davis_square | Opening SOON in gorgeous four-bedroom very near Davis, in the heart of Porter Square! (Reply)

I realize that this is just a bit outside Davis, but as I make the very short walk nearly daily, I thought that it wouldn't hurt to mention the place here.

TL;DR
One bedroom opening in beautiful apartment in heart of Porter Square. All residents friendly, responsible, fun and geeky! Rent scales based on bedroom size; this one would be ~$800/month. The move-in date is flexible, opening as early as 8/16 and continuing to be open until we fill the slot. More information and link to pictures behind the cut.

One bedroom opening in a gorgeous four-bedroom apartment in the heart of Porter Square. One or more of us has lived here in some configuration for twelve years now, and have an excellent relationship with the landlord. The rent has varied by bedroom size lately, with the smallest costing $700/month and the largest $950/month. The bedroom opening is pretty reasonably sized, and is $800.

The full photo list can be found here. Note: The room opening up is the one shown in these photos with purses hanging on the wall. Pictures are taken on an iPhone rather than a real camera; the pictures of a large bedroom (and the bathroom) are oddly yellow-tinted and much more cluttered than we usually are. The common room pictures are pretty indicative of roughly how clean we keep the place.

The Place
More about the apartment . . .

Location: The house is on a quiet tree-lined street off of Elm Street, the main thoroughfare between Porter and Davis Square. The walk from here to Porter is about three minutes.
Space and Amenities: We have a spacious living room and dining room separated with French doors, a big kitchen with modern amenities including a fairly new stove and a dishwasher, and a free washer and dryer in the basement. We also have two porches in good repair that have served us well in social situations.
Furnishings: Most of the common rooms will be pre-furnished with our things, but we'd love additions to the place! Come see; it's pretty swank.
Landlord: The landlord only owns this property. He's kind, respectful, attentive, timely and cares a lot about his tenants; he's kept the rent lower than he would offer to new people, and he's had us over for dinner a few times in the years we've lived here.
Geekery: The apartment would come with everything we own, including a full entertainment system (with Playstation III, XBox 360 with Rock Band 2 set, and Wii), a laser printer and tons of board/card games, and wired and wireless Internet options.
Misc.: No pets. No smoking, even on the porches; you'll be asked to do it on the curb. House is in no way childproofed.

Us
We are three young professionals and geeks whose ages range from mid-twenties to mid-to-late-thirties. D. is a consulting civil engineer, A. works in education, and I work with User Interfaces and QA. We all enjoy the arts. We all like to cook; some of us are more experienced than others. Our interests overlap in other ways -- all of us are LARPers, A. and I both enjoy fashion and costuming, and so on. We endeavor to be friendly, open-minded, responsible and communicative.

You!
We're looking for someone who:

pays rent and other bills on time, and takes responsibility for managing the cost breakdown of one utility in the house.
keeps the apartment clean. We're not obsessive about it, but like to think of the place as a home as much as possible, and that includes keeping it tidy. We've lately been able to manage keeping the place clean without a chore list, but may consider instituting one if others prefer.
is open-minded, specifically to queer/poly folks.
is communicative. We try to address any house concerns in a forthright, tactful manner that respects everyone's perspectives, and we hope for the same behavior from our housemates.
is preferably geeky and doesn't mind occasional social events. (With some emphasis on 'occasional', we're moderately social sorts, but try to keep each other informed as to when we're having guests over so no one's surprised and don't do it every day.) If you prefer to keep to yourself or aren't into what we're into, that's totally fine! But we welcome those who indulge in our hobbies and would enjoy our occasional get-togethers.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to either drop a comment here, or more reliably, send me a message through LiveJournal with an e-mail address at which I can contact you. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hearing from you!
