Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Right now, we are looking for an exchange for Spring, 2024 from mid-May to June for 3 to 4 weeks in the New York area. We are open to exchanges elsewhere in the summer and fall.

We are offering part of our home, a newly built one bedroom unit with large French windows that open to a quiet, sunny patio and garden. The house is spacious and has a flood of natural light throughout. Downstairs, there is a bedroom with a large sitting area, a bathroom and two desks for work. Upstairs, the kitchen opens out to a wrap-around deck which is a perfect spot to take your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The kitchen is equipped with new modern appliances, convention ovens and a large countertop with highchairs and a breakfast nook. There is a large living-room and a formal dinning room adjacent to the kitchen. The place is very comfortable for a couple, and a maximum of one additional family member.

The garden is meditative and serene with drought-resistant, native Californian plants and a lemon tree and herbs.

Our home is centrally located about four miles from downtown, and is a 5-minute walk from the two important museums - the Academy of Sciences and the De Young museum within the famous Golden Gate Park. We are also about a ten minute drive to Ocean Beach for the sunset gazer in you!

There is a large variety of dining and take-out restaurants within 5-10 minutes walk as well as bakeries, wine bars and small and fun boutiques with local merchandise. The farmer market is on every Sunday for fresh and organic produce and off-the-grid dinning experience.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We are in a friendly residential street in the Balboa Hollow neighborhood, in the Richmond District right next to Golden Gate Park, the City's great green space, larger than Central Park. Within a couple of blocks you will find several restaurants, cafes, bakeries and groceries. Clement Street is also a walk with dozens of reasonable priced restaurants, one of the Bay Area's best bookstores (Green Apple) and many interesting small stores. Close by in the Park, two of the leading museums in the city - the Renzo Piano-designed California Academy of Sciences (natural history) and the de Young Museum (one of the two leading fine arts museums - designed by Hertzog and de Meuron) are located in a historical campus. Also in easy walking distance are the 19th century Conservatory of Flowers, the San Francisco Botanical Gardens and the Japanese Tea Gardens. You can stroll, run or bike in the park - there are lakes for paddling, tennis courts, a polo field and much more. In the other direction, we are close to The Presidio, one of America's younger National Parks, with great walks and views accross The Bay to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and beyond. The Pacific Ocean is about 4 miles (6.4km) for sunset-gazers.
