One private bedroom and shared bathroom in 4 bedroom apartment (Shared Housing)

This single, private bedroom (affectionately called the Sienna Room) is part of a four-bedroom apartment located on the lowest level of the non-profit Nacul Center for Ecological Architecture—an old brick chapel repurposed for residential and... professional spaces. The upper-levels of the chapel are separate from the private apartment and contain various office spaces, one of which belongs to TIA Architects, the architecture firm of landlord Tullio Inglese. The upstairs office tenants are very respectful and never enter the private apartment, and are very neighborly as well.

The apartment has its own private entrance, but you can enter through the business door when it is unlocked during the day since it is close to the parking lot (free parking for tenants). However, we ask the apartment tenants not to use the business door at night when it is locked for safety. There are no people on the upper level at night, so the living space is entirely private and noise free. Although footsteps can be heard a little bit in the living room from above during the day.

The apartment is conveniently located on Main Street in Amherst at a walking distance from downtown Amherst, UMass, Amherst College, and a bus stop just a few feet away. It has a large and roomy living room with high ceilings, large windows, and hardwood floors throughout. There is also a small arched stage which is perfect for those who are artistically inclined. There is a full and equipped kitchen, two full bathrooms (one is private for the Cortona Room, one is shared for the Sienna Room + two other bedrooms), and a washer and dryer. There is also access to the apartment's private garden/backyard. The rental includes all furniture shown in the photos (a queen-size bed & mattress, two side tables with lamps, a desk & chair, a round table, a rocking chair, two additional lamps, and a bookshelf, as well as a closet.)

We are looking for a responsible and professional or study-focused individual. You will have three roommates, all graduate students from UMass (male and female) in their twenties. They are very friendly, respectful, mindful, and studious. They do have a few gatherings on weekends once in a while, but they make sure that it is during a time and day that does not interfere with their roommates. While they do host social gatherings every now and then, they would not call this a party house. The household is also LGBTQ+ friendly and 420 friendly. Tullio also prefers respectful tenants as his family with their children live next door. This is a great place for hardworking students who need a peaceful place to study. The entire building is surrounded by trees, chirping birds, and a small walk trail near the parking lot.

The room is a half-octogon shape, measuring 16 x 20 ft in either direction. Rent is $1,200/month, to be paid on the first day of each month (check or zelle accepted). This includes all utilities such as heat, electricity, wifi, property and grounds keep care, etc. A security deposit of $1,000 is to be paid at the beginning of the lease, and will be returned at the end, assuming the room is left in good condition. The room is available for a one year lease beginning as early as 10/01/26. Interested applicants please message us. Read More
