davis_square | Winter Hill apartment to share (Reply)

I'm looking for somebody to share an enormous apartment outside Davis Square, starting in September. People walk in the door and gasp at the size of the living room, the light, the hardwood floors. It's 20 minutes walk to Davis, with very convenient bus access to the Red, Orange, and Green lines. The apartment is a 2nd floor walkup in a converted Victorian, with free laundry in the basement.

Your private space would be a bedroom, plus another room to use as a study or craft space, and we'd share the big sunny living room, sunroom, eat-in kitchen, and bathroom. The common space is already furnished, but we can fit more stuff in here if we need to.

I'm a 45-year-old woman, a bookish introvert who spends a fair amount of time at home, not necessarily being sociable. I'm looking for a housemate who doesn't think sitting on the couch reading a book is code for "I'm lonely and would like to have a conversation." (I do like having conversations sometimes. Though I don’t want to be pushy. I like respecting boundaries.) I need to keep video and many perfumes out of common spaces. The apartment is and needs to remain smoke and alcohol free, pet free, queer-friendly, and poly-friendly.

The landlord wants to approve subletters and check credit. He doesn't want this to be a 3-person apartment, but I think he'd be ok with 2 adults and a baby. (And I'm certainly ok living with a housemate whose sweetheart sleeps over a lot!) Rent is $900, plus half the utilities. Please contact me at adrian.turtle.zoom@gmail.com if you're interested or have any questions. (Also, please pass this around to any friends who want a nice place to live.)
