The room:
Available June 1st: one room for $430. (Plus, each person in the house
contributes $100-$140 per month for all food and utilities.) This 2nd
floor room has two medium-sized closests and large windows on the
south-facing and east-facing walls. It measures about 12 feet square, and
is very cozy.
The house:
This amazing 9-bedroom-plus house is located next to the Pond in JP, a few
minutes walk to the Stony Brook T stop, right off of Centre Street. We
have a yard with a garden, large trees, and a hammock. In the basement you
can: do your laundry, work on your bike, build cool things, and store your
bikes and your stuff. We also have porches, plenty of bathrooms, two large
common spaces, a sunroom, lots of books, fireplaces that work, and lots of
windows.
The roommates:
We are about a dozen people, all in our 20's and 30's, and some of us
enjoy things like cooking, gardening, books, music-playing, activism,
organizing events, playing outside and so on. Queer-friendly! Also, two
wonderful cats and one amazing dog live here.
The cooperative:
We all share household responsibilities of cooking, food shopping, and
cleaning. Each person helps cook dinner (and clean up) with another
roommate for the house one night per week (and in return, you get 4-5
nights of dinner available to you). We buy vegan food for the house
(although you can buy/cook non-vegan food for yourself). We have a house
meeting every other week where we check-in, communicate things in
constructive ways, and make decisions by consensus. Sometimes we use the
common spaces in the house for fun events.
If you are interested (yay!) please visit http://beauforthouse.org/ to
apply. The application deadline is May 4th.
