Excellent Location, UBC Campus, 2 Bd Apt /Female Roommate wanted
Description

Are you a mature, clean, tidy, pleasant, non-smoking female who wants to live on campus and minimize living expenses by sharing a home, but still live somewhere beautiful?

If so, then you may want to occupy one very clean, beautifully furnished private room in a shared apartment.

This room is available to one occupant only, and 3 references are required.

To inquire, to arrange an appointment to view this accommodation, or to send references e-mail aproksa@interchange.ubc.ca

THE EXCELLENT LOCATION
This fully furnished, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment is located on Larkin Drive near the center of UBC campus. This home is so centrally located that one can walk to anywhere on campus in about 15 minutes.

THE BUILDING
The lovely, new, quiet apartment building is only 4 stories high. It features a keyless entry system as well as an enter-phone at the main entrance with an option to pre-screen your visitors via in-suite cable. It also features convenient, secure bicycle storage rooms. Assigned, covered, secured parking is available, if you require it, for an additional fee. However, one can get by quite nicely without a car in this neighbourhood.

THE APARTMENT
The bright, south-facing, 2 bedroom apartment is on the ground level; therefore, it has higher ceilings (9 ft) and a large patio that opens directly onto the peaceful and beautifully landscaped inner courtyard (click on photo icon top right margin to view photos). The apartment has cream-colored carpeting, ceramic tile flooring, 2 full bathrooms, and Whirlpool appliances including a large fridge/freezer, stove, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The fireplace is electric. Hot water is included.

THE FURNISHINGS
The apartment is shared with my happy family. I pay BC Hydro for all the electricity used and I pay Shaw Cable for the digital TV and Movies (Movie Central and HBO Canada) and for the Shaw Highspeed (up to 7.5 Mbps download speed) internet service. The living room and dining room are fully furnished. The kitchen is open to the rest of the home and has two bar stools for the bar area. The kitchen has a microwave and it is fully equipped; therefore, you need not bring kitchen equipment unless you want to. The sun room is furnished with comfortable rattan patio furniture. The sunny patio has a cast aluminum patio table and chairs with cushions, a large sun umbrella, a large propane grill and several beautiful flower pots.

YOUR ROOM
Your bright, peaceful room is south-facing with a large sliding window, which opens onto the gorgeous courtyard. Horizontal blinds cover the window for complete privacy. Your closet has mirrored sliding doors and a shelf above the hanger-rod. A television-cable connection is activated in your room and you have the option of keeping the 20 inch colour television in your room or not. The room also has a telephone connection, which you can activate, but most people already have a cellular telephone. Your room has its own temperature control thermostat and is tastefully furnished with matching oak Queen-sized sleigh bed, 9-drawer dresser and mirror, and a 3-drawer bedside table. The room has wireless internet connectivity as well as a USB cable for more stable internet connectivity. The room does not have a desk.

THE SHARED BATHROOM
The second full bathroom is partially shared; specifically the cabinet and the extra-large shower stall with sliding glass doors are for your exclusive use -the rest is shared.

TRANSLINK BUS SERVICE
During the day, the C20 SW Marine Drive bus stops right outside our building every 30 minutes. However, living on campus means you will not need to take the bus and you will, therefore avoid the frustration of those living close to campus who regularly watch full buses driving right past.
