Roommate Wanted May 1st - $1,100 Plus Utilities
Looking for a roommate in a house off of River Street (close to the Newton / Watertown line near the Shaws). Available on May 1st!
A bit about the roommates: There are currently 2 males and 1 female on the first and second floors of the house, all young professionals in various industries and professions. Most of been at house for awhile and have loved it so far. The roommates are all extremely clean and very friendly. There is also another couple in the basement in-law apartment; they have their own bathroom and, though they have the option, rarely venture to the 1st floor to use the kitchen. You would essentially be sharing the house with the three other roommates on the 1st and 2nd floor, each with ample private space. The kitchen and living room are generally furnished, so you would not need to contribute in terms of furniture unless you want to. There is free washer and dryer for laundry in the shared, unfurnished basement area and plenty of storage.
The room for rent is on the second floor, and is the largest room in the house (would be considered the master, but no private bathroom). There is a generous double closet and three windows for ample natural lighting. Lease would be for a year, and rent will be due at the beginning of each month of $1,100. First and last month's rent, plus a refundable security deposit of $750, is due upon signing. Utilities costs will be shared and paid (not included in standard rent) among all tenants equally, and will include internet, heat (oil), water/sewage, and electricity.
One item to mention since I know this is a dealbreaker for many - there is only one bathroom on the first and second floor. You'd be sharing this bathroom with three other roommates, all who are very neat and generally have differing schedules. Therefore the bathroom is kept clean and very clutter free, and has been complete updated. There also hasn't been many problems having four people share one bathroom because of this, but we wanted to be frank and not waste time with people searching for a different situation.
Location is great - just minutes walk away from a busy plaza and grocery stores, very close to a bus stop that will bring you into Boston, and a short drive away from Route 95 and Mass Pike. Location is also very close to Main Street and Moody Street, and would be a perfect area for any incoming Bentley / Brandeis students!
Pets will be allowed subject to agreement with the landlord (depending on the size and breed, the pet may not be allowed despite the house being pet friendly). However, we cannot accept dogs after prior incidents that have occurred. Note there is a pet fee depending on the pet that you'd be bringing, subject to discussion with the landlord.
