Queer-Friendly Housing in Davis Square (available September)
We're looking for one more housemate for our 4BR apartment to enter a
September to June lease. The heat and water are included
in rent! Two cats, tons of common space, 1-3/4 baths, a dining room,
living room, and big kitchen.
We are looking for a poly/gay/bi/pagan/trans/etc-friendly, non-smoker
who likes sharing a house with others. Crafty or geeky a plus. :)
Sorry, no kids or pets ("cage pets" negotiable though). Communally,
we like to be friendly with our roommates and like occasional shared
meals (omnivorous), movie nights, and hanging out, but you don't have
to if that's not your thing. :) We also host parties of various sizes.
Please send inquiries to ladyanemone at gmail.com
About us:
Honey. I am a birth assistant and do freelance editing part-time.
Home frequently. When I'm in, I tend to knit, cook, read, have sex,
and play on the computer. Occasionally I have overnight guests.
Jim. Software engineer, not too geeky but have been known to fix
people's computers :) Spends a fair amount of time around the house
doing various creative type stuff, including: cooking, sewing, pattern
drafting and some website design.
Jen. 32yo Female technology worker, mostly quiet, randomly social
in the local goth scene, and a pretty laid-back and good mature
person overall. :) Her free time is spent hanging out with friends,
reading, or trying to poorly re-teach herself bass guitar.
Pretzel and Suzuki. Two lovable indoor-only fixed adult cats.
Unfortunately, two cats
is the landlord's limit for the apartment, but we do
guarantee their pettability. They don't ever need to be allowed in
your room if you don't want them there.
Communally, we like to be friendly with our roommates and like

parties of various sizes. The house is clothing-optional for residents
and their partners (but we'll happily put our clothes on when your
parents/new sweetie/coworkers are coming over ;). Jim and Honey are
also partnered long-term.
What we're looking for in a housemate:
A friendly person, poly/gay/bi/pagan/trans/etc-friendly, non-smoker
with no dogs or cats ("cage pets" negotiable) who likes to share a
house with others, doesn't mind cleaning up after themselves (but
doesn't mind some clutter either :).
Crafty and/or geeky a plus. Sorry, no kids or couples.
The House:
The apartment is on Orchard Street--5 minute walk to Davis Square
Station (Red Line), 7 minute walk to Porter Square Station (also Red
Line) Being so close to Davis and Porter we're just a few minutes from
lots of restaurants, convenience stores, groceries, etc. etc. (it's
Davis :).
We're also 30 seconds from Mass ave, which is the 77 bus, and Davis has
lots of buses. Super public-transit accessible if you haven't been
here before.
The apartment is the second and third floor of a two-family house.
Amenities include a nice-sized kitchen with great counter space,
living room, dining room, and additional common space areas (the
common space acreage is very nice :), 1 & 3/4 baths, basement,
partly-full garage (good for small storage), second floor enclosed
porch (where the kitty litter resides), and washer & drier in laundry
section in the basement (large basement). Plushy carpet in all rooms
except for kitchen and 70s wallpaper in most of the common space (it's
pretty muted). Usable driveway (i.e. you can park without blocking
people in :) and plenty of on-street parking. Resident parking
permits are one dollar (yeah, just $1) and temporary permits for
friends are easy to get (including multiple permits, useful for
move-ins, social gatherings, etc.)--a nice feature of Somerville.
The common areas are well furnished by the current housemates, but
room can be made for new housemate stuff
as well. A few notable common-area items are: lots of kitchen gear,
gas stove, new dishwasher, washer & dryer (free laundry),
TV/VCR, new DVD player, and a DVR box (like TIVO).
The room is a good-sized one with its own kitchenette (full-size
fridge, oven, sink, cabinet) and hardwood floors. The walls are wood
panelling, and you can paint them any color but black (landlord's
request) if you want to.
The rent for the room is $675 per month (total rent for the apartment
is $2600 that is split 4 ways, $675 for each for the three big
bedrooms and $575 for the little one (already occupied)).
Big plus:heating and hot water costs are included in the rent.
The only utilities we need to pay are electricity and phone/internet
and they usually run around $70 per month. Cable internet is provided
by Comcast and VOIP phone is provided by Primus. All of the bedrooms
have wireless internet access as well as CAT5 cable access (i.e.
normal internet cable) and the internet service is both high-speed and
reliable. As mentioned, there is also a free washer & dryer in the
basement.
The lease will run from September 2008 to June 2009. The
landlords are a couple living in Boston and seem pretty nice, and are
responsive. Fortunately, we've never needed to have too much
contact with them though. ☺
Getting in touch:
If you're interested or have any questions send us an email at
ladyanemone at gmail.com :) We're also on great terms with our
previous housemates and are happy to furnish references on request.
The current roommate is moving in with an old college friend in
another part of the city.
