC transit, shops, restaurants, and movie theaters. The room is 165 sq. ft. and furnished with a queen-size mattress and bed frame, armoire, desk, chair and closet. Rent includes use of full laundry facilities, living room, full-size eat-in kitchen (incl. dishwasher and microwave) with stainless steel appliances, and use of a private, mini-frig/freezer. Approximately 1000 sq. ft. living space. House has central heat. Ample street parking with no permit required. Bike can be kept in basement, which can also be used for limited storage.

Seeking someone who can make a minimum 12-month commitment, communicates well, cleans up after himself and pays rent/expenses on time. Month-to-month rental. Move in costs include first/last month plus $500 security deposit ($2700 total). Rent includes garbage. Share 1/3 cost of PG&E/Water/Wi-Fi. Will need proof of income plus background check. If you’re a student, a financial aid packet is fine.

No pets, drugs, smoking (tobacco or pot), alcohol or parties. May work best for someone more on the introvert side who enjoys quiet, being independent (e.g. we tend to all eat at different times) and wants a place to retreat.

In your message tell a bit about yourself and let us know:
- Have you lived in a roommate/housemate situation before?
- Was there anything about your prior shared living situation you liked or didn’t like that you’d like to share?

Due to the current situation, we’ll be doing initial interviews by phone or Zoom. Thanks.
