We're still looking for roommates at our fabulous place in Bolton, MA. Bolton is about an hour west of Boston, about 30 minutes northeast of Worcester, about 20 minutes south of Lowell, between Route 2 and the Mass Pike on I-495. We're about 5 minutes from either of 2 exits from 495, but you'd never guess from standing outside. Residents commute to Burlington, Framingham, Waltham, and Boston with ease. Commuter rail stations are within easy driving distance, if driving all the way seems too long. Homeport is a long-term group house, which has held as many as 7 adults and 2 kids; now 4 adults and 1 kid; soon to be 3 adults and 1 kid. We're open to families, couples, small groups, whatever. We've got two rooms available, and could free another, if the right folks came along. We have 3.5 acres of land bordering on conservation land, a 4500 square foot house, 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and many common amenities -- huge "Great Room" with fireplace, Family Room with jumbotron (big screen TV), outdoor 8-person hot tub and deck, indoor 2-person jacuzzi, multimedia collection and players to match, high-speed Internet with wired and wireless connections throughout, office with desks for each resident, and very interesting housemates. We're very inclusive -- our household has included Pagans, Jews, Christians, atheists and agnostics; poly- and mono-amorous; and others. Please don't be put off if your special-group isn't listed -- we just don't have a resident like you yet, or I forgot to include that label... Pets are negotiable. (We now have 3 indoor/outdoor cats, which will soon be 2 (or maybe 1), and can declare cat-free rooms, if needed.) We do an all inclusive "rent" for boarders, covering food, utilities, room, internet, cable, phone, professional house-cleaning for common spaces, etc. Becoming a permanent member, and thus part owner, is also a possibility, if things work out. We need to get about $1500/month/room. This equates to somewhere between $800 and $1000 for rent alone, given everything we wrap in. If you have two people and want to split these costs and share a room, kicking in a bit more for food and such would be negotiable... but appreciated! If you know anyone who'd like to live in this cool place, and can afford anything near that (please remember and remind -- this is not just rent -- this covers most all the monthly bills), please let them (and us) know.... The place is resident-owned, but the mortgage is larger than we 3 can cover. If we can't find anyone soon -- like committed by August 1, with contributions starting by September 1 -- we will need to sell and move, and that will suck in too many ways to count (I hate summer-time moving even more than winter-time moving, and I've moved in two blizzards...). So -- please spread the word.... You can find this listing on Craigslist, with pictures and more -- http://boston.craigslist.org/roo/35960720.html Or just come straight to the house website -- http://www.homeport.org/ Thanks, Ted
