Cozy, treehouse-like home in a forested, rural setting.
Three bedrooms with a loft that can be utilized as a 4th bedroom or a general-purpose space (art studio, office, etc.). Two full baths and one-half bath. 2000+ square feet w/ four+ parking spaces and two decks (front and back) to fully enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful landscaping with a lawn, four raised garden beds containing blueberries, raspberries, herbs, and perennials. Old growth forest IS the backyard!
Our home is located within a co-housing community (also a homeowner’s association) called “Sharingwood”. The community collectively owns and maintains 39 acres of forest/greenbelt with trails that surround the homes in the community. There are also several other common elements like a common house (for community gatherings/meals/festivities), playfield, playground, community garden and a recycling center.
Living in a co-housing community is not like living in a regular neighborhood where you may or may not get to know your neighbors. In co-housing, everyone knows everyone, and they choose to work together to maintain the community, as well as relationships within the community.
Each adult member of the community (renters and owners alike) is expected to participate in two community teams or to be a convener of one team. Team signups occur once per year and there are a wide variety of teams to choose from.
By virtue of choosing to do things together, sharing meals together, participating in community led activities and supporting other community members in their time(s) of need, all residents have the chance to get to know and support each other.
Each property owner owns a home and a piece of land that the home sits on, as well as a share of the communal areas described above.
We are looking for renters who would be interested in not only renting a home in a beautiful setting but be willing to participate in the community and help it to thrive.
There is no religious, political,
or spiritual agenda, but rather an intention to live in community and communicate with one another.
When inquiring about the rental, please tell us about yourself(selves) and your pet (if you have one). Also, please tell us why you would like to live in a co-housing community, which features/activities of the community sound interesting to you and what you feel you could bring to the community. If you are interested in seeing the community and learning more about it prior to applying, please reach out to arrange a tour.
Requirements:
· Renter pays all utilities (water, gas, electricity, garbage/recycling and internet).
· Absolutely no smoking.
· One pet (small dog only; no cats or other animals) considered on a case-by-case basis with an additional, and refundable, pet deposit of $500.
· Tenant(s) must have a credit score of 720 or above and be willing to provide documentation that their monthly income is at least 3 times the rent.
· Tenants must be willing to do minor home upkeep tasks on their own, including, but not limited to:
o changing smoke alarm batteries,
o changing light bulbs,
o changing the furnace filter every 3 months,
o unclogging toilets and
o securing all food to minimize the potential for rodent visitors.
§ This home is IN the forest, so there are mice. If you are not comfortable w/ setting traps and dealing with the occasional rodent visitor, then please do not submit an application.
· Tenants must keep the home and yard tidy and allow landlords access to the home upon request (i.e. to take care of maintenance issues or tend to the landscape). Landlords will make every effort to communicate this need to the tenants at least 48 hours prior to needing entry.

Our family-friendly home in a beautiful co-housing community outside of Seattle is available to rent for a one year lease, starting July 15, 2024. Custom-built with plentiful, large windows and skylights, this home is perfect for people who want to live in the secluded beauty of a PNW forest while still having access to the neighborhood-y conveniences and connections of a tight-knit multigenerational community.
Location:
Our house is ideally located for both work and play, a 35-45 minute drive from Seattle, 30 minutes from Microsoft, 20 minutes from UW Bothell, and just over an hour from Stevens Pass and the Cascades. We are in unincorporated Snohomish county, between Woodinville and Monroe, just off Hwy 522 on the Echo Lake Rd exit.
Capacity: There are three bedrooms on the top floor, including a primary bedroom with built in closet and storage space, a second bedroom with a loft for adventures and imagination (or storage), and a third bedroom with built-in shelving and storage. The primary bathroom includes a soaker tub, and the other full bathroom has a shower. A half bath is attached to a full laundry room on the first floor. The kitchen, dining, and living room are open plan with vaulted ceilings and skylights as well as a large side deck facing into the land trust that surrounds our community, perfect for summer evening dinners al fresco. The lower level features a more private sitting room with wood stove and attached art/study space, as well as access to a second, smaller outdoor deck.
Amenities:
Wide plank wood floors throughout, with high quality appliances including a high-end gas range and Bosch dishwasher. Two decks and use of a gas grill. Electric, gas, internet, waste management, and water utilities are included, as are HOA fees! Two dedicated parking spots in a common parking area; EV charging available upon request. Pets negotiable.
As members of a co-housing community, residents also have access to an abundance of shared amenities, which include: a 23-acre forested greenbelt with trails, campground, and a stream; playgrounds and a playfield; productive community gardens and fruit trees; and a community center called the Common House, which can be used for shared meals and social events, and which also has a library and well-stocked pantry with kitchen staples for sale. Residents contribute to the community by serving on volunteer teams, including the garden team, recycling and sustainability team, dinner team, social team, and children’s team. Each adult resident contributes to one “core” team and one community life team.
