I am considering a long journey. I am tentatively considering a 1 year stay away. If I were to stay longer, I'd likely sell the home, but want to test the waters before I do that.
This may not be fair, but I'm putting this notice out to see if there is interest in that long of a sit. The dates are undetermined at this point but within the next couple of months to the first of the year would be the start date.
I don't have animals. I do have indoor and outdoor plants that I'd love to see survive. I generally have a 2x monthly yard service. If you like yardwork, I could cancel that for a year. For now, I'd like the house to be occupied, but if you wanted/needed to get away for up to a couple of weeks, I think that would be doable.
This house is across the street from a city park, an Arts and Tech middle school, and pickle ball courts down the street! (I have good windows for noise so never hear the clip clop of pickle ball paddles). The home is west facing. Sunsets can be really lovely from front room/front porch. It's an fairly quiet neighborhood, lots of walkers here, with friendly and neighborly neighbors on each side.(It's actually called "Friendly neighborhood" because there is a street named Friendly that goes through the middle of the neighborhood). I am about 4 blocks from a bus stop that goes into downtown or to the Univ of Oregon. It's a non-smoking house. I haven't had a pet in about a year.
There is a community college in Eugene that offers community ed type classes (yoga, arts, field trips etc) as well as community centers that offer classes, and a fun kitchen store that offers cooking classes. I am attaching some links below to various attractions and info about the area. This is a great town for biking, hiking, birding, and lots of places to eat. Grocery stores range from local/organic to traditional. There are two artsy movie theatres as well as the traditional cinaplex. GREAT Saturday market and a produce truck parks down the street once/wk in summer. Some sites below for more information.
I would be happy to answer questions.
