Beautiful Space Available in Large Victorian With Shared Patio/Yard/Garden
 
We are two single moms and our two children (aged three and five) who have
found a gorgeous, tastefully renovated and charming duplex which we hope
to fill with other progressive, community oriented, nature-loving,
spiritually grounded folk interested in collective gardening, shared
parenting, composting... 
 
We plan to occupy the upper flat of the duplex and hope to develop a nice
balance between personal and shared space on the site. Some potential for
pulling down fences and creating a much larger community garden space -
not confirmed. The owner is connected to the East Bay Co-Housing
community, and is therefore very open to the establishment of an
organically evolving fill-in cohousing project on the property. The site
certainly has some potential for this. If this sounds like a vision you've
also been holding, give us a call and let's see if we can't dream it
forward together.
