About This Lister

My name is Mark Michener. I have owned 257 12th Street (between 4th and 5th) for 40 years. I live in Pennsylvania. I take great pride in make this beautiful 127 brownstone as comfortable a living environment as possible. I am absurdly responsive should anything need to be addressed in the house. Although after 40 years of making improvements there is very little left to address. If nothing needs to be addressed, you will not hear from me. The house has a great vibe. This is what the housemates have told me when looking for a new housemate:

"Our ideal housemate would be clean, take initiative around the house (taking out trash etc.), be respectful of the other roommates and boundaries, have good communication skills, be friendly although not looking for roommates to be friends with (if it happens naturally that is great). Overall, we hope to find someone who is willing to contribute to keeping the wonderful and peaceful vibe we have going right now.
Recently we’ve put a lot of effort into refreshing the living space with new furniture and art and Mark has kindly updated the kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, medicine cabinets, etc. Rosa - our delightful cleaning lady comes every two weeks. We’re mainly looking for someone who is easy-going, independent and respectful of the rest of the housemates".
