Room available in bright and spacious bike friendly 3bd/3br Bucktown apartment! We are on a very nice leafy street in Bucktown near Holstein Park. Most people are finding the walk to the Western Blue line stop or metra to be too far, but it's a perfect location if you get around on a cycle like we do. If you don't use the garage for your car, we will turn it into a bike storage/work area as we are pretty stocked with tools, spare parts, and know-how.

The apartment occupies the third and fourth floors of a 4-flat, and features a large living room, modern kitchen with pantry, dishwasher, central air, lots of storage space, laundry in the building and a backyard with patio furniture and communal grills.

The open bedroom is $600/mo. plus utilities and is available immediately. It is unfurnished, measures about 8x15ft, has a large closet with mirrored doors and a full bathroom across the hall (which you would have to yourself - we each have our own as well). Note that because this room the smallest of the three, we are asking less for it - we each pay $750/mo.

About us: Scott is a 31-year old lawyer who works in the Loop and Karlene is a 29-year old market researcher who works in Evanston. We are clean and respectful but pretty laid back - we both like cooking, music, beer and wine, riding our bikes, and watching awesome television shows like the Office and Flight of the Conchords. While we each have our group of friends, we sometimes hang out together, and plan to have some dinner parties over the next few months. We would like a roommate who is interested being social and might like to join us for these activities, go out for the occasional beer or show, etc.

The lease runs through Aug. 1st, 2010, and there is a security deposit of 1/3 rent. If you would like to move in before Sept. 1st, we would pro-rate the August rent accordingly. Also, if you have a car, there is a parking spot in the garage available starting on Sept. 1st for an additional $50/mo.

We have attached a few photos of the apartment (taken by previous tenant). If you’re interested in having a look at the place, send us an email and let us know a bit about yourself and when you’d be available to come by. Whisper if interested, Thanks!
