I am a 68 year old man, retired from university teaching and work abroad for the UN, with an active but quiet life, working fulltime from home on my web business and writing. My wife and sons are living abroad for an extended period.
I don't care about gender or sexual orientation. Decency, respect, and healthy boundaries in relationship to others are my main requirements. Would consider a well-mannered dog or cat if kept downstairs.
I will be gone for large blocks of time. Two months this Fall and another two months in the Spring when I will be with my family. When I am here, I spend most of my time in my office, a former screened-in porch just off the kitchen, on one end of the house.

Available Room for Rent
Houseshare on quiet wooded street (Silver Spring)
I have a lovely ranch style house, overlooking a stream on a quiet wooded street on the edge of Takoma Park, on Parkside Rd., Silver Spring and I'm looking for 1-3 people on a sharing basis.
You would have most of the basement for yourself, with 2 spacious rooms. They are completely above ground on one side with big windows overlooking woods and stream. One opens onto a deck with direct access from outside for the basement.
One room has a wonderful light, airy quality with new wooden floor and could be a large bedroom/living room/office. The other room is carpeted.
There's a small powder room (no shower) in basement, and you would have the main bath upstairs to yourself. the basement includes a laundry room with sink and small fridge and microwave. The entire basement can be considered yours (with the exception of the laundry room, which is shared, and a workshop/storage area which I need occasional brief access to).
The upstairs kitchen is shared space.
I will consider the kitchen and living area upstairs as common space - it is comfortable, spacious, and light, but I'd like renters who, like me, spend the bulk of their time at work and/or in their own space.
I'm asking $1300 per month for 1 person, $1450 for 2.
Price will include high-speed wifi access and all utilities and heat. There's free parking on the street with no posted parking restrictions. I will pay someone to clean once a month and expect renters to do occasional cleaning in between.
This is a safe area, with wonderful walking and biking opportunities. Just down the hill, 3 blocks away, is the Sligo Creek with a beautiful lateral park and walking path that goes for miles. The Takoma Metro is a walk of 15-20 minutes from here. Downtown Silver Spring is about same distance. A Whole Foods store and a Giant store are also both about 15 minutes walk.
The pictures are hastily shot and reflect the chaos in our house in a time of transition. They don't capture the real beauty of this house, especially the large wood-floored room in the basement.
