Suite in historic house close to campus
Hello,
We are renting out two rooms in our house in downtown Amherst for seven months, from 1 January 2025 through 31 July 2025, with a possibility to extend for an additional 12 months. Please note we are only considering graduate students,... visiting scholars, and professionals. If after reading the below you feel this would be a good fit, feel free to send a short email telling us a bit about yourself.
The house is a large, historically interesting one located on a quiet, beautiful street within walking distance of UMass, town, and Amherst College. We are a family of three - a journalist teaching at UMass, an entrepreneur who attended graduate school at UMass, and our six-year-old son. We speak a mix of German and English at home.
The rooms are 12'x13’ and 8'x11’ and are set up as a study/living room and bedroom. Each has good natural light and a closet, one of them large. The rooms are furnished with a queen mattress, daybed, desk, chairs, side tables, and lamps.
You’ll have the use of a bathroom with a washer-dryer, which we would share on a schedule that suits you. All utilities are included: Wifi, electricity, heat, hot water, laundry, trash and recycling pickup.
The rooms have no kitchen or kitchen access, but have a mini-fridge, toaster, microwave, and kettle. Our outgoing tenant had a UMass meal plan and otherwise often ate out with friends.
The rooms are on the second floor of our house and are accessed through our kitchen and up a back set of stairs. The hallway is separated from our upstairs living quarters by a door. While we will be respectful of your privacy, it’s worth noting that some sound travels from our quarters to yours and vice versa. So we’re hoping to find someone whose rhythms and routines are compatible with those of a young family.
Our outgoing tenant, who has been with us for two years, was a mid-career PhD candidate who was friendly, mature, neat, quiet, and self-sufficient - pretty much the ideal of what we’d be looking for in our next tenant.
If you think this sounds like a possible fit for you, please feel free to reach out - we look forward to hearing from you.
