[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Re: Group house opportunity!

Hi, everyone!  I've made some changes to my ad so am sending through now.  Thanks!
Marc


Opportunity for intentional living! Available December 1. I am a friendly Buddhist/vipassana practitioner looking for two housemates to co-create a new, intentional community together in Kensington that is supportive of deepening our spiritual/meditative practices and also of having fun and feeling relaxed to be ourselves!

I see this as some configuration of regular sits together and a heathy balance of camaraderie, occasional meals, listening to dharma talks, contemplations, and time to ourselves. The home has been renovated and has A/C, washer/dryer (in basement), and a dishwasher. It's 1.6 miles from the Wheaton Metro, 1 mile from the MARC station, close to historic Antique Row and the farmer's market, Rock Creek Park, and 495.

Each bedroom/bath is on its own floor. (I'll be on the top floor.) The two available bedrooms/baths are as follows:

- $900 - Bedroom on the first floor with closet and full bath (with tub) across the hall.
- $900 - Fully-finished basement with bedroom, separate living room, full bath with shower, and separate entrance.

Utilities (gas, electric, water) would be split by all (approx. $100 each or less per month) plus sharing of WiFi bill. One-month security deposit.

There are three common areas: the living room, kitchen, sun room, and meditation room.

If interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself and your interests in this type of living. Thanks!

Dear fellow sangha members,

Another opportunity through our wonderful community for a home for intentional living! I will hopefully have a new home (in process of buying now) as of October 30. It's in Kensington and I'll be looking for two housemates who are interested in creating together community that is supportive of deepening our spiritual/meditative practices and also of having fun and feeling relaxed to be ourselves!

I see this as some configuration of regular sits together and a heathy balance of camaraderie, occasional meals, dharma talks, contemplations, and time to ourselves. I'm also open to suggestions too! The address is 10711 Pearson Street, 20895. Here is a link for the pictures: https://goo.gl/photos/F3SzsHiYLrLkNvJXA It's 1.6 miles from the Wheaton Metro and 1 mile to the MARC station. I'll be new to Kensington, myself, but everyone I've talked to loves it there. And it's well-located – convenient to many things (DC, the beltway, metro, MARC train, etc.).

The home is set up in such a way that each person would have their own bedroom and bath. The basement has its own bedroom and a little living room and a bathroom; the first floor has a bedroom and bath (there's a smaller bedroom next to that which I was thinking of as one of the meditation areas but am not totally decided yet); and the top floor with a bedroom and bath is what I would occupy for myself. There a nice big back yard that I'm looking at as a canvas for fun! And open to suggestions/participation. The rent would be about $900/mo (still working out final figures!) plus 1/3 utilities (approx. 100 or less). And I'd be looking for roommates somewhere in the November/December timeframe.

If you think you are interested, let me know and we can meet up and discuss further. Or if you know of anyone else who might be interested in this, please feel free to let them know too!

Best,
Marc
