Hey there everyone!
I posted this very same thing on the facebook page, but thought i would throw it up here too just in case someone isn't checking both.
Looking for roommates for the most awesome of awesome houses! Im writing up a long ass description hoping to cover everything, but please feel free to email me with questions. It is an unbelievable house, an excellent place to live and a value that will help us all stretch our limited dollars as far as possible.
It is a 6 bedroom / 3.5 bathroom single-family house (ie no loud neighbors) of massive proportions. All the bedrooms are huge. We have a giant living room, atrium, library/game room/study, backyard, basement and kitchen. That said, when you need your own space youve got it and when you want to hang with others you can. Free washer and dryer are located in the basement, a hammock in the yard and plenty of on street parking. The house it self is in great condition yet still has plenty of character. The property manager is attentive; rapidly replacing almost anything that breaks (recently got a brand new hot water heater and washing machine). The house is a 5 minutes walk from porter square, 12 from Harvard (both on the redline), and a 15 minute bike ride from NEMS! Also its very close to the several grocery stores and arguable the best burger joint in the state. I should also mention that the local dive bar is only a 3 minute roll away. So the big question is how much does all this cost? Are you ready? $584 a month plus utilities! Utilities range from $35 (summer) to $110 (winter) a month and include gas, electric, premium channels, DVR and fast wireless throughout the house.
The atmosphere of the house is pretty chill. Sadly a great part of the house, the roommates, are changing up; I guess we have to grow up sometime. We were 3 girls and 3 guys and 4 are moving on: (1 got a real job in NJ, 1 is starting a PhD and 2 are leaving to be with significant others). Molly, the other surviving roommate, works for a non-profit downtown, bikes a bunch, and loves the summer, traveling and skiing. As for me: I like skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, climbing rocks, brit-rock, country- rock, alternative-rock, classic-rock, indie-rock, some chick-rock, some hip hop, a smattering of other genre, good beer, middle of the road wine, bad scotch, puppies, long walks on the beach etc. I think Ive probably rambled enough. You can friend me on facebook to check out my profile and see some party pics of the house (really, when else do you take pictures of your house?). The house is located on Craigie Street in Somerville and is affectionately referred to as Craigie in many pictures.
Im guessing well be busy guys and girls next year so I would love to fill the house with M1s. As such we would have the same schedules, we can work hard, play hard and help each other enjoy the year!
Ill be out of town with limited email, till the 4th of july. After that if anyone is interested in meeting up, seeing the place, grabbing a drink, etc. let me know.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
