Looking for an Entire Home | Willing to Housesit
Tenant Timing: From August 1, 2026 until July 31, 2027

Description

After eight lovely years of living smack dab in the lively Mission—and with our daughters now happily charting their college lives— Courtney and I (and Poppy, our "gateway" little dog) are looking for a year-long rental or sublet: a 2-bedroom-ish house, ideally in SF, though elsewhere in the Bay could work. While we take some time to find a home to purchase, we are open to: rentals, subleases, co-ops or co-tenancies (if there’s partitions and/or private floors). Our preferred location would be a hill– any hill from Bernal to Telegraph. Walkably close to BART (for my commute to Davis) is a plus, but not a deal-breaker. We are flexible and have great curiosity about many neighborhoods, ranging from North Beach to the Inner Sunset. Empty, furnished, or semi-furnished could work for us; Parking on premises would be amazing, but not required; Ideally, a convertible couch or bed in an office for when daughters return from school... Starting July 1, Aug 1, September 1, (or Sept 15, or Oct 1). Prefer a one-year lease, but open to other arrangements / possibilities.
