I think the 5000 square foot house, a lot of space is important too. If the guy either recently got divorced or bought the place as an investment, making some money with a tenant/boarder isn’t uncommon.

The house is good, no doubt. Also I know the neighbourhood and it is safe. But a 35 year old man (whether bachelor or divorced) specifically requesting a woman who would be about 19-24 and offering her rides to school raises a few alarm bells.
