Cohousing-L Mailing List: Co-op in Somerville, MA seeks new housemate

[Maren Leyla Cooke (maren]

Hi, all -- Once again, Teal Co-op is looking for a new member.  For folks  
who haven't found their ideal coho situation and are either living in or  
considering moving to the Boston area, here's a snapshot of our home.
(the gardens, of course, look a tad different now as winter settles in.)

        -- Maren.

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/gay/straight all welcome; current members vary. We're a  
community-minded and fairly close-knit co-op: friendly, diverse, creative,  
environmentally aware, semi-vegetarian & non-smoking.
We live in a big teal 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 a hammock) and having numerous
         Gardens containing lots of vegetables & herbs & raspberries and
           Flowers like astilbe & anemone, bridalveil, broom & bleedingheart,
             Crocus, canna, & cleome, daffodil & daylily, English ivy,
               Forsythia, forget-me-not, & frittilaria, Glory-of-the-snow,
                 Hyacinth & hollyhock, iris & impatiens, Japanese barberry,
                   Lilacs, lamium & lady's mantle, marigolds & morning glory,
                     Nasturtium & narcissus, orchids & ornithogallum,
                       Peonies & primroses, roses climbing up the porch,
                         Solomon's seal, spiderflower, snapdragon & snowdrop,
                           Tiger lily & tulip, violet & vinca, windflower,
                             Yellow sorrel, zinnia, and a three-bin
                               Compost pile to nourish it all!
A large, sunny  room in our house is now available.
   The rent is currently $330 for one person, plus food and utilities and
       We recently insulated the house so the latter are lowered.
Other fine attributes include:
  Laundry facilities and a well-appointed 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.
               Most of the house has been recently renovated.
                 A wonderful cat named Liekkissa lives with us
                   (and likes to be the only cat).
                     Multiple phone lines include one for real live
                       Internet access right here at home.
                         On and off-street parking are available.
