I've come to realize that a 4 bedroom house for a single guy is a bit overkill, and could use some extra income to put towards projects around the house, so I've decided to rent out a room. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but wanted to put this out to gauge interest, at least before I list it on Craigslist.
So what I am offering is a single bedroom in the basement of my house in Lindstrom, MN. The bedroom is nicely finished with dimmer track-lighting, a closet, and built-in shelves. I will measure the bedroom soon. The rest of the basement is unfinished. There is a walk-out slider right off the bedroom. Walking up the steps leads to what could/would be a living area, with a bathroom/shower and laundry (this room is off the garage). The kitchen is also off this room (opposite side that the garage is on).
The house sits on 5 beautiful acres, with lots of trees, but not wooded. An abundance of lakes nearby, with one within walking distance. There is a large firepit and a garden. A garage stall will be included, and I have a separate small garage/large shed that could be used to store a car if desired. Wireless internet included.
I'm thinking around $500/month, everything included. So you write one check and you're done. Let me know if you have questions or comments.
Thanks!
