Hi, I’m Anastasia — a private chef, artist, and all-around warm human looking for a roommate who vibes with good food, good conversation, and an open mind.I just moved back to Sarasota and I’m planning to rent a 3-bedroom house, hopefully centrally located or near downtown and the beaches, with a beautiful kitchen (yes, I cook… a lot… and yes, you will be tasting). I’m aiming to move within the next few weeks to a couple of months—taking my time to find the right place—and I’d love to connect with someone on a similar timeline.I have a good amount of furniture — think modern mid-century, boho, cozy-artist energy — but I don’t have bedroom furniture for the roommate’s space. I’m totally open to adding pieces in the shared areas if they fit the aesthetic. I love a home that feels intentional, warm, and lived-in, and I’m happy to blend styles as long as everything flows.The roommate vibe I’m looking for:* Budget around $* Open-minded, kind, and community-oriented* Cannabis-friendly* LGBTQ+ friendly* Liberal / left-leaning (I like the household energy to be aligned)* Comfortable with company, gatherings, music, and social energy* Appreciates a creative home that stays tidy and organized* A clear, easy communicator and good sense of humorI’m a private chef who loves feeding people, making art, gardening, and living a life full of creativity, beauty, and warmth. I’m clean, considerate, and financially stable. I practice yoga and meditation regularly, and I treat my home as a sanctuary—just one that occasionally hosts great company. I have a large family and a big circle of creative, musical, and intellectual friends, so expect some lively weekends here and there. My college-aged daughter also stays with me when she’s in town for holidays or visits.If you’re looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to land—and a roommate who believes in kindness, equity, humor, and the magic of a well-cooked meal—reach out. Let’s see if we’re a good match.
