Greetings!  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teal... 
is an eight-member cooperative household near Teele Square in Somerville, 
close to Tufts and the Davis Square T. We are looking for a NEW HOUSEMATE!   
Les/bi/straight are all welcome.  We are a community-minded and close-knit 
co-op:  friendly, diverse, creative, semi-vegetarian and non-smoking.
   We are in a big blue house on a quiet side street, and we have a 
      Huge eat-in kitchen, which is perfect for our regular 
         Biweekly potluck/folksings (& occasional Irish sessions), when the
            Dishwasher comes in handy, as well as the 
               Bright & airy living room adjoining the
                  Common library/study/art room  for
                     Music after supper.
Porches on both 1st & 2nd floors are 
  Lovely to eat upon in summer, and overlook a 
    Great back yard shaded by a giant 
       Norway maple (which bears swing & hammock) and having numerous
         Gardens containing lots of vegetables & herbs & raspberries and
           Flowers like astilbe & anemone, bridalveil & bleeding heart, 
             Crocus, canna, & cleome, daffodil & daylily, English ivy, 
               Forsythia, forget-me-not, & frittilaria, Glory-of-the-snow,
                 Hyacinth & hollyhock, iris & impatiens, Japanese barberry,
                   Lilac, lamium & lady's mantle, marigold & morning glory, 
                     Nasturtium & narcissus, orchids & ornithogallum, 
                       Peonies & primroses, roses climbing up the porch, 
                         Scotch broom, spiderflower, snapdragon & snowdrop, 
                           Tiger lily & tulip, violet & vinca, windflower, 
                             Yellow sorrel, zinnia, and a three-bin
                               Compost pile to nourish it all!
A room in our house will be available on or about September 1st.
   This room has an odd and interesting shape and  
      Two south-facing windows for lots of light & air, and is 
         On the third floor where it's cool in summer and warm in winter.
            The rent is $285 plus food and utilities and 
               We recently insulated the house so the latter are lowered.
Other fine attributes include:
  Laundry facilities and a well-appointe woodshop in the basement.
    Garage providing ground-level bike storage, a must!
       Wood floors throughout the house, except for
         Tile in the kitchen and in the (count 'em)
           Three bathrooms, two with tub & shower and one with a   
             Great big bathtub for those long comfy soaks.
               Much of the house has been recently renovated.
                 A wonderful & friendly cat named Liekkissa lives with us.
                   Multiple phone lines include one for real live 
                     Internet access right here at home.
                       On and off-street parking are available.
                          Our phone number is (617) 628-8089; our collective 
                             Email is house [at] ossian.harvard.edu so do
                               Get in touch if you are interested!
                                 (please forgive duplicates/multiple lists)
p.s.  If this sounds nice but you are a group, note also that a four-bedroom 
   apartment in a house adjacent to ours is becoming available on July 1st.
      Huge yard, hardwood floors, enclosed porch;  they are asking $1400.
         We would love to have interesting, community-minded folk live there
            and share dinners, projects, picnics, and sings...
