[BCN] fwd: two spots in small co-op in Davis Sq

[Beacon Hill Friends House]

>In search of two adults for two spacious bedrooms on the second floor
>of our home for September, ideally with a minimum commitment of 9
>months.
>
>My home, 5 Lester Terrace, Davis Square Somerville, has been a
>co-operative house
>in various forms for 23 years.  I have owned this house since 1985
>and we have been as many as six adults and two children in this
>spacious three story single family house.  Some of our common values
>are: welcoming diversity (including disabilities), world-peace, being
>vegetarian, nonsmoking, appreciating world music and accommodating
>some music practice in the living room.  We have two indoor-outdoor
>cats who are quite relaxed, even affectionate.  My vision is to
>communicate comfortably and freely on a regular basis not only about
>the concrete tasks of running a home but also on how our lives and
>world affairs are going.  In practical terms, I am looking for folks
>who are interested in sharing  house-cleaning, food shopping and if
>workable, some shared cooking.
>
>Until mid-October, a friend, her 4-year-old son and her two-month-old
>son are living with me and sharing the third floor of my house.  My
>16-year-old daughter comes home from school in NH once a month on the
>weekend.
>
>I am just beginning a concentrated period of writing and completing
>my dissertation and searching for a part time teaching job.  It is
>useful to note that I am blind and I have the pleasure of using a
>speech-equipped PC for email and word processing.  I have also had
>the great fortune to travel and live for extended time in Europe as
>an undergraduate and in India to study one of the classical singing
>styles.  My daughter is adopted from India.  I am fluent in Hindi and
>German.  I teach languages, voice, and Indian music.  The two
>strongest influences in my life have been and continue to be the
>Society of Friends and Waldorf Education.
>
>What follows is the remaining necessary and important information.
>One room is furnished and with utilities and a parking place the cost
>is $750. The unfurnished room is $700 per month.  Generally I require
>one month deposit.  We have a washer and dryer in the basement, and
>room there to store bicycles.  There is a small side yard and back
>garden and it would be wonderful to have a passionate gardener as a
>house member who could direct its design and maintenance.  One can
>see Davis Square from our back door and yet thanks to the many one- way
>streets, it is very quiet here evenings and nights
>We also have wireless access to the internet.
