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 (bearing swing & hammock) and having numerous
         Gardens containing lots of vegetables & herbs & raspberries and
           Flowers like astilbe & anemone, bridalveil & bleeding heart,

                     Nasturtium & narcissus, orchids & ornithogallum,
                       Peonies & primroses, roses climbing up the porch,
                         Scotch broom, spiderflower, snapdragon & snowdrop,

One of the largest rooms in our house will be available
  Any time from 1 February to the first of March.  This room has
    Three windows for lots of light & air, and is
      The rent for one person is $315 plus food and utilities and

              Great big bathtub for those long comfy soaks.
