---------------------------------------------------------- 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. Call me at work at 885-1211 ext. 2732. Call me at home at 746-7153. Send e-mail to rbusch@watarts.uwaterloo.ca 'til later, Bob
