Description

We're looking for a tenant who would live in our third floor, which is a big, private area of our house. This area has a bedroom with a bed and a closet, and a big 'living room' with lots of books, shelves, a desk, etc. The tenant would also have their own bathroom with a big walk-in shower. The house is absolutely beautiful, tastefully decorated, and perfectly suited for a postdoc / visiting professor / lecturer / new professor who wants to settle into the Valley. It has everything an academic heart could desire: beautiful reading spaces, loads of books, a separate dining room with a huge table to work on, a beautiful sun room full of plants and lights that also serves as inspiring working area, a big high-tech kitchen, a huge garden with grill, fireplace, and dining area, a pool, a basement with TV area and gym, and more. Your house mate would be Guillermo, a professor in philosophy at UMass. You would also have to be comfortable living with two dogs; however, you would have zero caretaking responsibilities, of course. The house is located in the "Highlands" in Holyoke, MA. This area is beautiful and very safe. There are 5 tennis courts and a park just one block away. Mount Tom, which is a well-known hiker destination, is just a couple of minutes away. Many professors who work at all the colleges in the valley live in our neighborhood. Easthampton and Northampton are less than a 15 minute drive away. Sabbaticalhomes only allows us to upload 10 photos, but the house has many more gorgeous rooms. We can send you many more photos upon request. The rate is for one person. We are open to the possibility of 2 people moving in for a surcharge of $250.
