Join us in our Christian women family home on a leafy street in suburban McLean, Virginia.

The idea behind this Christian home is support for Christian women. Come to town, find your church, learn your commute, and develop friends. You will be much wiser about signing a full-year lease with other women after having gotten to know Washington, DC, in your first months here. We are a launch pad!

The private upstairs bedroom has a lovely view, is fully furnished, and shares a bathroom — two sinks, big mirror, bathtub – with the owner (me).

We are four women sharing a house; the owner who normally lives here (this is the house where she raised her children) works out of state, but comes home about once a month. The house is a fairly large family home, and all of the main floor spaces are shared: a living room, a dining room, a family room, a powder room, the kitchen, and two refrigerators. The owner provides paper towels, toilet paper, and household supplies such as dishwasher soap, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Our housekeeper comes once per month to clean and change your bed linens. The charge for the housekeeper is included in your rent. Housemates have a chore chart and do chores (trash bins to the street and back, vacuuming, kitchen floor) in rotation, customarily once per month; chores take 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending upon your own pace, The electric bill is shared equally among the housemates and is your only cost over and above the monthly rent, usually less than $60 per month.

Parking is in the driveway and on the street near the house. Over the years, we have had only two housemates who have not had a car. They did well, though it is hard to live in the suburbs without wheels. Our nearest metro is the silver line McLean Station, not in walking distance of the house unless you are an intrepid walker. A metrobus comes at the top of the street, about a two minute walk. It’s a small street, only 9 houses. Behind us is a small forest, with a walking trail. The owner has used it for prayer walks for years.

The owner has provided a launch pad for Christian women for over fifteen years. We have had bridal showers, baby showers, engagement parties, and not long ago, one housemate was bridesmaid for another. This is the perfect circumstance for a young woman new to Washington, DC. Our house is a warm, friendly, safe place. Invite your Small Group. Invite your family and college buds. If you are driving a long way with family, they are welcome to stay a few days, of course! Your rent term is four months, but of course you may stay longer. Rent increases 5% in the second and subsequent years. Several of us have been housemates for two years or more.

We love the Lord and live according to His values. We are a loving and kind household and are praying for our next Housemate!
