My name is Chelsey Rich, I am a 27 year old woman, born and raised in Vermont.
I am seeking housing for myself, my partner & a friend. Ideally 2-3 bedrooms & nothing more than $2200 a month. Ideally we would like to move in the month of August. My friend has two cats, so pet friendly is key.
Also interested in any 1-2 bedroom options for just myself & partner, ideally for no more than $1200.
Not expecting these things but if there is:
Space for a garden, a porch & a good amount of natural light that would be lovely.
Ideally located in Lamoille County, as we all work in or close to Stowe. We are willing to commute as far as Montpelier/Barre & or Hardwick/Craftsbury if it’s the right fit. Ultimately nothing more than 45 minutes from Stowe.
I am a very polite, kind, thoughtful & professional young adult and I would say the same about my partner & friend. We all have interests or passions for nature, food, art, baking, animals, - & living in Vermont.
If you feel you have something to offer, my email is [email protected]
