  Two new, never-used bedrooms in student-owned house!
----------------------------------------------------------

I'm a 3rd year student at U of W, and I bought a house on Erb Street
in April of this year (yeah, I'm pretty surprised too!). It's a fairly
large house, with a total of six bedrooms, two full eat-in kitchens, 
two full bathrooms, and a living room/common area. I rented four of the
six bedrooms quite a while ago, but I've held off trying to rent the
remaining two because. . . . well, because they didn't really exist.
I'm finishing the basement now, and I'm building two large bedrooms.
Obviously, everything in these bedrooms will be new: walls, ceiling,
carpet, etc.          

Here's some details about the house:

- on Erb St. between King and Westmount; 15 min walk to campus
- two storey brick with large private backyard; garden, composter, patio
- free parking, one car can use the garage; so far, none of the four   
  tenants owns a car so there should be plenty of room
- free laundry facilities
- six bedrooms, two on each level
- bathroom on the top floor, bathroom on the main floor
- kitchen on the top floor, kitchen on the main floor
- dishwasher in main floor kitchen, everybody can use it
- microwave  in each kitchen
- phone jacks and cable TV jacks in every bedroom
- two separate phone lines, so there won't be much fighting for the
  phone after 11:00 :-)
- if you like bicycles, you'll like this place: I'm building a bike
  repair shop in the basement (don't worry, it's very separate from the
  bedrooms)

I've lived in basements before, so I know that noise can be a real     
problem. That's why I'm installing a special soundproof and fireproof
insulation in the ceilings and partitions. Basically, since I'm a student
and have, before April, always rented accomodation for myself, I'm aware
of common problems and annoyances -- so I'm doing whatever I can to     
eliminate them. And I don't have any stupid rules, either (like no
overnight guests. . . .).

Rent is $295 per month per room, plus 1/6 of the utilities (excluding
phone, cable, etc.). I need a one-year lease, but if you have to sublet
for any part of the year, I'll help you find someone.

At this point, the bedrooms aren't finished, but if you're interested in
looking at one (or both), let me know.
